Construction scaffolding is very often used in the construction of film sets.
Sets, backdrops and sometimes even special effects are made from "multidirectional scaffolding" and the "tube-joint scaffolding."
The following are some films in which scaffolding played a key role: without these special scaffolds it would not have been possible to make these films.
Scaffolding used to make the film: "Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning - Part One"
One of the most spectacular scenes in the seventh film in the "Mission Impossible" series is the one in which Tom Cruise jumps with a motorcycle (and a parachute) off a cliff. The adrenaline-pumping sequence was actually done without stuntmen. How? Thanks to a huge scaffold.
This scene has already been recognized as "The greatest stunt in the history of cinema." (See).
This feat-decidedly dangerous-was made possible by years of planning. Realizing this single scene required Tom Cruise to train for months on the basic aspects of which it is composed: motocross and skydiving.
First, the actor prepared for the "big jump" by jumping with a parachute 500 times -- in order to gain the confidence to do it later under the "extreme" conditions envisioned in the script.
Later, at a quarry in England, a training ramp was built with scaffolding to replicate the mountain from which he would perform the real jump for the filming of the movie. On this ramp the actor trained by performing 13,000 motocross jumps. The quarry had previously been filled with cardboard boxes whose job was to allow the bike to be recovered intact after each jump. Unable to use a real parachute, the actor was secured to a cable hooked onto his back to prevent him from crashing. The purpose of this special set-up was to calculate the ideal conditions under which the motorcycle jump was to be performed: speed, distance, timing, movements of helicopters and drones with cameras for filming...

Once all the data needed to execute a perfect jump and shot was determined, the filming team for the film moved to Norway, to the mountain of Helsetkopen-a 1,200-meter high cliff. All the equipment and people needed to make the shot were flown by helicopter to the mountain's summit: engineers, technicians, cameras, materials to build the scaffolding that supported the ramp on the mountain's edge... It was an extraordinary job that required the coordination of several of people.

To complete the filming of the scene, Tom Cruise rode his motorcycle off a cliff six times in a single day, landing each time with a parachute.
A big round of applause to him, to those who organized and coordinated the work, and also to those who designed and built the complex scaffolding that enabled the realization of this scene. An almost ... impossible team effort!
