Fire stunts and pyrotechnics create some of the most breathtaking moments in film, TV, and live performances. Whether it’s a full-body burn in a movie or a grand finale on stage, fire stunts grab attention like no other. However, working with fire carries significant risks, and managing those risks requires meticulous preparation, professional collaboration, and a deep sense of responsibility.
Fire stunts are among the most visually dramatic in the stunt world, and done right, they are designed to be very safe. With the correct preparation, performers shouldn’t even feel the heat or flames. However, this level of safety relies on the quality of the protective gear worn and strict adherence to safety protocols. Whether you're a performer or part of the crew, it’s essential to understand the key factors that make fire-resistant clothing effective and how to choose the best gear for your fire stunt kit.
Pyrotechnics are an essential component of the movie magic we witness on the big screen. From action-packed blockbusters to heart-wrenching dramas, these special effects bring stories to life and engage audiences like never before. The International Stunt Academy not only trains people in stunt and action acting but also offers education in practical special effects, including pyrotechnics. This article serves as an introduction to pyrotechnics, exploring their usage, main types, and iconic examples in action films.
As a leading provider of Stunt Training and Safety Courses, The International Stunt Academy is committed to ensuring the safety of all performers and crew involved in fire stunts. One of the key components of The ISA's Fire Stunt Safety Course and Certification (valid for 2 years) is burn identification and first aid.
