FYI while my face is healing from that kick... what are some close calls you've had on set?

[devinsupertramp]

It was awesome working with you my friend! Nothing but good vibes! Glad we made the cut :)

You guys manage to get so much education and entertainment into the same video. Brilliant work!

Devin Graham, the man who inspired me years ago into using steadicams !

For those who’re saying the editing is a bit much in the demo, I think it’s an combination of two things

1. the nature of the location, it’s great but doesn’t look like there’s a lot of open room to hold on shots like you would say outdoors.
2. I think it was meant to so all the techniques you could use to film stunts so he used as many as possible to convey all the possibilities so it may seem a bit more choppy because of that, he was trying to show how you can get creative with this kind of video.

and after all this is called filming extreme stunts, not editing a stunt showreel. Anyway just some thoughts...

and Great Video

Hey Guys @Indy Mogul, I just basically saw most of your videos in literally ONE sitting! Amazing content quality, AMAZING guests, narrative and extremely useful information. I’m really grateful for people who put out such great content👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

I really respect that you guys aren't using the big names of the people you are interviewing as clickbait, but ultimately I think you probably should be. These videos are great and amazing and because nowadays everyone does it, I don't think anyone would judge you for joining in. It no doubt would increase your click through rate and help the channel grow, and seeing as your videos are so great and informative and deserve to be out there, it's a little wrong in order to make a right, yknow

When I was 17, I was recruited by one of those modeling agencies as I was walking down the street. That led to me going to stunt school which then led to me jumping off of buildings for awhile.. but I made more money from selling things so it never went anywhere.. which is good since I've had several concussions and can barely remember anything anymore.

Awesome guys. Devin was one of my original inspirations for my channels

[FilmsbyJPButler]

Really good content! Getting kicked in the face to get a shot, that... that is a true filmmaker! That facility where they practice looks really cool, thank you for the info!

[GusDaCosta]

Love it! So glad you are hosting this channel now...

[BarryIrwinBrophy]

Thanks for the instructional vids. Your journey reminds me of my own as I begin the process this year (after years of set backs).

[DovidStern]

THIS is the quality content I subscribe fore. Love Devin's stuff!

[meziens]

[KidHaru]

I had no idea the angle was that wide haha. You're a champ, Ted!

[ryanworkman]

When I heard Indymogal was coming back I was pumped, but since being re-launched I’ve seen videos plenty of other channels can meet . What I miss is the DIY stuff both props and gear.

This work for action scenes in film too... getting close makes things feel more intense!!!
