| Description: | CAN YOU GUESS? The audience is invited to play a guessing game - strange shots are revealed to be of a gasometer. Construction of huge gas tank. "Here's a strange looking object .... try your skill and guess what it is ....." Shot from high above of wide open round or oval space; men walk onto it from all sides and stand evenly spaced out, each guy standing next to an object which can't be identified from this height. Each man starts walking around in a circle. Shot from ground: the workers are walking round in circle as each turns a big screw connected to a pipe leading underground. Wide shot metal framework of a huge cylinder. Shot from top of this structure: 2 workers are walking along on top of the framework - looks dangerous but they seem to have no trouble w/ balance. MLS daredevil worker sitting on a narrow bar; he flips over and hangs upside down by his knees, puts his gloves on while hanging there and then transfers himself to another bar & pulls himself up. In these shots can see buildings far below. Safety, energy, fuel | |
