I'm going to use DV rack to replace the actress with a dummy right as a car would hit her. I'm going to shoot it from behind so hopefully a face won't be seen. any tips on where to buy materials and how to put one together quickly?
 
Im assuming you are talking about how to put togethor a dummy? Use a wireframe skeleton and just pad around the wire with cheap chair cushion filler found at home depot, etc. until you get the right thickness that matches your actors body shape. the head is a different story...Ive always had trouble with this, though their are several good help pages on the subject all over. When I needed a dummy for a film once, I ordered a $4 manican head from an online store and it worked fairly well with a wig. Good luck.
