When you are filming a big budget
movie featuring animals, the pets
traditionally come to the set with
plenty of past camera experience and
trainers in tow to make sure all goes
smoothly…
On a visit to a recent pet fashion
shoot, pictures from which are
featured on these pages, we
learned the following tips to
make filming go smoothly…
1.
*Allow the owners on set to
accompany their pets – that
way the animals feel
comfortable in an unfamiliar
environment.
2.
*Keep pet food handy and train
the animals with rewards – a
snack in return for a perfect take.
3.
*Also have pet toys around –
sturdy and durables ones
preferably – to keep the animal
happy and relaxed between
scenes.
Follow those three basic rules
and the pets will be as easy to
direct as the humans – probably
easier!
