Perhaps don’t stick flying bladed cameras in a film star’s face

The upcoming Netflix present Agent From Above tried to movie its star up shut with a drone — and Taiwanese actor Kai Ko bought stitches, and presumably worse, when issues went improper (via DroneDJ).

We don’t have many confirmed particulars on what occurred throughout the December twenty seventh shoot apart from that they have been filming an motion scene close-up when the drone hit him within the face, slashing his cheek.

Ko’s supervisor advised Taiwanese media that the star suffered “severe disfigurement” and wanted as much as 30 stitches after the drone exploded. Manufacturing firms mm2 and Good Movies say “there was no explosion or blades shattering as reported in some articles,” declare it was working “inside normal security pointers,” and say that the drone’s propeller blades have been “shielded by a protecting layer.”

Each side agree that his cheeks have been injured and wanted stitches, although, and Variety confirmed that he hadn’t returned to work as of January eleventh, although manufacturing on the present has resumed.

Netflix doesn’t seem like commenting on the incident.

I humbly recommend that the “normal security pointers” ought to embody: “don’t movie anyplace close to an individual’s face with a flying bladed digicam.”
