This can be achieved by communicating with the animal, such as simple commands to the animal.
Another way is to put it through a favourite routine like a dog catching a Frisbee. Whatever the pet, they all have their "party pieces" that keep you amused. In most cases these acts can be captured on a still image.
With this in mind I am currently planning on filming an advertisement for KODAK's new digital camera. My main actor: a turtle.
Turtle from The Aquatic Centre, Edinburgh (UK)
This fellow is 'on-rent' as he costs a mere £150 to buy. Like wine, aging pushes up the price ;o)
And here is my concept:
===================
SCENE 01: INT. PHOTOSTUDIO - DAY
We see a TURTLE on display, tail, legs, and head hidden inside its shell.
Next, a HAND appears into view with a WHITE FEATHER, which tries to move the turtle's tail by its tickle.
However, the turtle does not respond.
SCENE 02: INT. PHOTOSTUDIO - DAY
We see the same TURTLE on display, tail, legs, and head hidden inside its shell.
Next, the HAND appears into view with a BRASS BELL, which tries to wake the turtle up by its sound.
However, the turtle does not respond.
SCENE 03: INT. PHOTOSTUDIO - DAY
We see the same TURTLE on display, tail, legs, and head hidden inside its shell.
Next, the HAND appears into view with LETTUCE, which tries to attract the turtle by its smell.
However, the turtle does not respond.
SCENE 04: INT. PHOTOSTUDIO - DAY
We see the same TURTLE on display, tail, legs, and head hidden inside its shell.
Next, the HAND appears into view with KODAK's New Digital Camera, which tries to capture the turtle by its lens.
The sound of a snapshot followed by a flash!
SCENE 05: INT. PHOTO - DAY
Image of the turtle fully unfolded and looking into the camera with a smile.
KODAK ... everybody included.
===================
As always I have done some research into the topic. Have a go at being a tickle yourself!
