Why Realism Matters When Using a Stunt Manikin

Realistic Movement and Reactions

When a stunt manikin replaces a performer on screen, it must look, move and react convincingly. If its shape or movement appears unnatural, the audience may immediately recognise that they are watching a dummy and the illusion is lost.

Stunt Action Manikins are fully articulated, allowing them to be positioned precisely and react naturally during falls, collisions, fights, vehicle stunts and other high-risk scenes.

Their realistic human form helps productions capture more convincing footage while keeping performers away from unnecessary danger.

A believable result in front of the camera can also reduce the time and expense required to correct a shot in post-production.
