(My goal is to do my best to keep it that way, It's already a good chance of getting hurt doing action, no sense making it worse by doing something stupid.) Thank you again Peter for this great site. I get questions all the time and I have been pointing those individuals here as well.

If I had this article before I created it, the project would have been greatly enhanced. One of my issues was that I was acting, directing, and doing stunt fighting. I ended up so bruised and sore during shooting that I had to take three days off between the first and second shoot day. It still came out ok for a first effort.

It can get really scary out there when there are no safety rules in place. If that is the case, I just hope the 1st AD can tell the director when something is not safe. I agree Edwin.

Having worked many no budget to low budget films I was rather shocked at some of the up and coming actors stories about not even having a coordinator at all and of people getting hurt because the director of the shoot just said ok...just do a tussle and swing at each other a bit....!!!! not how it's done folks), no one should ever get hurt for an action scene.
