(cameraman) What've we got? We got a rooftop over there.
Yeah. That's where Brad Wright
creates the wonderful scripts for the show.
That's where we're going to fire the sniper shot from when we shoot Ronnie Cox.
Ronnie Cox is in position. He's ready to be killed.
That's Dan Shea. He's a professional. Don't look him in the eye. He's intense.
- What's he do? - He's a stunt coordinator.
You tell me.
Not a lot of people know this about Dan but he rarely wears underwear,
and when he does it's something special.
What?
Dan, why don't you describe to the camera...
- Ronnie's doing his own stunt. - Yes, he is.
lt's called the dry squib. lt has no blood.
- He'll have a dry squib here. No blood. - Which is an explosive device?
- lt is an explosive device. - lt could be dangerous?
Could be dangerous.
He did a series called Robocop and he had a couple of huge squibs.
And the concussion was such that it almost knocked him out.
But we're gonna do a small one and he'll fall onto some pads behind the limousine.
The last thing we need to do is to damage or injure Ronnie Cox.
- OK, first marks, everybody. - So, remember, you're background.
As soon as you see him running, go after him and come round.
All right, let's try it.
- And action. - And background.
Lots of animation.
Cody, get over, get over, Cody.
Good.
Bang! Screaming, screaming. Guns up!
OK, l need you higher profile.
You're down here.
And you're this way, right?
l'm not quite sure where that's at, but l'm available to you there.
That's where the camera's at.
Hello.
- OK, stand by and background. - Action!
Senator, one more picture.
(gunshot, screaming)
Get him in there. Stuff him in.
Move him up.
Who's your daddy? And cut.
So, get over here now.
He'll go from the stage to the car and fall over.
What speed do you want? 40 or 24?
They should be 24.
- 24? - Yep.
So, Ronnie, we're gonna get you switched over.
The shot'll start. You approach the car, you'll get shot and fall into the pad.
You got it.
- What if l sorta fell into the... - Where are the pads?
- Here's the thing. lt's coming from there? - That's correct.
lf he's here and he's opened up, this takes him this way.
Great. You comfortable with that?
Yeah, and l think that's the way he would go.
- We don't need a pad? - l don't think so.
- Where are you shooting from? - From the same two positions.
So, l will, l think... l don't think l need a pad, that's all l'm saying.
lf l'm here, once that hits me, it drives me this way and l'll just go in here.
Excellent. The beginning of the shot, you start here,
you'll make it to there, l'll give you a cue, we'll pop it and continue the scene.
Peter, that tall black guard, he's standing there not knowing what to do.
lf anything, he would be at least beside the senator,
between the door and the senator, and looking up top,
because the best shot for a sniper is from an elevated position.
Tell him. But make sure he's seen by this camera.
lt's all tactics.
- OK, stand by and background. - Action! Action!
(applause, cheering)
(crowd screams)
Senator's been hit/
- Cut! - Excellent.
Yeah, we meant it that way.
