Tempest Freerunning

Behind the Scenes: The Recipe for Success on Set

At Tempest, we know our work can look pretty glamourous on camera. But behind the scenes, we’ve all got our own mountains to climb, whether its having the guts to pull off a new trick, being in a competition for the first time, or walking onto the set of a movie and learning how everything works.

Throughout January, Shane Daniels worked on a new set of skills while shooting the upcoming 3-D parkour and freerunning film, “RUN,” where he doubled lead actor William Moseley (who you may know as Peter from “The Chronicles of Narnia”).

“This is the first time I’ve been the double for the lead character. That’s a big deal,” Shane says.

“Some of the stunts I’ve done have definitely tested me, not only physically, but mentally as well. Having the confidence from [Tempest Teammates and friends] Victor, Luci, and Spider has definitely made me push my mental barriers, because they know my physical abilities.”

Shane was very grateful to Victor and Tempest for putting him on the project. And while getting to work on set with your friends isn’t commonplace, it made the experience even better.

“I’ve been very lucky to work with my teammates on this one, and they have been teaching me the ins and outs of how a stuntman should carry himself on set as well as how a movie is put together.”

Shane says working with the cast has been amazing too, and that he’s grown to be great friends with Will, Kelsey Chow (One Tree Hill), and Craig Henningsen (Broadway’s SPIDERMAN: Turn of the Dark).

Check out Shane and Will in this clip from the set of RUN, and stay tuned for more looks at the real lives of Team Tempest.
