Working with Animals

In our music video we plan to be filming some shots with rabbits and guinea pigs in relation to the positive elements of the song . when working with animals we have to consider their welfare. many animals are stressed easily, and although rabbits and guinea pigs are less susceptible to stress than reptiles it is still a factor to consider, so it is important to monitor how long they are filmed and handled, making sure they are comfortable. to aid this we are going to film them im an environment they are used to. also it is important not to work them to hard to avoid them getting tired or worn out.
we plan to only shoot a maximum of 5 minutes at a time to avoid stressing out the animals. in addition to this we will introduce the filming equipment to the environment prior to filming to give the animals time to adjust to the new objects.
