Hi, this is a bonus episode.
Sometimes I get invited to interview a particular behind the scenes artist and I've decided I should say yes to them and get them out as bonus episodes.
So in this bonus episode, I spoke with stunt coordinator, Krista Perry. Krista is a, native Californian, who grew up travelling the country at the age of eight for competitive swimming. Finishing out her career as an All American Swimmer in the state of California. She is now a stunt performer and stunt coordinator, most recently working on Killers of the Flower moon and the series Reservation Dogs.
So here's my conversation with Krista. I hope you enjoy it.

So here's my conversation with Krista. I hope you enjoy it.
Takeaways
- The stunt industry is male-dominated, but Krista found her way into it through her background as an athlete.
- Discipline and teamwork are crucial in both athletics and stunts.
- Body awareness is important in stunts, and technology allows performers to analyze their form and make improvements.
- Working with actors who lack physical awareness can be challenging, but having a double provides a backup plan.
- Script breakdown and casting for stunts involve finding the right people with the necessary skills and background.
- The adaptation to VFX in stunts has allowed for more creative possibilities.
- Trust and relationships are key in the stunt industry, and working with familiar team members fosters a sense of shorthand and communication.
- Working on both big and small productions offers different experiences and opportunities for learning.
- There is a potential for Oscars for stunts to recognize the hard work and contributions of stunt performers.
