Hello Jeremy
Thank you for the advices. As you said horses can really freak out if they're not trained for film, that?s why all the lights were installed and we were ready to shoot before it came on the set. That way, when the horse came on the set, it has the time to ?make knowledge? with what was around and go where it wanted to go. All we needed to do was to turn around on our self to keep the horse in the frame. The most important was to keep calm and not make too much noise.
About the camera, we mainly used the 35,50 and 85mm. As the horse was at maximum 10 meters from us, we never needed a longer lens. For all the close up shots we used the same lenses, thanks to these small snacks biscuit we had on the set, the horse was calm and very cooperative, we only had to put some of them where we needed to have the horse and we did get what we wanted (for example: when the horse is almost ?kissing? the singer, it?s because it was eating the biscuits behind the singer?s head).
Anyway, it was a great experience and we learned a lot of thinks on this project?
We hope you like it?
