Fallende Reifen - Roman Signer (CH)
I want to throw car tires from a helicopter onto a field covered with snow. The action would take place at the entrance to the town near a farm. I'll stand in the helicopter while an assistant hands me a tire from a pile. I will then throw it out of the helicopter.
I want to drop about 30 tires. That might mean we have to do two flights. I'm going to drop the tires vertically, but I suspect they'll spin and fall flat on the grass (FLACHAU). The action is to be recorded with video cameras, from the helicopter and from the ground.
