Today we are shooting a fight scene between two kids and one kid runs
over a lit stove. The 1st A.D. does his safety meeting and points me
out to those on set.
I'm on set because there are kids and fire. Well, the "fight
coordinator" steps over to me and asks me to stay out of sight because
they are supperstitious about seeing the medic.
That is my pet peeve. I am trained to respond to emergencies and my
response time will be delayed if I'm not nearby. It doesn't make any
sense to sent the medic away from the action.
I do understand the stunt perspective, they think if they don't
acknowledge the chance of an accident then one won't happen.
I think this is a head in the sand approach.
Be well.
