FIGHTS

I coordinate physical action with actors and supporting artists of all ages and experience levels. I create a safe, collaborative environment where performers deliver believable, repeatable action that serves the story - shaped always by the director's vision, the production's needs, and the cast's physical capabilities. Whether working with seasoned professionals or first-timers, I tailor each sequence to support character and narrative impact.

ACTION

I have choreographed many large-scale action sequences for film, television, and theatre, including several large outdoor live events. I manage personnel and ensure smooth cross-department communication for safety. I specialise in action that intersects safely with VFX, practical effects, stunts, and armoury - police raids, running gun battles, large-scale sword fights, riots, background actors and other complex, multi-department sequences.

STUNTS

Although I prefer the title Fight or Action Director, I've worked as Stunt Coordinator on many productions since 2006 and continue to do so. A recent example was an Apple commercial filmed at Aberdeen Train Station, shot entirely with Scottish-based stunt professionals. I bring the same safety-first approach to this work as I do to fight direction. I also collaborate with other coordinators and will always recommend someone better suited if the job calls for it.

Carter is the go-to guy for everything fight-related in Scotland & beyond.
