Yeah mad respect for stunt drivers from this end, too. The level of multitasking and combination of skills is just constantly astounding. Every driver needs to not only think like a driver and execute the moves, but also to think like a director and a DP to make sure those moves get properly captured by the cameras. Moving takes are probably some of the most expensive and complex parts of any film like this, so every time that whole massive crew has to reset it's costing six figures or more.

Exactly. It's amazing that any movie ever gets finished. Making a movie is a massive undertaking.
