Finally, a deep breath, an always encouraging smile from Tim and, the strength to utter the words, "camera speeds and is…set." Take 85. We had our video…
…or at least one complete run. This first successful take was one where I didn't get hit, I didn't get injured, and everything was perfect -- but the band looked exhausted, like they were getting root canals. It was two in the morning after a long day, and looked like it. There was no way we could use that take. It was just too depressing to look at. We used the second of the three successful takes we got instead.
When you watch the video, you'll see a cut (mostly) hidden by a curtain as I'm being lowered from one floor to the other. I was being lowered by hand, and it took me nearly a half-second at the bottom to call out that I'd landed, get unsnapped from the harness and get moving again, all while the machine kept rolling.
That cut was only to compensate for that halfsecond delay. It was most definitely not to "create the illusion" of a single, unbroken take that we failed to pull off. No, we got all the way through it -- three times.
By the end, we knew that it had been a lot of work, but I don't think any of us really appreciated just how hard it was at the time. We were just exhausted. It took me weeks to stop dreaming about it.
