Films and Advertising
Where do I
begin.... So much of this has happened over a long period I find it difficult
to remember.
The first advert I
did was when Muffity Which Leo was a baby and Hills Science Diet wanted a puppy
for their advert. By the time I saw the advert he was 4 years old, but that's
advertising! Some of the things you just never see, ending up on the cutting
room floor most likely ????
We have also done
some advertising for the dog food labels Pedigree and Winalot. To my delight
the Cavalier has just appeared on the labels of Winalot. Those photographs were
taken at least 5 years ago!
It isn't always
easy to remember what happened, it is so easy to loose track. Pets in My Pocket
were fun, all the different puppies, although the Pets in My Pockets didn't
look much like cavaliers in the end!!!!!!!!!!!!! But that's life and
mouldings
I did see them once or twice on the television.
The Oil of Olay I
have never seen and many many more but from time to time I pick up a magazine
and there they are, looking back at me!
I think the best
surprise was at Crufts, the Millennium Year 2000 - Victoria's puppies on the
bill board above the stand for Pedigree Chum. I was then shopping, looking for
a calendar for a friend, and I saw a calendar and thought to myself 'that's a
nice dog'. My friend said, "Look inside, more Cavaliers". Lo-and behold! My
Cavalier photograph's taken by Marc Henry. On the front was Victoria's son,
Muffity Adorable Ben, Muffity Adorable Stacy was inside and Victoria's puppies
on the December page.
But the best was
still to come
.
The film
RESTORATION which won Two Acadamy Awards ! It's was based on King Charles II
and the Great Plague of London. I had so much fun in the making of this film,
it was hard work but the dogs just loved the fussing from the camera crew and
actors.
The actors where
Hugh Grant, Robert Downey Jnr. , Meg Ryan, Sir Ian McKellen, Sam Neil and not
forgetting myself and my great friend Sarah who was so much help on these long
but fun filming days. |
