🎬 BEHIND THE HERO — Episode 3

"The Camera Crew: Running Into Explosions Since Forever"

COLD OPEN

EXT. CITY STREET – DAY

A MASSIVE EXPLOSION rocks the area. Smoke, debris, dramatic lighting.
A Camera Operator (fight-scene team) sprints toward the explosion, not away.

Cameraman #3: (shouting) Left angle! Left angle! The hero's about to kick!!

INT. STUDIO — DAY

Rory stands next to four labeled helmets and a boom mic sitting off to the side.

Rory: Today... we meet the people behind every iconic shot you've ever seen.
Not the sound crew.
(glancing offscreen)
No—seriously, we're not the sound crew. Stop giving me broken microphones.
We work beside them... and sometimes under them when they drop things.

He taps each helmet.

Rory: We've got four teams.
Epic Frame Crew — dramatic rooftop, sunset, wind-blowing shots.
Everyday Life Team — heroes brushing teeth, failing at cooking, etc.
Close-Up Unit — emotional tears, glowing eyes, tragic eyebrow twitches.
Fight Scene Squad — the people who risk their lives for cool slow-mo.

Rory: Today... we meet the people who chase explosions, run into collapsing buildings, balance on rooftops, and occasionally get set on fire. (leans in) All for the perfect angle.

 In the background Cameraman #3 runs toward a building that's about to collapse

Rory: Let's go meet the lunatics—
(coughs)
—the professionals.

INT. INTERVIEW ROOM

Three fight-scene operators sit down. They look tired. One has ash on their face.

Rory: What's your job exactly?

Cameraman #1: Get the shots during battles.

Cameraman #2: Dodge projectiles.

Cameraman #3: Pretend I'm fine when I'm not.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXT. ALLEY – DAY

A giant villain slams into a wall. The fight cameraman swings on a cable to get a mid-air shot.

Cameraman #3 (VoiceOver): We are absolutely not paid for this stunt work. But someone's gotta get the angle.
