​Hyderabad: Being a world champion in professional high diving Bob Brown intends on living a life where risk is what he has to take every day.
Taking the responsibility for the safety of Hollywood stars while executing a stunt, planning it out in the budget, choreographing it and finally seeing it on the big screen; is what he enjoys.
“Education always prepares you for what you are up against. It’s great that students can get an education in Film and Media prior to their work, as it makes them ready for it.
Like being on a set, and knowing the functionality of it,” he said, to the students engaging in a question and answer session with famed film maker and stunt director Bob Brown.
Bob Brown was on a visit to the AISFM campus for a Master Class and interacted with the film school students and shared his experiences and tips on stunt co-ordination and other key elements to make a successful film.
He reminisced about the time he was working as a stunt man and later as a stunt coordinator in a numerous set of Hollywood projects including both film and television.
The students of AISFM were very interactive and discussed topics around the craft of filmmaking with him and had an intelligent exchange of opinions.
His recent Hollywood movies include XXX: The Return of Xander Cage and Pixels. With a vast number of films to his credit, spanning from 1985 to 2017, Bob is one of the most experienced professionals in the business, having an experience of over 30 years in the industry.
Director/Producer of his first feature film called “Urban Games” (China release May 2014), he has paved his way from being a stuntman to directing a movie.
Sets of videos of his sequences were shown to the students throughout the interaction, which they discussed in detail.
The versatility in his body of work was evident as each sequence had an extra edge to it. Bob has constantly been experimenting on the move, travelling to different parts of the world and contributing to the process of filmmaking, in a global way.
