The Story:
On a
crash landing of the balloon, the balloon pilot falls out
of the basket, the burner stays on, a 10 year old girl
remains in
the basket which uncontrollably climbs to a dangerous altitude. A rescue team of the MEDICOPTER tries
to land on top of the balloon and to climb down on a rope into the basket. But the
rope breaks! The solution is to
jump out of the helicopter, land in the basket and rescue
the girl with a tandem jump. After 3 weeks on the set, we
had everything in the frame, completing 47 balloon flights
with 2 identical balloons, 9 tandem jumps with our 9 year old stuntman and 38 jumps with
the SKYLINE GmbH helmet camera.
