Our boxer Furiosa has now appeared in two of our short films, and she deserved to be paid. Money wasn't really an option, but she wanted to see the ocean. So we drove 2000 miles to the nearest beach. Her reaction was worth every mile.
We made a short film with our dog and accidentally conditioned her to love cameras. Somewhere along the way, cameras started meaning playtime and attention to her. Now she starts wagging her tail and gets ready to roll every time one comes out. I posted a video and little story about the whole “camera phenomenon” here: https://www.flashmavi.com/furi-cameras
