One continuous take in real slow motion, a long telephoto lens on a low camera in the dirt, in an outdoor rodeo arena on an overcast summer day: loose brown dirt, red steel chutes and fences, people in cowboy hats on the top rail, plain yellow banners with no writing, tall pine trees behind. Photorealistic, like a real rodeo videographer's clip, vertical 9:16. The camera follows the action and never cuts. The rider's face is large, sharp and turned to the camera most of the time.
WHO IS WHO:
THE RIDER = the person in [Image 1], in EVERY frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles), so their friends recognize them at once. The same face from the first frame to the last, also with gritted teeth and dust in the air. The rider wears a plain light blue western shirt, jeans, boots and a black cowboy hat pushed back so the whole face shows, with the hair from [Image 1] under it. If [Image 1] shows an animal, the rider is that animal, with its own face, fur and markings, upright in the saddle.
THE HORSE: a dark brown quarter horse with a white blaze, a saddle and a breast collar.
THE STEER: a brown steer with short curved horns, running fast and low through the dirt.
Shot 1 [0-12 s], one take:
[0-1.5 s] THE RIDER sits on THE HORSE in the box beside the red chute, leaning forward, eyes locked on the chute. The chute gate bangs open and THE STEER bursts out.
[1.5-5 s] THE HORSE explodes out of the box and gallops toward the camera, dirt flying. THE STEER runs right beside it on the rider's left. THE RIDER leans far out to the left over the steer, jaw set, eyes wide, face to the camera.
[5-8 s] THE RIDER slides off the horse onto THE STEER: the right arm hooks around the right horn, the left hand grabs the left horn, the legs swing forward and both boot heels slam into the dirt, throwing up a big spray of dust.
[8-10.5 s] THE HORSE gallops on past the camera and out of the frame. THE RIDER skids on the heels, plants the feet, twists the steer's head, and THE STEER rolls down onto its side in the soft dirt.
[10.5-12 s] THE RIDER kneels in the dust behind the steer, breathing hard, lets go of the horns, then looks straight into the camera with a big, proud grin as the dust drifts down. The crowd cheers.
Sound: none of its own; a hard-hitting rap track is put on afterwards, so the action carries the beat: the gate bangs open, the hooves pound and the dust explodes in time. No dialogue throughout the entire video. No background music.
Exactly one rider, one horse and one steer in the dirt, no famous person. Five fingers on each hand, four legs on each animal. A clean rodeo takedown: the steer is unhurt. Avoid: a camera cut, a second rider, a hat brim hiding the face, the horse and the steer merging, extra legs or horns, blood, injury, letters or logos on banners, shirts or chutes, text, subtitles, watermarks, morphing.
