Super8 in Anti-Dogfighting PSA

[Uppsala BildTeknik]

i'm totally a workoholic

... so you enjoy working then. ;)

[mattias]

no, only occasionally. i *need* it though, plus i prefer to do the work i like rather than what the man says.

One assumes the PSA was directed at people who do care

ok, and they will do what to stop it?

Um, report it, if they know of it's existence in their community, like it says in the PSA?

if the commercial doesn't work on the people who either like fighting dogs or don't care, what good does it do?

Well, one assumes the PSA will "work on" people who do care.

...i know i'm oversimplifying...

No, you're chasing your tail. ~:?)

my nihilist world view

"Just pick a lift chair where you can get a nice tan and start scouting for a place to spend your day."

Spoken like a true nihilist. Man, you're really smashing it up!

i sure use a fair bit of playing stupid and acting the devils advocate to make things more interesting.

Things are plenty interesting just as they stand. What you're doing is making things more stupid.

sorry, i don't know what smashing up means. and i've no idea what a piece of my lousy journalism from 11 years ago has to do with anything. it doesn't strike me as either very nihilistic or not so i can't determine whether you're sarcastic or not. in short, i'm confused. :-)

Things are plenty interesting just as they stand. What you're doing is making things more stupid.

while i might agree with the latter, my strategy isn't foolproof, i strongly disagree with the former. "being cruel to animals is bad" is one of the most boring phrases i've heard in my entire life, in strong competition with "drugs are bad".

Hands up, who'd shoot a dog fight film for money? For free? For fun??

A lil' bit of topic: what film would you use?

Blood looked nice on Kodachrome, but Nigel doesn't like Kodachrome...

[mattias]

inarritu already did. he used vision stock and sometimes bleach bypass i think. i also heard rumors about some sections being ektachrome but i don't believe them. it just looks that way.

"The film's director, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, insists he was scrupulous about not harming any animals during filming. Despite realistic-looking scenes in which dogs leap at each other, fangs apparently primed to bite, a lot was done in the shooting and editing - "the same way I'd avoid hurting somebody in a car accident".
The dogs were wearing plastic muzzles - apparently clearly visible if you freeze-frame the film on video - while the ones that appear dead and bloodied were made up and drugged for 20 minutes at a time. The film's animal trainer is very respected in animal welfare circles, Gonzalez Inarritu says - "and he used his own dogs, so he cared about them".

yeah, so? i thought you asked if somebody wanted to make a film about it, not really do it. cinema lies, that's the beauty. :-)

btw if the title and storyline holds any truth my previous statement about these guys loving their dogs must be true, right? ;-)
