Four men stand in the basket, one of whom holds a movie camera. High angle M/S of the balloon lifting off the ground. The men wave at the camera. Point of view shot showing what the cameraman in the balloon can see - people running underneath them. One of the men running along holds what looks like a large megaphone.

Aerial shot of a steam train moving through the landscape. High view of a large town. Balloon passes over a forest. "Chasing our shadow over the forest, with the safety rope dangling..." Shadow of the balloon is seen on the tree tops. Sand is thrown over the side of the basket. "Into the wide open spaces." Low angle shot of balloon. - Researcher Comments
