  • How exactly did you guys get those great shots of on the back of the dog? I liked it a lot!
  • We attached the camera to a makeshift monopod and ran behind her, while directing her at the same time, haha.

    indeed, i must add that i ADORE the dog, i should say that she's one of the most beautiful dogs I ever seen!. such eyes....

    I have a Jack Russel mix that looks just like her. Do you know what breeds she is? Also what did you film this on and what lenses? Great ending!
  • She's mixed with more than we know. Her mom looks like a giant Jack Russel and her dad kinda like a Boarder Collie but Bub's colour.

    I can only classify her as a true "Pothound"

    Hey, the color grading is just awesome. Did you use the cinestyle picture style or the neutral settings?

    How comes your footage has nearly no noise?
  • Neutral, as for the noise shot on a low iso always!

  • Ellis Spiezia plus 1 month ago
    Wonderful!!! So creative.... excellent color grading.
    Would also love to know the camera used and any production notes you are willing to share.... Bravo
  • Thank you Ellis

    Used 2 7D's. One with a wide and the other with a prime.

    All the set ups were super fast because we found out early, that Bubbercin while very obedient, gets bored really quickly. So we had to get everything in the first 2 takes. A Slider is also a budget filmmakers' best friend.

    BTW, your Mini Moto vid is adorable!
  • Ellis Spiezia plus 1 month ago

    You really executed so well working with a pup. Also really appreciate the audio and work put in... makes the difference.

    Merci pour ce film et votre acteur principal (formidable). Enfin un vrai travail abouti. Cette promenade aurait été plus belle si plus simple dans sa forme. Je trouve le montage un peu trop "professionnel" (confirmé par le générique final). Du rythme, de l'inventivité, un peu d'émotion, je comprends. De la poésie, j'aime. Les effets d'images un peu répétitifs nuisent un peu à la liberté du film et surtout à celle du "personnage" très attachant.

  • The Film Artist plus 1 month ago
    Hahaha, your too modest, I just love all the atention to small detail like the granny dropping her purse or the pigs head, you also gave it a raw and real feel to it. I was really sad at the end, for a moment at least. I love Bubbercin what a star! :)

    Hello, excellent stuff! What's the color grade you used?
  • Shot Neutral, then mixed and match various adjustment layers with transparencies of different Colorista profiles. I just built on the look until I got something I like.
