| Description: | ACROBATICS Pole balancing act - various stunts performed high above the ground. Wide shot looking at a man on top of a pole on top of a building, silhouetted against the sky. LS the man wearing only shorts or a loincloth somehow balances w/ only his abdomen touching the top of the wobbly pole. BG is shops, old buildings along streets in some Asian town - may be India. He slowly flips himself over so that he's upside down. Shot from ground of the man standing on one leg on top of pole (silhouette again). Back to closer shot of the young man climbing around the pole then back to wide shot again. Once again back to closer shot as the crazed guy now lies on the pole w/ the top touching his back, and spins around and around; can't tell for sure if he is spinning himself around or if the pole is turning. Next a guy in a kayak flips the boat upside down then keeps turning until it's right side up again, then continues rolling along like this over the water. MS same. Funny. | |
