Well, you do, you know, it was part of, it was definitely part of the, the, um, old school mentality. It's like you, you learned how to, you know, hit a mini trampoline and jump in the air and like keep your head away from camera. And like you constantly, you know, it was a whole art form of like how to keep your head away from camera. Like I always try to give them the back of your head. Um,

And you just got good at it and you thought about it and it was really sort of, you know, in the whole protocol of how you approached any physical stunt. It's like, how am I going to hide my face and make it feel natural? Like, my hand is up at this point just blocking my face. Now...

It's kind of changed in the last decade or so because the ease of face replacement allows you to just let the stunt performer perform. And then if it's a few frames where we see a face, we can use a digital still and wrap it around their face. And with motion blur and simple visual effects, you can mask the stunt performer's profile or face or whatever.

And it allows the performers more freedom in doing the action and not trying to contort their body to hide their face.

Mm-hmm. I know that that's where the world is heading, and I think that that's okay. You know, for me, as someone who enjoys action films, I feel the difference in the stakes of what's happening on the screen with the characters when I feel that it's real. And so I think there'll always be... The want for that, I hope, especially for action film lovers, but actually just really good storytelling.
