Action films are known for amazing stunts that showcase the abilities of the stuntmen and actors as they risk life and limb to pull off most daring feats. Quite often for these shots the cameras are locked down pretty tight to make sure everything is captured and so that the camera itself doesn\u2019t come into harm\u2019s way. However, as our technology continues to advance we are getting lighter, stronger cameras, and this really allows cameramen to get in on the action. Here are some of the most insane camera moves pulled off during an action sequence!<\/p>\n
Sam Hargrave, Marvel stuntman extraordinaire, makes his directorial debut with Netflix\u2019s Extraction<\/em>, a gritty action film starring Chris Hemsworth. Something unique about this film is that Hargrave operated the camera for most of the film, allowing him to utilize his skill as a stuntman and get some really impressive shots.<\/p>\n One of the most notable shots is the film\u2019s twelve-minute action scene. At first glance it may look like they use hood mounts or even a Russian arm to get the footage in the car chases. But, you\u2019ll notice just how easily the camera flows from one position to the next. Taking a look behind the scenes, you see that the director is actually strapped onto the front of a car!<\/p>\n this behind the scenes footage from extraction makes me want to duct tape myself to a car with a camera pic.twitter.com\/KTO0aohDUo<\/a><\/p>\n\n
