When I was six, my parents gave me great advice:
"Make a living doing what you love." The result is businesses that thrive because they are things I love to do.
Science in the Movies is a live performance that reveals how science is used to make movie stunts and special effects. During a thrilling one hour assembly, our team uses Hollywood's ability to get and hold attention, performing six stunts and effects that teach over 100 essential STEM and safety concepts.
The program improves science understanding, which leads to better performance for students and teachers. Schools using this program often achieve 33 percent grade hikes on standardized tests!
Steve also offers professional development sessions, where teachers learn Science in the Movie's engaging classroom techniques that get students excited to learn.
Wolf Stuntworks creates thrilling moments for movies and live events.
In addition to having worked on thousands of movies, television shows, commercials, music videos and live events, we also hold world records for stunts and effects.
We use science & safety to shoot fireworks, indoor and outdoor pyro, and create a full range of effects including confetti, snow, foam, smoke, zip lines and rigging.
Stunt Ranch is a 22 acre park, offering exciting experiences including educational programs, Stunt Camp, Stunt Science Day, Company Picnics, Pyro School, Tactical Training, Paintball, Ropes Course, Climbing Wall, Swimming Pool, and anything else that sounds like fun.
It is a great place for school field trips, birthday parties, corporate retreats, professional development, and weddings!
Stunt Camp: Our week-long, hands-on day camp is where kids learn the secret science behind movie stunts & special effects, discovering the importance of science and safety concepts. Stunt camp is offered at Stunt Ranch and anywhere you have 20 or more campers.
Pyro School: offers professional training for grown-ups who still like to play with matches and run with scissors. If you’re fascinated with how huge fireballs, snowstorms, explosions, shooting and other effects are done, Pyro School is the perfect place. Pyro School covers all manner of physical effects that leave you smelling of diesel and gunpowder. The workshops are a fast ticket to working in the film industry, where skilled effects technicians are in high demand. The class is taught by highly experienced and licensed professionals, at Stunt Ranch.
Tactical Choices: training gives you the knowledge, skills and resources to keep yourself alive and to make choices that reduce your chances of trouble. Learning what puts you at risk, and prepare yourself for what's unavoidable.
Knowing that you can prevail against anyone who tries to hurt you or your family brings a tremendous sense of security. But this feeling is only realistic when you can back it up with skills, equipment and instantly effective actions. We'll guide you to having them all.
