TRUE MOVIE STUNT GENIUS

by Dan O'Day on July 10, 2010

silent film comedyThis is Buster Keaton, who designed and performed all his own stunts.

Everything in this video clip is real. No CGI (obviously, due to the year in which the film was made: 1928). No trick photography. No editing illusions.

He designed it, built it, stood in exactly the right spot, and had faith that he knew what he was doing.

They always told me that math would come in handy. Now I know why.

Ever watched Benny and Joon? ( Johnny Depp)….he does a great Buster Keaton.

Oops. Sorry. I forgot to say “Roll Camera.” Could we try that one again?

Who Owns Whose Words



When you post something on this blog, you retain the right to use your words elsewhere.

I get to use your words elsewhere, too: in a newsletter, book, 3-D hologram, major motion
picture, etc. I'm not saying I will, but it's possible.

But you don't get to take the stuff I write here – even if it's in response to something you
wrote – and use it elsewhere.

Just so you know.

Thanks,
Dan O'Day
