Hello!
I am an amateur scriptwriter (which means I haven't actually sold a script yet, so I still have a day job) and I am working on a script right now in which a helicopter plays a small role in the plot. And I'd really like to make sure I get my facts straight on a few items. So any help would be appreciated.
Anyway, here's my problem and my questions ...
... It is ESSENTIAL that my main protagonist fall off a cliff top. There's no other way for me to utilize a very specific and also very important fantasy element of the story unless it's a cliff top plunge. And, therefore, it's essential that my chopper pad be situated on top of a mountain (or a mesa) rather than on the desert floor below.
But ... would a chopper pad REALISTICALLY be located on a mesa and NOT on the desert floor? Is that just plain STUPID of me to place the chopper pad up top like that??
Is a mesa-top pad valid?
What can you guys tell me?
Thanks so much!
