Description
SAS has assembled a group of some of the most experienced in the business. True professionals with impressive real-world credentials and equally impressive film industry credits. Most of these select individuals are certified aerial and aviation riggers, boat operators, and diving instructors that have served their time as search and rescue professionals, firefighters, police, military special operations, commercial divers, and stuntmen. You can rest assured that our staff members are experienced, competent and more qualified than any average stunt or safetyman.
Special Skills & Experience
How often has expensive production time been lost because the crew did not understand the complexities of aerial, aviation or aquatic action sequences, or essential equipment was ruined, or even worse, lives endangered because of inexperienced people? To assist in all your aerial, aviation and aquatic production needs, we will make intelligent and reasonable suggestions about what it will take to get the job done right, and within budget. We will supply experienced riggers, divemasters and diving instructors to train and watch over your actors; technical advisors to work with the Director, Stunt Coordinator, writers, prop and wardrobe personnel; stuntmen and doubles to add realism to your production; and trained safety personnel to handle any aerial, aviation or aquatic problems before they become accidents.
