Simon The Stunt-Peg

Simon the Stunt-Peg first came about in 2009, he was found by Thomas "Harry" Haley & Jim Hopkins. Simon is a wooden tent peg, but has found fame starring in his own short films that are filmed and produced by Haley and Hopkins, with help from other friends and family. In 2009, Simons first year, the very first film Simon starred in was a tale of him becoming a 'Daredevil' in a shopping trolley. It was titled as: Simon the Stunt-Peg and His Shopping Trolley Of Certain Death. This short film was filmed in a remote location in oxfordshire, Simon was strapped into a trolley and then pushed down several hills with differing gradients, all the different shots were captured on camera and then brought together by Haley and Hopkins after the event. It was then released on Youtube where it failed to capture the worlds attention as the producers thought it would, thus only achieving a low amount of views. However Haley & Hopkins persevered and then produced a trailer for a film double-header in 2010, this would include: Simon the Stunt-pegs Super Special Space Flight Preparation, and also: Simon the Stunt-Pegs Super Special Space Flight Attempt. There is also speculation linking the stunt-peg with two more short films, however this has yet to be confirmed.
