Was it really 50 feet? That does sound like fun. I'd try it if I
thought I had a good chance of avoiding injury, but I'd want to see you
do it first.
Once in a student film I had someone jump off a bridge to a dry river
bed about 6 - 8 feet below. I did pad the ground a bit and I was sure
to do it first to show how to hit the mark and avoid injury.
Unfortunately the girl was slightly injured anyway. I never could
decide whether ot not to feel guilty.
It was a nice shot... she jumps off the bridge, out of frame, then rises
into frame, sopping wet, out of a bathtub... but sadly the (completed)
film was destroyed by accident over the summer break. That film
contained my favorite quote from Breton:
"We must surmount the depressing notion of the irreparable divorce of action
and dream."
