What is a stunt coordinator?

Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars

A stunt coordinator is the department head responsible for designing, planning, and supervising all stunt work on a production including all vehicle-based action sequences.

For picture car work, the stunt coordinator specifies which vehicles need structural modifications, defines driving routes and speeds, approves all rigging, assigns stunt drivers, manages safety rehearsals, and serves as the primary communication bridge between the director's creative vision and what can be safely executed on camera. All vehicle stunt work is conducted under their authority.
