| Description: | Strong guy "walks up walls" in between 2 houses, entertaining the neighborhood. United Kingdom MS handsome bodybuilder poses sucking in his gut. Then turns toward camera and clinches his fists while holding his arms curved. MCU the man smiles at camera, hands clasped behind his head; he makes his biceps jump up and down. MS John in T-shirt and sweats poses w/ crowd of ordinary folks from the working-class neighborhood in the street behind him. He gets into a position braced between 2 buildings c. 6-7 feet apart, & starts to "walk" up. LS same: he walks up walls between 2 buildings as the crowd watches w/ great attention. Pan upward w/ him. Wider shot showing the man stretched between the 2 bldgs, up at level of 2nd floor, and the crowd below all gazing up at him (wondering if he's going to fall, no doubt!). But he walks back down. The same way he got up. MS when almost to the ground, he turns sideways & poses. LS same. Then he climbs the rest of the way down, stands facing cam. | |
