Hey Rayne, I’ve sketched out a stunt that needs flawless timing and tactical precision. Let’s map it out so it’s safe, dramatic, and wins the audience.

Sounds good. First, define the exact sequence: what starts, what follows, and what ends. Lay out the timing for each element in seconds—no ambiguity. Next, map every risk: fall zones, equipment failure, audience proximity. For safety, add redundancy: a secondary anchor, a backup rig, and a quick-release trigger. Dramatically, build suspense by revealing the most critical moment only when the audience’s attention peaks—use a pause or a cut. Finally, rehearse with a full run-through and a “stop” cue for every team member so no one has to improvise. Stick to the plan, keep the timing tight, and the crowd will be impressed.

0 – 3 seconds: lights dim, loud countdown “3…2…1…Go.”
3 – 8 seconds: performer leaps onto harness, cable pulls taut.
8 – 12 seconds: controlled drop, mid‑air stunt (spin).
12 – 13 seconds: dramatic pause, lights flash, audience focus peak.
13 – 15 seconds: critical moment – high‑speed freefall, release of secondary anchor.
15 – 18 seconds: rapid ascent onto landing pad, secure grip.
18 – 20 seconds: final pose, lights return, applause cue.
Risks:
- Fall zone: 5 m radius around pad, marked with netting.
- Equipment failure: main cable, secondary anchor, quick‑release trigger.
- Audience proximity: 3 m from performer’s path, monitored by spotter.
Redundancy:
- Secondary anchor wired to main, automatically engages if main fails.
- Backup rig with spare cable within 2 m.
- Quick‑release trigger on performer’s harness, manual release by stunt coordinator.
Suspense build: pause at 12 seconds, silence all but spotlight on performer, then unleash critical moment at 13 seconds.
Rehearse full run‑through: each crew member says “stop” exactly at 8, 12, 15, and 18 seconds. No improvisation allowed. Keep timing tight, audience will be impressed.
