| Description: | A BATH WITH A VIEW Man goes ballooning in a bathtub. Silly film showing a man who is having a bath suspended below a hot air balloon! United States MLS man in swimsuit climbs into bathtub sitting outdoors; in BG a bunch of kids that look like the cast of Our Gang lean against a fence and watch. MS man sitting in tub which is now hanging from ropes and sort of swinging about. WS balloon rising, lifting tub with it as it goes up over parking lot, over roofs of nearby buildings, past steep hill in BG w/ city buildings atop it, up up to where there is only sky in BG. Air-to-air LS 2 men on the ring which hangs below the balloon itself; one stands up leaning back and hanging on ropes, the other is squatting across the ring frog style and constantly cranking his movie camera. They rise out of sight, then up comes the bathtub hanging beneath them; the man in the tub waves as it rises. Shot from aforementioned cameraman, looking straight down at the guy in the tub taking a bath. There's really water in the tub. Then a shot from just above the cameraman. MCU his arm cranking camera, tub below. Back to preceding view of tub man, now splashing water out of tub. WS balloon floating over city, then descending. WSs balloon now lower, continues to descend to the spot where it started. | |
