My Stunt Coordinator came through yesterday. We tried two different locations for the fall in which she holds the camera while tumbling down the side of a hill.
Did four takes. Three takes at one location, one take at the other. The one take, which was the last was the best. She had that many falls in her, and of course the last one, her back pad slipped as she fell on a bush stump and rammed her spine. Nonetheless, she says if there's no blood, no stiches needed, it's a good day. And it was. Her adrenaline was contagious.
