Smith, Stunts, and Snorricams
Hold onto your hats, folks! Will Smith is back at it again, this time taking multitasking to a whole new level on the set of Bad Boys: Ride or Die. Known for his boundless energy and charismatic persona, Smith decided that regular stunts weren’t enough adrenaline. Nope, this time, he’s strapping on a Snorricam and filming the chaos himself!
A Tale of Cameras and Daring
Picture this: Will Smith in full action-hero mode, sprinting down the chaotic streets of Miami in the middle of an epic car chase. But wait—what’s that bizarre contraption fastened to his chest? That’s right, it’s a Snorricam, and Smith is not just dodging bullets; he’s also doubling as a cameraman.
The Snorricam setup allows the audience to essentially become hurricane-force winds, gusting face-first through each scene. Smith gets up close and personal, capturing every grimace, grin, and bead of sweat in glorious, jostling first-person. It’s like a GoPro on steroids, or in this case, on Fresh Prince charm.
The Inside Scoop
No stranger to taking on multiple roles, Smith’s decision to wrangle his own Snorricam has earned him a new nickname among the crew: The Cinematic Swiss Army Knife. Not only can he act, rap, and probably solve a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded, but now he’s adding cinematographer to his ever-growing résumé.
An insider shared, Will was so excited to try something new! He kept saying, ‘Why should the stunt guys have all the fun?’ By day three, he was running like a pro—camera bouncing against his chest, not missing a single beat of the action.
The Method Behind the Madness
Invented for the specific purpose of keeping actors’ faces in frame during hectic sequences, the Snorricam has been the darling of music videos and indie films for years. But it’s not exactly the kind of gear you hand to just anyone. One slight miscalculation, and you might wind up with a shot of your chin for an entire high-speed chase.
Yet, in true Will Smith fashion, he approached this new challenge with the same unyielding enthusiasm he gives to everything from fighting alien invasions to mentoring young actors. Proudly showcasing his new skill on social media, Smith even posted a video with the caption, Y’all ain’t ready for this ride!
The Ultimate Audience Experience
Producers are already buzzing with excitement, predicting that this raw, immersive approach will breathe new life into the franchise. By breaking the fourth wall with the Snorricam, we’re inviting the audience into the action like never before, one producer gleefully explained. “You feel every jolt, every slam, and every heart-pounding moment, as if you’re running right alongside Will.”
Considering Will Smith’s illustrious career and his knack for pushing boundaries, the audience can undoubtedly expect a mind-blowing visual rollercoaster. While the Snorricam might be a fresh endeavor, it will undoubtedly be executed with the finesse that’s become synonymous with his name.
Buckle Up for ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’
Whether he’s globe-trotting, bungee-jumping from helicopters, or now managing his very own Snorricam setup, Will Smith never ceases to amaze. Prepare yourself for a wild, unrelenting dive into high-tempo action where your favorite bad boy doesn’t just play the hero—he also captures it all in stomach-lurching, face-planting glory.
So, grab your popcorn, fasten your seatbelts, and get ready to witness Will Smith like never before. Because, come the release of Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the only thing you’ll be saying is, Woah, did Will Smith just film his own stunt?!
