Rooftop Leap — Freefall One-Take
A 15-second over-the-shoulder one-take stunt with one continuous geography: a rooftop sprint, a leap into freefall, a sideways bounce off a giant parade balloon over the river wall, a plunge into the river and a triumphant resurface to a cheering crowd. Replace the first frame with your own daredevil on a high edge and swap the landing and the finish.

One continuous handheld take, 15 seconds, no cuts: gritty 35mm film grain, harsh low sun, over-the-shoulder chase camera. The shaved-head woman in the red hoodie from the first frame stays the same person throughout.
Geography, fixed for the whole take: the warehouse stands on a riverside road. The parade marches along that road directly below, and the giant orange whale balloon is tethered over the road right beside the low stone river wall, with the wide grey river immediately on the other side of the wall.
0-2s: She holds the lens with a daring look, then spins and sprints across the gravel rooftop toward the river side, dust kicking up, the camera running right behind her.
2-4s: She leaps off the edge with full force; the camera dives with her into freefall, locked on her back, the whale balloon and the river wall rushing up below.
4-7s: Freefall. Wind rips at her hoodie. She drops onto the balloon's curved flank on its river side.
7-9s: The balloon squashes deep and springs back, and because she hit its sloped side the rebound throws her SIDEWAYS, not upward: a short low arc straight over the stone river wall, spectators at the wall ducking and pointing as she sails above them.
9-11s: She drops feet-first into the river just past the wall, a big splash, the camera plunging in right behind her.
11-13s: Underwater for a moment: bubbles, green light, she tumbles, then kicks hard toward the bright surface.
13-15s: She bursts up out of the water gasping and laughing, punching one fist in the air, while the crowd leaning over the river wall above her cheers and the whale balloon bobs behind them. The take ends on her grin.
Heavy breathing, crunching gravel, roaring wind, a rubbery boing, a deep splash, a muffled underwater rush, then the crowd's roar as she surfaces. Every move follows from the one before it. Coherent physics for fabric, air, impact and water, stable identity.
