jumble

hey lana, he sounds like he could be great. what we could do is phase the shoot so that we get the calm stuff early on when he's still relaxed and the cutaways to him woofing and being energetic afterwards. do you reckon he'd be able to sit still a couple of times for about 30 - 40 seconds? mutts are awesome in my opinion anyway, and i'm sure the crew would be giving him heaps of cuddles as it is.

Hey guys, Will here, That would be incredible! However, we are shooting on the 3rd - 5th of October (just over a week from now) and Jumbles very rarely barks. (Though she has a lovely deep woof when she does) If you still think you could do it you'd be a life-saver though! Rest assured, I would never work with someone who didn't have the utmost care for their dog's well-being. I'm the guy who can roll his eyes and yawn through the scariest of horror films but the moment they show a hound in danger I start shaking like a leaf. We've been very diligent throughout casting to make sure our actors are 100% dog-savvy. I'd be happy to do that! I think it would be a nice little contrast. I see what you mean, but it's more that I really like their big heads. They read incredibly well on camera, they have fantastic eyes, plus they're really good at that pulling that kind of inquisitive "I'm really really smart, don't you wish you knew what I'm thinking" face, which is pretty important for this role. That said, I'd be equally happy to cast a staffy or a labrador (preferably black though, we need a dark coloured dog for contrasting tones against the light backgrounds), or any other medium to large sized dog that has an intelligent and inquisitive look. I really really want to stress the point that I don't want to exploit anyone. I wrote this script because I love spending time with dogs and I thought it would be really interesting to work with dogs on film.
