Synopsis

Equity Foundation & The Stunt Guild of New Zealand present: A one day self-test workshop for stunt performers with the legendary David Van Horn! Prepare for an action role that has some lines and learn how to manage props in a self tape setting. You will gain camera-ready skills crucial for auditioning remotely and learn how to give a sense of your physical prowess effectively on screen. Additionally the workshop will cover technical aspects such as equipment setup, lighting, and sound quality to ensure professional-grade self-tapes. Places are limited and priority will be given to stunt performers who are Equity New Zealand members (but all are welcome).
