- Who is responsible for safety? Andrew Spieler (Assistant Director for RJ:The Show) and RocketJump director/co-creator Matthew Arnold sit down to have a real discussion about safety on set. They cover the precautions and safety measures taken for the large-scale stunts in the new action-packed short, Truck Flipper vs Bus Puncher, but also explain how placing the utmost importance on safety can actually better your film.
You should never compromise the safety of your crew for a shot. If you EVER feel unsafe or uncertain on set, speak up! Bring it to the attention of the Assistant Director, Producer, and Director. Ask questions, double check, and keep the lines of communication clear and open.

We just did our 48 hour film festival. Our movie involved a scene where prop guns were used to rob someone. When we were setting up to do that scene I immediately remembered this video. So I got everyone, mostly the actors, together and showed them the gun in full. Showed them it's fake, that it's just air that will come out, and that it's completely empty. We were going to be waving this around and point them in people's faces. So I'm glad I remembered this.
I appreciate the "slow is smooth and smooth is fast" statement. That's something I should probably work on.
+Lane Carter I had to smile when they said it, in martial arts we quote it a lot.
+Lane Carter Definitely my favorite quote out of everything they said.
+happyfoxproductions +1 to this. Amazing quote and I am taking it with me to my next production.

If you're an amateur film maker intending to use fake weapons or intimidating costumes, always remember to inform any residents living nearby to the shoot that you are filming and they should not be afraid. Secure the street or inform any members of the public that its a film shoot and they should not be alarmed. A colleague of mine from uni did a short film for his dissertation about a fight between gangs with ski masks and fake firearms on a public street. It was not blatantly obvious that its a film shoot so a member of the public called the police and soon they were surrounded by armed police officers. He got off with a warning but honestly, it was an accident waiting to happen.
Yes! Thank you for this. Identical to the speech we give intro filmmaking students every year but with way more fun and awesome anecdotes.

The Sarah Jones incident is a prime example of what could happen when those in charge neglect safety.
No mention of a "set medic?"....whenever stunts happen on a set, you should have a set medic, even on location particularly. OK, you can call 911, but if you had a set medic on board, you are mitigating most damage and assure your crew will get immediate first aid. Particularly with weapons, you need a special weapons handler too to assure all prop guns are handled with caution and locked up immediately after the scene is complete! -- Love your RJ Film School clips, however. With 19 years of experience on set as a medic, I enjoyed your stuff. Keep up great work.
They should be interviewing the stunt coordinator...
This was super educational.
I figured some out already, but it's nice getting experienced confirmation.
Good to see how professional you guys are as learning filmmakers! You set good examples, well done.
They should show this at my college instead of hiring Jay Sedrish.
+CZsWorld *sad trombone music* Pretty much.
Currently watching this for college Film Production management class!
I love how this video is exclusive to people who watched the whole video
Enjoyed this! Super important topic and something that, along with the anecdotes, you gave gravity and seriousness to.
Fabulous! I teach Prod. Planning/Mgmt and SAFETY is the first and last subject of our course! another on specific areas on set to 'make safe' - the basics.
really great advice, awesome vid
Truck Puncher vs. Bus Puncher short film was awesome
This video was really interesting. Thanks for all the tips :)
Great video guys, have subscribed and cant wait ti watch more videos. Thank you .
This was amazing and very informative!!
This is great, can you do more "101 movie making" videos?
F**ing interesting!! I really do enjoy every video of RJFS! Thank you :)
Awesome Video!!!
Great discussion!
This completely contradicts Devinsupertramps's "It's all about the shot". I like it.
Great video thanks guys :-)
The strange thing is that in the Netherlands two days back on a big tv serie set a terrible accident happend when after working a long day, a crew member accidentaly drove over an other crew member while going home. killing her,.. so be safe and may she rest in peace!
Oh No!!!
Nice info!
good job i love you guys!!!!!!!
you made me think of filmset as more stresful place then I thought before
There is no stronger constant in the world than a 1st AD's desire to use the word "powwow".
Looking at the description of this video, shouldn't the stunt coordinator be the first person you to go for anything before the AD, Producer or DIrector?
RocketJump: slow is smooth and smooth is fast
RUST SET: Time is money and money is everything
whats the title of the music at the end?
Start counting of different speeds, make the perfect annoucement :D
talking about prop/real guns on set, and mixing them up, does anyone remember the film 'The Crow' my god that was a safety nightmare!
Yeah, Bruce Lee's son killed by a real gun with real bullets.... It's amazing how that could've been an 'accident'.
they did have the worst accidents though, it was just a chain of them :P what about the crew members that died from electricity on a crane too?
That's the myth. The other claim is they flipped the squibs on his chest the wrong way and it killed him. What really happened is when they shot close ups for the front of a revolver they needed bullets in in the gun so it would look real, but with no powder or blanks. What they didn't think of is how one of those bullets may slip forward and get lodged into the barrel. In addition, in the ending shootout they did not think to check then, so they all loaded up their blank casings and had at it, but the revolver still had the bullet in the barrel. An equal and opposite reaction accrued bushing the bullet through the barrel and into Brandon Lee's body. Case closed...
Another thing about weapons, always let local law enforcement know you will be using them, even if they’re fake. The last thing you need on set is Johnny Law rolling up with a report of fools in the street with guns; it’s a quick way to lose time, and blow your schedule.
I think this was shot on Terminal Island. Looks familiar.
Unfortunately the 12 on, 12 off website is no longer active, and Pledge to Sarah redirects to another site!! :-(
If there is no AD, does set safety revert to the director or more of a producer/PA type?
+Devin Holmgren Hey Devin, if there is no First AD, or even when there is a First AD, Safety is a shared responsibility on set, but the tone for safety is set by the Producers and Directors. The First AD and Key PA are then tasked to enforce safety on set. Hope that helps!
Stunt coordinator???
Oh bummer, I was expecting more "behind the scenes" stuff rather than a lesson on safety
+Brisdad53 How they fliped the cars and so on?
+Ivz that's literally in the show itself
Soo they did use real vehicles?
why are the itunes versions being released so much later?
+VG the hoops apple makes content creators jump through always delay release times
Oh, OK. Good to know that ;-)
Another thing to take note of. Budget for safety all the time. Don't try to hire people just because "yay agendas we're obligated to follow!" or whatever. Hire the people who will be dedicated to create safe sets, and will work towards making the set safe, wether it's using airsoft guns, some crazy car rig that you need to stand far away from, whatever. Make sure that safety protocols are set up always, period. We do not need another Halyna Hutchins incident on another set.
When you rush, rush, rush things get overlooked, mistakes get made and the possibility of accidents increase. The slower you go the faster things get done because you usually get it right the first time. Safety is the responsibility of everyone. Never rely on someone else to make things safe. Anyone should have the ability to shut things down for safety. This is from over 30 years working at sea in a very dynamic, hostile and dangerous environment. I loved going to sea but you have to remember the sea is not your friend it is ALWAYS trying to kill you. The same thing can be said of any working environment, including film and TV sets. You got heavy stuff, sharp stuff, electrical stuff moving stuff and even explosives. That place is really trying to kill you.
And maybe get a set medic?
@8:50 "your busy-tired and you grab the wrong one", that awkward moment when you grab the wrong rocket launcher and blow up your actors.
Im so sad that the "making of" has turned into this. While I appreciate the RJFS apprach to teaching people. I really miss the old videos makings of. To see the cool video and have Freddie and Brandon just talk about how they made it was awesome. Why did they half to mix that with there film school stuff.
Because it's no longer just a bunch of guys making cool videos. It's a full time production house. It has far more people who are better to explain certain aspects of filming. Also, Freddie isn't always in charge of a shoot.
👍👍👍👍
Freddy looks funny at 5:14
the guy at the beginning said safety is second to last in terms of importance. penultimate.
CrazyRussianHacker approves this
It would be interesting to see a tutorial video showing how to film and edit a single scene with multiple characters having a dialogue. Like this one: czcams.com/video/o_ZKVoJu1l4/video.html If there are clear pitfalls and stumbling blocks to avoid.
Sometimes the "boring" stuff is the most important. I personally find the details interesting but... I'm just phrasing it how most people seem to view being "anal" over the details and such like it's too much work/unnecessary... It's really not.

This is why we use CGI kids!
***** Probably cheaper than wrecking a vehicle, not to mention cost per minute of people on set, insurance and the possibility of screwing up the take where the vehicle gets destroyed
But it makes the scene more entertaining
MR BISHOPPOP
Wait... So... safety is the SECOND most important thing when filming a dangerous action scene? Because that is what "penultimate" means.
+JackieChad penultimate means second to last, and they say that time is the only thing that comes above safety in filming. You can't avoid when a scene needs to be filmed, but you can choose how you control everything else involved to make it as safe as possible.
+JackieChad He says safety and time are the most important things so I guess time is more important than safety...?
+RBuckminsterFuller +JackieChad +flandrescarlet9 - That was totally a jumbling of words on my part, ha! Sorry! I meant to say "Ultimate", but for some reason my brain short circuited and I said Penultimate, don't know why, must be getting old! Safety is the #1, Ultimate, Priority on set. No film is ever worth an injury or a death, ever! Thanks for watching! :)

Yeah go work on a big project and tell someone that you’re sick. Unless you’re union cast or crew I wouldn’t dare
Michael Bay disapproves
Non of these applies to Jackie Chan😅
STOP OVERUSING THE WORD "LIKE"! Makes you sound like airheads. Like, you know what I mean, like I'm just like, saying like....
