August 20th, 2007Vic's Movie Show Reel
NEW! - Vic's Commercial Show Reel
Above is my “MOVIE SHOW REEL” it basically contains a few clips from just a few of the movies I have directed the action on. Obviously it is impossible to include everything but I will try and update it for you as time goes on. Enjoy!
The NEW posting below it is my “COMMERCIAL SHOW REEL”. The commercials were great fun to shoot as it is a different challenge telling a story in 30 seconds without blowing anything up. I shot the commercials all over the World including Spain, Thailand, Japan and the USA

Dear Mr Armstrong,
I work for Firefly Productions, a television production company based in London. We are producing an exciting new TV series for the Discovery Channel and we’re looking for a Stunt Co-ordinator who can take part in a presenter-type role within the show. I contacted the office of the Taurus World Stunt Awards and they recommended you as a leading stunt co-ordinator who is very personable and a great communicator. I wanted to tell you about our project and find out whether you might be interested.
Series Synopsis:
This 13 part series for the Discovery Channel is all about testing objects to destruction on a massive scale, exposing the strengths and weaknesses of their design and composition. A cross between ‘Mythbusters’ and ‘Seconds from Disaster’, the series aims to put each featured object through its paces with experiments and tests before creating the ultimate ‘perfect storm’ scenario which will see the object reach its breaking point. From workshop hangars on a disused airfield, two engineers lead a team of experts who, along with an experienced stunt co-ordinator, will build, break and blast their way to understanding what planes, trains and automobiles can withstand.
We are looking for a stunt co-ordinator who has an engaging onscreen personality and the ability to interact well with the team and communicate what they do in a simple and interesting way for the viewer.
If this sounds like something you’d like to hear more about, please drop me a line.
Kind Regards,
Amy

Hi Vic,
Great show reels. What a amazing life you’ve had. You may have been asked this question countless times before but what film would you have loved to have worked on?
Keep up the good work & good health.

Dear Mr Armstrong,
I am looking for any stories or anecdotes you may have from working with Paddy Ryan, (if ,of course you did) As a friend of the family i hope to glean enough to build an in memoriam webpage or possibly even publish an ebook about the scrapes of this larger than life character.
if you can help, thanks in advance

Hi Vic,
Longtime no see.
I got a few MPs to recommend you and Andy for a knighthood. Long overdue.
I hope more people will join the campaign and lobby The Prime Minister, Business Minister, Culture Minister and Honours Panel on your behalf.
Take care,

Mr. Armstrong:
Paul Grondahl of the Albany Times Union here. I’ve covered lots of movies shot in the Albany area over the past 25 yrs. and am a friend of Phil Caruso, who lives locally and shoots stills for the film industry. He said he’s worked on some movies with you and suggested I contact you. Could I interview you about being stunt coordinator of “Salt” while you’re still in Albany? Let me know. Thanks. Paul Grondahl

Hi Jonathan, lovely to hear from you, I am back in LA prepping Green Hornet at the moment. Thanks for pushing for the Knighthood i believe there is a bit of a groundswell in that direction with quite a few people lobbying but i have heard nothing yet but i live in hope thanks though and it would be wonderful. What are you doing nowadays? I often think about you guy’s when i drive down Wilshire. take care and thanks again. Vic
