Free dives, canoe crashes, barefoot work — the intense physicality audiences behold on screen comes thanks to stunt coordinators. Their work isn’t accomplished with “Jackass”-style harebrained endeavors, but thoughtful planning that allows them to create safe, repeatable, in-budget and — let’s be honest — mind-blowing action.
Coogler watched and evaluated what Denison filmed, a process the coordinator jokes had him considering if he was going to request an aisle or window seat for the flight home if the director wasn’t impressed. While Coogler liked what he saw, he asked Denison to take down a notch on some of the water-fight sequences Denison had pitched. Coogler reminded him this was a Disney film after all.
If holding one’s breath for minutes at a time sounds easy, then imagine actually swimming and hitting a mark at the same time; it’s a true endurance test. , they all must rely on the coordinators to keep them safe, above or below the water. When possible, actors wore custom fit Vibrams, shoes with individual toes that Mbedu calls a “foot glove.” They were individually dyed to match personal skin tones, as was the medic’s gauze in case of issues during the strictly barefoot scenes.
With all the stunts in the first season, Chan looks back at a canoe scene as one that took far more work than it seems. To begin with, “you have to try and make canoes exciting, like, how do you make canoes look exciting?” Chan questions.
