About

They call you the human cannonball. Your act involves flying through rings of fire, bouncing through a trampoline course, and catching the trapezist in the grand finale. Today's pre-flight test fails dramatically, and upon inspection, your cannon has clearly been sabotaged. Unfortunately, it's too late to abort the launch. Can you fix it in time to catch the trapezist? Alex Rosenthal shows how. [Directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Cem Misirlioglu, Greg Chudzik].
