You partially turn your back to them so they are standing at a little over a 45 degee angle (approx.) to the line of your right shoe. Hold out your arms and then using your left toes (hidden by your right shoe and pant cuff push your body off the ground while you hold your right foot parallel to the ground. Practice this a bit, get the angle right and it looks like you float right off the ground! > 2. What�s going on with the woman. It's edited. It is not one continuous scene. There are two set-ups. You just have to work-out the logistics of it and in post production you edit it. > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
