Before you shoot we can advise you on the action sequences. What is possible, what could be changed, or other ways to shoot the scene to give you the same action content. If you have something special in mind Havoc can design the stunt for your particular needs. We can provide you with an estimated total cost of action for your project. This is an efficient way to save time and money.

A Stunt Coordinator/Fight Coordinator is hired by a production to create and coordinate the action scenes with the director. The director has an idea of how the scene should be shot and the stunt coordinator makes the scene a reality. The stunt coordinator decides how the gag is to be done, who has to do it and very often how to film it. All this is dependent upon the type of physical action, weather it's a simple stumble, or a major high fall. Safety of cast and crew is always the primary concern. No stunt is ever risk free.

If your production requires your lead actors to have a certain fighting style (martial arts, boxing, street fighting, etc.) or needs to be knowledgeable with weapons (swords, staffs and firearms) Havoc can teach them the safe use of the weapons, as well as how to sell the shot. Some actors are physical and do not need a stunt double, others due to their age or lack of skills should be doubled. For the audience to believe the scene, it is best to have the actor in the action as much as possible. However, due to insurance legalities and the danger of the action it is best to have a double. It is the stunt coordinator's responsibility to determine how much the actor can and should perform for the safety of all involved. Training before production starts gives the stunt coordinator time to measure the actor's skills, and allows your actor the time to gain the confidence and knowledge to sell the show.

When an actor is required to fly or do something that may place them in a stressed situation, it is the responsibility of the stunt coordinator to assure the performer's safety. Is there a need for wires or harness? Does the job require two or more actors? Is there a need for a ratchet machine? These sorts of questions and more can be answered by Havoc Stunt Services. We can hang, suspend, fly, or jerk a person through the air. We take the weight of decisions on our shoulders, leaving the director free to concentrate on the whole picture.

We can offer the same solutions for stage. Teaching actors fighting styles, choreographing fight scenes, providing stunt actors for plays. Stage fights, swordfights, stickfights, any kind of fight you can imagine, Havoc can supply the skills.

Havoc Stunt Services can offer a total action package, for any size project. Union or independent production, we can provide you with the skilled talent necessary to get the job done. From an individual, to a team of performers. Stunt coordination, planning to execution.
