Description

Hollywood stuntman Damien Walters re-creates 10 of the most iconic action scenes from the last 100 years of cinema in one new ambitious performance: The Evolution of Stunts.

Damien Walters completely re-imagines the source material, devising a theatrical performance set within a fixed 3-walled set.

In place of larger props and expensive set design we used projection mapping on 4 surfaces to present immersive landscapes that could support practical effects in real time.

Action is continuous with the narrative literally driven along by Damien who was positioned on a 9-meter long treadmill with spring base that could rotate in either direction.

How To Be An Action Hero documents the filming of The Evolution Of Stunts.

A History Of Stunts sees film critic Ali Plumb match scenes to the films that inspired the stunt in a film-list format.
