Action Movie Kid

Action Movie Kid is an action web series created by Daniel Hashimoto. It contains his son, James, as the main character. Each clip is a short home movie of James playing, when something dramatic happens: explosions, death-defying feats, and other crazy stunts. The channel is known for the viral videos on the Action Movie Kid series, which all started from a clip called The Floor is Lava, where the child plays the game many kids of his age play (called the floor is lava), where they try to get across a room without touching the floor since "the floor is lava".

All of the dangerous effects and stunts are added in post-production by Hashimoto, who is a freelance visual effects arts and a visual development artist at Dreamworks Animation. He uses Adobe After Effects to make the short videos for YouTube.

Book Adaptation
There has also been a book adaption based on the web series since May 5, 2015. According to James in the book's trailer, he fights a gooey monster and claims to be a bedtime story. The book can be ordered off Amazon and on Kindle.
