dude thank you so much for making this video. I've been so bored with life rn bc I didn't know schools like this existed but ig now I know where im going. ive always wanted to do stunt like being set on fire and stuff like that and me and my friends always do mock stunt scenes at gymnastics practice when the coaches aren't there its super fun.
Action movies are possible because of stunt men; we salute you👍
The cliff booth of real life 😅😅 awesome
Thank you ! I just went to International Stunt School this year and it was amazing! I met Dave Boushey too! This video is very helpful.
Right on! I wish the best in your journey into stunts. You can make it happen if you really go for it.
Greetings from G-town! It's always nice to see people get out and do kickass stuff.
My oldest nephew, Jamari said that he wanted to be a stuntman. He told me if he wanted to be a stuntman for film and television he have to be a background extra in order for him to begin his stunt work. Jamari had an interest in being Hollywood stuntman. What do they mean by SAG-AFTRA?
Very cool and genuine video. It almost seems like you have been kinda lucky with that Zohan job, haven't you ;)
Yes, it's being at the right place at the right time.
Yes, I do think luck does play a part. But I also believe it comes from the connections you make my sharing your passion. Your energy will attract the right people to help you create your dream as long as you keep taking steps forward.
Great story, I'm actually looking into being a stuntman. Might join a school next year in 2024
So glad I found this video. My dream
This is great. My dream of being a stuntman seems even more attainable now. Thank you
Thanks for sharing
Go stuntman I have mad respect for you dude
... Very cool, Paul ... You know I get asked this question, a ALOT, so I'll point all those guys to this survey. You're definitely 'on to something' so good luck !!
Thank you, Eden. I truly appreciate your continued support!
We always get miscalculated with traffic when living in LA 😆😅. We learn from our mistakes
Great story, thanks for sharing. I am in Hollywood pursuing a similar dream and want to learn more. Looking forward to the rest of your videos!
i hope you are sticking with it and making it happen. i wish you the best!
I have no previous experience..I'm really like to be a stuntman
*Hey. So... i'm a Girl and that's always a problem (obviously) So. I just wanted to know what Skills you need to have to be a Stunt.*
Very helpful, thank you very much
That gorgeous face certainly helped .
Heyy Paul I am Nandha, I'm from India and I want to be a professional stunt man. Could please help/navigate me.
Paul thanks for the video. Would you recommend doing work as an extra on set to get extras vouchers to make me eligible to join SAG? Or just go meet other stuntmen on set and maybe tell them i want to be a stuntman and meet some stunt coordinators and give them my resume/reel. I just got out of the marine corps this past year and i am no where near finishing college. I'd like to go to stunt school in LA and do full time stunt training and extras work in order to get my foot in the door. Do you think thats a good route to take if i dont really want to finish college right now and just get my ass into being a stuntman? My job as a marine was infantry rifleman so i have extreme skills in weaponry and i have an array of other talents/skills. I feel like a stunt coordinator cant turn me down if i have a legit reel and they could use someone that knows how to use weapons.
As a former Marine, you have some great options. You can do specialty background work for productions that need people with military training. The extra work you do will able you to get your vouchers to become SAG eligible. Extra work also helps you get familiar with how productions work and "set etiquette". Your knowledge of weapons is definitely going to be your key in.
Thank you so much for the reply you are helping more than you know brother!
What kind of jobs did you have on the side when you werent stunting? Thats my main problem right now is how to sustain myself and my skills while im not stunting
excellent question. surviving between jobs can be stressful and its nice to have a flexible job that gives you some monetary comfortable and the flexibility to take off for stunt work. In the past, I have been a pilates instructor, gymnastics coach, personal trainer, parkour coach.
Paul Darnell thanks for the advice paul but is a "full time stuntman" a thing? Or do you just get well known and recommended as you get job after job?
Yes, full-time stuntman is a thing. Some stunt players go from show to show to show.
Paul Darnell awesome thanks for all your help
Im going to that school in Seattle in July! Any tips?
Right on! Let me know how it goes. It was over 10 years ago when I went so I'm sure they have changed some things up. Please let me know how it goes. My favorite parts where the high falls and stunt driving.
Okay little help here.I am 15 and i really like stunts and some weeks ago my friend told me that he wanted to be a stuntman it was his dream,so i have never thought about that and now i really want to be one i have been interested on this job since the past weeks so first you have to get a different job and slowly advance on to stuntman is what you are saying,so this would be like the second job or how does this work i am really interested on it
What was the name of the stunt school in Australia?
im pretty agile but im not a flipper/parcour but i have expirence in boxing, filipino martial arts, and stage combat and i live in newyork do i have a good chance of getting in the stunt buisness?
How long have you been in college?
Hey PAUL! It’s jHill from Gtown High. My son watches your videos! Can you give him a shot out? His name is Caleb hill
Hey Jason! Glad he enjoys them! I need to make some more. What's up Caleb! He training and have fun!
Hey sorry for all the questions but when do you suggest traing and working out or have you combined the two? Like i noticed you bulked up since or during your career
triston dunn I think it’s important to have sessions where you train for strength which helps injury prevention and sessions where you train specific skills
Paul Darnell awesome thanks so much youve gone out of your way to help me ill turn on your notifications on youtube and like all your videos thanks again
My pleasure!
After training can I work as a stunt man ?
Hey Paul, if i go to stunt school, move to la, and start training at the gyms where all the stuntmen are, what else could i do to help me get my first job as a stuntman? I'm also going to try to be an extra this summer so i can get the vouchers and pay the fee to get into SAG. Should i start applying for jobs online after all this to help?
That's pretty much it. The only other thing would be to sign up with LA Casting or look into getting a commercial agent to send you to auditions. Do a google search for commercial agents in LA and try to set up some interviews. Good luck, you got this!
Hey Paul, I know this is 2 years late, but I was just curious as to what degree in college a stuntman would need?
You dont need a degree of any kind the only reason he told him to go to college is incase the stuntman thing doesnt pay the bills
*_.fusion._* products thanks but.....is that correct?
Who was the one person who disliked this
Just don"t tell me you live in that van
Some real tips, for future watchers. There's only 20 ish stuntman who actually made it. In the entire world(Yet America is the only ones to make actually movies) Most people will never make it, I'm most likely one of them. Try your hardest, prove your worth. If you can't. stop. Give up. Honestly.
