My friend, stuntman Christopher Tardieu, shared this link with me today. One of his recent projects involved a recurring stunt job for the hit MTV show Teen Wolf. While I don’t particularly watch the show, I thought I’d share this insight with you!

AfterBuzzTV is a website dedicated to bringing after-show interviews and podcasts to various TV series’ fans. They invited Chris as a guest speaker to an interview about various aspects of the MTV show Teen Wolf. The podcast was posted online yesterday. You can skip to 15:20 to see Chris speaking about working with the show’s stunt team, and the different angles they have to take into consideration.

A bit about the show’s premise..

Teen Wolf is an American television series developed by Jeff Davis for MTV. It is loosely based on the 1985 film of the same name. The show’s central character is Scott McCall (Tyler Posey), a high school student and social outcast who is bitten by a werewolf while looking for a dead girl in the woods. – Wikipedia

Working on shows and movies such as these is great, and provides us with a unique challenge. Having a supernatural plot line gives entertainers a chance to experiment with effects we would not normally have access to, and that might not even fit into a “regular” world view.

It’s always great to see stunt men getting recognition for their hard work. Too often, our line of work goes unnoticed in the public eye. Hopefully the trends we are beginning to see, that are bringing us into the forefront, will continue and help our industry continue to prosper.

Until next time,
