Wire work is a technique used in film and theater to create the illusion of flying or performing gravity-defying stunts. It involves the use of thin wires or cables that are attached to performers, allowing them to be lifted or moved in mid-air. This method is often employed in action scenes or fantasy productions to enhance visual storytelling. The process requires skilled technicians to rig the wires safely and ensure the performers' safety during stunts. Wire work is commonly seen in movies featuring superheroes, martial arts, or magical elements, contributing to the overall excitement and spectacle of the performance.
