Tether Catastrophe

Where it fits

Climactic disaster sequence illustrating the catastrophic failure of a space elevator and the protagonist's desperate survival.

How to use it

Replace the space elevator and station with your own futuristic structure or disaster scenario. Focus on a single character's perspective during a large-scale mechanical failure. Use slow-motion and silence to heighten tension before a sudden catastrophic event. Cut before or after to maintain pacing around the disaster climax.
