Pera, panganib at propesyon is a 21 minute video documentary on stuntmen. It aims to show why stuntmen stay in the business despite the danger in the job brought about by daredevil stunts, poor working conditions and problems with their pay, interviews were done with Eddie Manalac (Stuntman of the year 92' and '94) and Aga Fazon (President ISAP-DO 2000). Pera in the title represents Eddie Manalac who has been in the business for 11 years now. He has able to support his wife and four children and let them experience the comforts of life with the money he earned doing dangerous stunts. Propesyon . Aga Fazon stayed in the business for 9 years because for him it is his life and his profession. Aga can be considered a professional stuntman in his own right because he undergoes training to become a success in his field. Panganib . Danger in the job is what both Aga and Eddie have in common. They risk their life and limb while on their job. Jumping from buildings, doing fight scenes and car crashes are just some of the dangerous stunts they do. The video was shot using the HI-8 format and was edited in U-Matic. Through this video we hope that the stuntmen be given due importance in terms of appreciation and recognition in the business.
