The Workshop
The workshop will take place over two days.
Level 1 will take place on days one and two. Level 2 will only take place on day two.
Level 1
Each student for Level 1 will perform multiple burns.
-
Starting with arm burns, we will focus on getting used to the feeling of being on fire, overriding the "Lizard Brain", and becoming comfortable on fire.
-
Next, we will work on half burns, or "jacket burns", focusing on moving with the fire and performing for camera.
-
Finally, once the student is comfortable with half burns, we will move on to 3/4th or full burns. This is where we take all the elements of performance and shoot a realistic burn close to what would be expected on set.
When not prepping or performing, each student will be learning how to set up, de-prep, and safety each burn.
Remember - for every 1 person on fire at least 3 others have a job.
Level 2
Any students who have taken a previous workshop with FJA Fire Stunts (or Northeast Fire Stunts) can sign up for Level 2.
Level 2 students will perform a complete scene ending in a full fire burn. There will be predetermined scenes for each person to choose from.
Level 1 students will train in the positions of set-up, safety, and prep and de-prep for each scene.
