| Description: | BURLY WHIRLS! "ACROBATICS" The Brent Brothers acrobats. An acrobatic act called the Brent Brothers perform some gymnastic feats for our entertainment. United Kingdom CU the 2 men wearing matching leopard over-one-shoulder caveman suits. LS side view: brothers do acrobatic routine on stage. They start out with one guy (let's call him Big Bro) lying on his back w/ arms held up, supporting the other (Little Bro) who is doing a handstand on Big Bro's hands, and continue from there bending around every which way in stunts that require great strength and balance. MLS BB holding LB in his arms as if carrying him, LB holding BB's shoulders. (One guy in Tarzan suit holding another guy in Tarzan suit as he's about to carry him over the threshold or something.) Then BB starts whirling/throwing LB around himself, going over and under his torso, including near 360 degree head to toe spins on BB's back. They keep this going for a while at quite a fast speed. Zoom out same. MLS Slow-motion of some of this stunt. Stunts, acrobats, acrobatics, strength, whirling | |
