Pyrotechnics:

At the European Stunt School, we are also looking into another big part of the film industry - and that's SPECIAL FX and PYROTECHNICS!

As a stunt player you sometimes get really close to the explosions, therefore you need to get yourself familiar with the circumstances it creates. A fireball effect can reach high temperatures, and if you're to near you'll need to be protected against the heat or shrapnel.

Common Special FX and Pyrotechnics:

- Mortar hits (earth and in water), fireball FX, car-explosions, door and window destruction. Body hits (bullet hits on body), ricochets (on steel, stone and concrete), bullet hits (on walls, car body, ground ect.). Short-circuiting, smoke FX, fire (controlled), sparks (from car crashes ect.), smash glass, smash bottles, smash porcelain, smash mirrors. Breakable furniture, entire collapsing and collapsed sets .

Squibs:

You're bound to end up getting squibs plastered all over your body, for the effect of a bullet hitting you.

Christian Schandorph will prepare and demonstrate the different techniques, to make this effect look good. You will be shot and blown up - while having to act at the same time!

Fireballs:

Here you can see some of the different results you can achieve using various propellants and ways of projecting the explosions.

A good fireball effect still needs some skilled post-production, to make it sound as good as it looks.
