Many people are fans of some movie actors.They love the actions or movements that these actors make in the movie, but most of them do not know how these actors learn or make these movements. For example, many of the actions or movements that the actors make in a movie such as, fight, jump, and fly  are controled by a choregrapher who teaches them how to make that movement.

This is the case of Yuen Wo-Pin from China.He is considered the premiere action  choregrapher in the world.He has directed more than fifty movies, and he has helped a lot of  actors to get international fame by his actions or movements, such as, Jackie Chan, Sammono, Hung, and Li. In addition, in action movies, the actors use a technique called wire work, in which this gives them the illusion that they can fly, but they  are only contraled by a machine which allows them to do that.

In conclusion, when you think about your favorite actors, think about the people who are behind the camaras helping them to develop their skills of actions or movements inside  a movie.
