Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer could probably never get enough of the show. So, when I found this article from Blastr.com about some newly released behind-the-scenes footage from show stunt coordinator Jeff Pruitt, the hairs stood up on my neck and I knew I had to pass this along.
I had missed the show during its network run and was coaxed several years later into watching it by a friend who loaned me her box sets. I admit, I did not see the appeal at first, but by the second season, I couldn’t stop watching. The characters of the show deal with just as many real-life issues as supernatural, and although Buffy may not always make the best decisions in life, she, along with many other characters of the show, are pretty darn good role models for young fans. I think the show is good at exaggerating character flaws to bring about strong aspects of the story, and when you compare these characters to others in similar genres, Buffy and her crew still stand shoulders above some of the rest. The popularity of the show, and its reverence endures a decade after the show’s run was complete, so I’d say it still has some legs left for sticking around.
Little things like Pruitt’s camcorder footage reveal help keep Buffy’s world in the thoughts of fans. The YouTube video shows scenes from the perspective of Jeff and the production crew as they prepare for stunts, chat with the actors, and have a fun time doing what they do. But do not stop there, as Jeff has several other videos on his channel with more great footage. Jeff also mentions in the comments that he will be posting a lot more in the future. Check it out!
