We will entertain them with acrobats.

You see, technology is a way to evolve the evolution.

I'm Don Lockwood, the stuntman.

I don't want to be a stunt flyer.

Now, if you are interested, I will demonstrate some underground techniques.

He might have been a professional acrobat... maybe.

I'm a stunt coordinator. And as well as perform stunts I often design them.

You'll be all right.

In this case, they were using a real stunt man. It was a very dangerous stunt.

And I don't have any smart technology for you to look at.

And that is a wonderful position to be in to create some serious play.

And what technology is really about is better ways to evolve.

With such expert playacting, you make this very room a theater.

What I'd like to do first is take you through a very brief helicopter ride of stunts and the stunts industry in the movies and in television, and show you how technology has started to interface with the physical skills of the stunt performer in a way that makes the stunts bigger and actually makes them safer than they've ever been before.
