Performance Rigging by NMT


Those breathtaking aerial stunts that define modern cinema looks easy when the scene plays put on the big screen.


The reality is very different. The lifts are complex. Safety is paramount but yes, that’s us working behind the scenes.


NMT hoists performers and stunt artists with uncompromising safety standards while securing wire systems for spectacular aerial choreography. We’ve delivered the impossible on some of the biggest movies out there, including Mission Impossible.

Our specialised team are used to the big aerial movements that allow performers to literally defy physical limitations.


But safe in the knowledge that every harness, every cable, every lift point is engineered for both spectacular performance and absolute safety.


From gravity-defying fight sequences to elegant aerial ballet, we create the infrastructure that transforms human performers into flying artists, delivering movie moments that stay with audiences long after the credits roll.

What separates us from the rest?

Uncompromising Safety: Every rigging system is engineered with multiple redundancies and tested beyond industry standards.


Complex Choreography: Our team works directly with stunt coordinators and directors to engineer wire systems that serve the story, not limit it.


Proven Track Record: From action sequences to intimate aerial moments, we’ve rigged the stunts that amaze

Precision Engineering: Millimetre-perfect positioning and whisper-smooth operation ensure performers can focus on their craft while we handle the physics.

Whether you need to suspend performers 200 feet in the air, orchestrate intricate aerial combat sequences, or create the illusion of weightless movement, NMT’s performance rigging transforms the impossible into the unforgettable.

JD Ambridge, NMT’s Joint Managing Director, said:

“Safety and spectacle go hand in hand when it’s done right. So when we’re rigging performers for those aerial sequences, we’re not just moving bodies through space, but ultimately ensuring everyone goes home safe. That’s what separates professional stunt rigging from anything else – the absolute certainty that spectacular and safe go hand in hand.”
