Not really nearly as bad but I blew out both my knees in high school at 16. Was told I would never run again before they even found out what was truly wrong. Turns out scar tissue had filled the space under my kneecap and had grown like a castle of crystals under my kneecap, grinding it down to a flat river rock like piece of bone. On the bottom.

5 years later I in fact do not run still as the impact hurts too bad. I do bike and hike but even that is limited by my knees. After playing soccer since I was 4 and on the XC team in high school, it was super hard to even find another group of friends to interact with. Worst part is living with it. Constant pain, activities limited by just pain that you can't solve. That sucks.

Edit: I should have replied to the OP's comment on this. Also, I feel like you are a super strong person OP if you read this. It is incredibly hard to pause your life for one year, have things stripped away you are good at, and have to start over in a weakened state. I feel that too well.

Will you hire a SCUBA certified lanky 21 year old who is tough and likes the outdoors a lot, can handle a firearm well, and can drive like a stunt man? Because I have always wanted to do this but my asthma and two knee surgeries held me from military service and I never have heard of somebody letting people do this without military background who isn't a native.

Thanks!

You as well! Enjoying the good times when they come is the best counter to it. Constant pain blows! Never know when you will get up and your knee wont want to sit in its socket or not. Whether it will hurt or not. But you are absolutely correct, I can take so much pain now it is unbelievable tbh. Especially in my legs. Resiliency is a trait you earn with this kind of thing.

You just don't fuckin stop, its kind of mental. Tolerance is way above say my dad or moms.

How do you get the same sense of movement in scenes when certain scenes are managed my different artists? I.E. Kubo and the Two Strings (fantastic movie btw I loved it, stop-motion is incredible), I know that Kuba and the pieces were made to a certain tolerance to be the same, but movement can be slightly different in my eyes to how artists move the pieces for their shots. How is this managed if it is a problem? I didn't notice ANY difference in movement types in this film or really any other stop-motions.
