| Description: | CUTIE Four year old boy demonstrates his prowess on a primitive surf board. "Here's a change from the grown-up Champions - little Bill (age 4 1/2)." Bill stands on it and is pulled through the water. M/S of the boy from the back of the boat - he looks very nonchalant. Large speedboat cruising past to left, pulling child on water-skis. Tracking shot moving along beside 4 year old Bill. At this distance it's apparent that he's not actually on skis, but standing on a sort of sled which is being pulled by the boat. Shot looking back at kid. "Bill is the Champion Junior Surf Boardist - and never minds a ducking.” Front diag. shot from boat alongside: Bill standing strong, w/ legs spread and braced. Bill speeds along then falls into the water. He wipes out and falls into water. Shot from boat heading away leaving Bill back in the water. Closer shot of Bill swimming to the boat. C/U of Bill with wet hair. MCU Bill, now safely back on boat, looks up and smiles. "Bill is a real boy - watch him "do his stuff!" MCU Bill on dry land (with dry hair cut in a sort of Prince Valiant do) poses holding up his arms to show his muscles, and turns around. C/U of Bill pretending to flex his muscles. He turns around and around for the camera. We can see his suntan - the shape of his swimsuit is clearly visible. Shot of Bill, someone tells him to pull his stomach in and stick his chest out I think - he does so. He sticks his chest way out. | |
