  1. Now that's what I call a well trained pooch. I loved the running while trying to speed dolly to keep up with Ruby. That's where a steady cam would come in handy. But you did an admirable job. I caught your shadow in the attempt :) The one thing that caught my attention was the radio playing in the background while your wife put Ruby through her paces However audio was really not an issue in this exercise. Well done Ryan.

  2. You caught me with the shadow, the shakes, and the music! I didn't really think about the music until I had done a few shots - it was kept really low so I figured it would be okay. And as you said the video was about the shots.

    Trying the dolly and truck with a running dog is definitely tough! This video is nowhere near pro quality, but I am glad that I got it done.

  3. Nice work and a very talented pooch. I heard Neil Young' Harvest Moon which will ensure that you have good taste in everything else. Well done throughout. The shakes will happen without a tripod so now you know. The head on shot was my favorite. The lighting shots were not dramatic enough for me to tell the difference. You may have wanted to go into a more controlled setting to show the three different stages.
