Here’s some behind the scenes footage of member @hannahbetts1 , along with skydive colleagues @lewjumps and @craigobrienphotography who have been nominated for 3 TAURUS WORLD STUNT AWARDS for Best Highwork, Best Speciality Stunt and Best Overall Stunt by a Stuntwoman. They spend a week doing 25 Skydive’s out of planes and helicopters. @lewjumps was wearing no helmet or goggles, along with an awkard oxygen mask that severely limited her sight, Hannah had to pretend her character didn’t know how to skydive and be out of control while staying in frame, all the while @craigobrienphotography captured this footage with a camera helmet and his sky ninja skills while Hannah and @lewjumps speeds changed quickly from 120mph to 150mph! (CGI was used to remove the parachute from Lew’s back!) Thank you @jtholmesjr stuntcoordinator and @travisfienhage rigging/safety. #skydivingstunts#freefall#skyfight#stuntwomen#stuntwoman#stuntdouble#stunts#taurusworldstuntawards24
ATLAS, now out on Netflix. Thank you so much to stunt coordinator @alpop.stunts@cunning.stunts.ltd and assist coordinator @brettsheerin for putting together such a brilliant team. Shout out to hardest working rigger @stuntrig , and fight coordinator @_ryanthegray_ . Stunt Double for Jlo @amyejohnston (personally requested by Ms Lopez herself!) From green screen madness to rigging in mountains, it was a fun one.
Our Stuntwomen’s Association daredevil sister @hannahbettsstunts along with skydiver @lewjumps and freefall videographer @craigobrienphotography had a night to remember at the Taurus World Stunt Awards this past Saturday! They took home TWO prestigious awards - They won Best Overall Stunt by a Stuntwoman AND Best High Work which were announced back to back and caused some hilarity as they hadn’t managed to get back to their seats before the 2nd win was announced!
As the skydiving doubles for badasses @gal_gadot and @aliaabhatt on the movie #heartofstone Karen and Hannah are no strangers to defying gravity and pushing limits and these awards were so well deserved. Hannah even managed a shout out to our group despite being, and we quote “blacked out on stage” 😂😆
Massive props to freefall videographer @craigobrien for capturing their aerial artistry and huge thanks to skydiving stunt coordinator @jtholmesjr , @travisfienhage on safety and rigging, @k2larosa helicopter pilot and @skydive_perris for their location planes and pilots!
Join us in congratulating Hannah , Karen and Craig on their well-deserved Taurus wins and for continuing to raise the bar in the stunt world. #rememberjeannieepper#stunts#skydiving#taurusawards#stuntwomen#femaleempowerment#womensupportingwomen#skydivingstunts@gal_gadot@aliaabhatt
We lost a legend. Rest In Peace Jeannie Epper. The woman that stuntwomen owe so much to, the woman that did epic stunts in THAT costume with no room for pads, the woman that blazed the trail for the rest of us. My heart goes out to her family. #legend
Trying to find AN APPROPRIATE HOME for this abandoned sweet boy. Very young husky with gorgeous cuddly friendly temperament but, like many huskies, he likes to ROAM. He needs space, high fences and long walks. This is not your stay in the house all day and go on a one mile walk kinda dog. He is not chipped, we have posted on all the sites and no one is claiming him. We will of course contact all the appropriate husky rescues but I don’t want him to end up in a shit shelter. He will wear a leash but doesn’t understand it yet. Not remotely scared or aggressive (has been around chickens, not interested, not bothered by donkeys or horses either) but he needs training of course. Maybe 1 yr old. Could be younger. Message me with any leads.
Happy gotcha day to the quirkiest cat I know. 2 years ago I came across a skinny, matted, exhausted, chest and ear infected albeit epic cat. Couldn’t stop thinking about him, 2 days later went back and rescued him. One of the best things I’ve done. Love you Bodhi Bear.
The Taurus World Stunt Awards voting period ENDS TOMORROW! Did you vote yet? Our members @quick_whit_it and @hannahbetts1 are nominated! (See previous post for Whitney’s footage!) Here is the skydive sequence nomination for @hannahbetts1 (green jumpsuit) along with performer @lewjumps (black jumpsuit) and freefall videographer @craigobrienphotography who performed this whole sequence practically free falling from planes and helicopters! They shot this in 5 days doing about 25 Skydive’s (including rehearsals!) jumping from between 6000 - 13000 ft giving them only 15- 45 seconds per skydive to capture this footage! Thank you to stunt coordinator @jtholmesjr and good luck to all the nominees! Don’t forget to donate to the incredibly worthy #taurusfoundation that provides support for the international stunt community and financial assistance to members of the Taurus World Stunt Awards Academy, who experience a debilitating stunt-related injury.
