| Description: | STEEPLE JACKS Men abseil down a church steeple. Tilt up shot of pointed steeple with men climbiing it, incl one guy hanging from ropes up near the point; the workers look tiny from this distance. Pan up a bit showing man climbing rope. Closer shot looking up at the man climbing as if he's trotting up the steeple. Back to wider shot: 2 men are now up at the very tip; suddenly they both come sliding down ropes on 2 different sides. LS starting from base of steeple, man swings out on rope, around to the other side. Then he swings back again but this time he misses the base and goes swinging off into nowhere! Or at least downward. Titles seem to imply that this is a job but we don't see them doing any actual work, just climbing and sliding and swinging. | |
