Hit by Car - Video Included
This weekend we began filming our latest short film titled What's Wrong With You?! It is a dark comedy/dramady about a person who attempts to commit suicide. When his friends find out they (well...one of the two) decide to have an intervention to fix the problem and along the way the three realize what their friendship is really about.
Well, today we filmed the failed suicide attempt scene which happens to involve the depressed person running in front of a car. Now acting as this depressed person is are usual actor (I Want Money, Yearning for a Bed) and he isn't really trained in stunts. We have a friend who owns stunt pads and has taken some training in stunt work and luckily he looks just like our actor. So using his stunt ways, he happily volunteered to be our victim.
Needless to say, after multiple angles and nine attempts he walked away unharmed. Well, I've decided to load unedited footage of the best version of the stunt (located below). Watch his slipper, it goes sailing and eventually lands on the garbage can to the right of frame. Our speed was 20mph.

It looked real but didn't look like it would hurt him that much, then again it is a FAILED suicide attempt.

I'd imagine when it's all cut together properly it's going to look <i>really</i> painful. Am I right?It looked real but didn't look like it would hurt him that much, then again it is a FAILED suicide attempt.
I thought it looked great - ambitious and pulled off well.
Looking forward to the final film.

Yep. We have an angle from the interior of the car, down on the street looking head-on, and another on the street looking at an angle, I'm just saving the rest for the actual movie. My only issue is the slippers are actually flying off on their own so there really isn't control over where they go and in each clip it's different. I'm going to have to do some tricky editing to cover it up.
