Addictive Films: Hollywood Stunts for SBB
Addictive Films has produced the new accident prevention film «The Expert» for SBB. This marks the fourth time that Hollywood stuntman Oliver Keller has appeared in the film as the protagonist and narrator.
The 17-minute film will be shown to all 28,000 employees over the next two years. The events shown will also be discussed and analyzed. The film, which was conceived by Michel Girardin, is a central measure designed to increase safety. To captivate viewers from the start, the accidents were accompanied by an action-packed flight stunt intro, in which an SBB event was already woven in. During the footage, the helicopter, piloted by Jürg Fleischmann, flew at breakneck speed just inches away between the treetops and the train roof, the production company said. The camera in the second helicopter captured the scenes. This year, for the themed SBB accidents, they used actors who are supposed to focus on the emotional level. Addictive Films shot during five days in Grenchen, in the studio and at various original SBB locations. As in the last three "Experts", the film was directed by Swiss director Mike Huber.
