the chance to think of the dog they took the shot to the small animal protection center
11 morning. When the reporter saw canal and Zang Yixuan, two people were working part-time in an advertising company. Speaking of the recent video on the Internet with a high click on the Internet, Zang Yixuan, a young girl after 90, was embarrassed: in October, a chance, she found from an online message that she had thousands of once vagrant dogs at the Taishan animal protection center in Shandong. "I like dogs and dogs, and want to take a shot to take a shot." Love little guy. " Unexpectedly, after deep tracking for some time, for this topic, she felt there was a lot of things to be excavated.
contacted volunteers, together with Zang Yixuan, Sun Xiaotong and canal, coming to the small animal protection center in the remote wall. The scene in front of them stunned them: dozens of dogs were squeezed together, big bully, and some even sick. After a simple understanding, they have found that the survival of these stray dogs has been greatly threatened: often hungry for a full meal, the normal operation of the whole small animal protection center has been greatly challenged. "We immediately decided to focus on small animal protection centres with lenses, and to reflect some social problems in this area by using the problem of stray dogs."
one day filmed, the girl who was full of dog hair and clean clothes had no cry and tired
in the three people's team, two girls were after 90, and especially clean. "They sit on the bus, they all wipe their seats several times with paper towels and wipes. "." Canal Shuai told reporters that the October Ji'nan, the weather is still very hot, a small animal protection center, dog dung stench, add in the mud, it is difficult to close close to the dog.
, however, these two little girls have no regard for this. For two consecutive months, at six or seven a.m. every weekend, three people will get on the bus and go all the way to the countryside. Canal Shuai told reporters that every time they used to shoot the whole day, they returned to the dormitory at seven or eight in the evening. "Clothes are covered with dog hair and smell all over the body." In this way, Zang Yixuan acted as director, canal Shuai took charge of photography, and Sun Xiaotong made subtitles. They recorded thousands of stray dogs inside, recorded the volunteers, recorded a lot of folk love, recorded the police to govern the stray dogs, and recorded the doctor in the pet hospital. "The material we filmed was not finished for almost three days and three nights."
the tutor made a 21 minute revision of the work several times for three months'
"our tutor has been paying attention to this work and opened a big and small discussion, not 10 times." Canal Shuai told reporters that their tutor, Lei Shuping, put forward a number of revisions, "the most impressive one, the tutor denied our early ideas, all the production can only start from scratch."
two months of shooting time, filming edge production, plus a month's time, special energy for post production, until the end of December last year, a 21 minutes and 12 seconds of the work, finally completed. "
the theme of the work is to reflect the embarrassing situation of the small animal protection center by the experience of the stray dog, and call on the whole society to pay attention to the stray dogs." Zang Yixuan told reporters that she agreed very much that "protecting animals is the protection of human beings", and that if there is a real day of stray dogs, the consequences will be unthinkable.
for this work, Mr. Lei Shuping says, although the theme is relatively clear, but because of some technical problems, there are still some unsatisfactory places to be dealt with in some details, "such as the lack of exposure, such as the existence of a manic point, such as the instability of the image."
for the name of the work, three people are also racking their brains. A sudden inspiration, canal Shuai came up with the word "alive", and the three people clicked together, and the film finally drew a successful conclusion.
next, the team is preparing for the screening of the short film. "Time is selected before January 20th, and now it is contacting the venue." The canal Shuai told the reporter mysteriously.
talking about the future, the team has its own ideas: we want to use the lens to record the life of the bottom of the community, to reflect the problems in a certain field with real and simple language, and to contribute to the development of the society.
