My name is Isaac Hamon, and I am a Stunt Coordinator based in Wellington, New Zealand. I have been working in the film/tv industry for over 20 years and have over 250 credits as a stunt performer and stunt coordinator. I'm as excited about filmmaking as I have ever been and love the journey each project takes me on whether it's directing, coordinating, or performing.  

I love practical stunts and take great pride in designing sequences that are completely organic and rely only on in-camera techniques and clever editing to deliver engaging action. However, I’m also incredibly passionate about the integration of VFX with stunts and embrace these ever-evolving technologies to push the boundaries of creative storytelling. My close relationship with acclaimed digital effects providers, Wētā FX and my extensive experience in VFX-driven projects over the last 20 years has given me a unique understanding of where the physical/digital crossovers are, allowing for efficient shoots with minimal downtime, and delivering maximum results. 

Safe working practices are employed in all aspects of my work and my team and I take all practicable measures to minimise identifiable risks associated with all action elements. Productions are provided full risks and hazard assessments from me for all action sequences, no matter the size. These documents will adhere to local health and safety guidelines, the production’s own safety protocols, and my personal Stunt Procedures and Safe Working Guidelines.

As a stunt coordinator, my goal is to help bring a director’s vision to life regardless of budget, scope, timeframe, or location. I thrive in creative environments and around passionate people, and I only want to add to that with my inclusion.

If you have any questions or request any further information from me, then please feel free to contact me at any time. A complete list of credits and qualifications is available on request.
