Having toured the globe with renowned physical theatre company Legs on the Wall as well as the Sydney Theatre Company - performing alongside the likes of Cate Blanchett & Joseph Fiennes, she had formed a wealth of physical, technical & artistic vocabulary across multiple fields including directing & rigging that lent itself precisely to the stunt industry.

Frank Henson was without doubt one of the finest stunt drivers the UK has ever produced. His work throughout the seventies and eighties with Peter Brayham on iconic TV shows like The Sweeney and The Professionals has gone down in history.

 

He was also a regular in some of the biggest movies of the late 20th century including the James Bond series, Indiana Jones and most notably in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi as one of the stunt Biker Scouts.

 

Frank sadly passed away in April and as a tribute we have put together an interview that our Jon did with him about five years ago, intertwined with our thoughts on the great man and a tribute from stuntman, stunt coordinator and Franks friend for the last forty years Paul Weston.

 

A lovely man who has a story to tell - enjoy.

In the world of indie films people are always looking to include action without breaking the bank. In this special series of bonus episodes we look at various ways to that people are using innovative methods to 'get the shot'.

This episode is looking at Wiral Lite. A company started from a kickstarter campaign that wanted to film the 'impossible' shot and was blown away by the reception raising over a million dollars more than the funding goal! Founded in Norway the company is exceeding all exceptions.

The system is comprised of a motorized, remotely-controlled device that rolls across a cable fixed to two poles or similar structures. A camera can be attached to the bottom of Wiral LITE, which itself rolls across the cable while the camera records cinematic motion shots.

The cable cam system is being presented as an alternative to portable motorized slider devices, offering the ability to record motion shots over much larger distances than the average portable slider. It even can outdoor a drone!
