Behind the Scenes - Pawdele - Digging in the Deep

Come here handsome. Good boy. I know. Let me help you up. You're a good boy. I know. You say, what are all these fuzzy things all about? We're filming Adele's Rolling in the Deep and Pete is playing a really important part. That he is a broken hearted dog that his owner is two-timing on him. And so it's going to make him very sad and he's going to express his sadness in a very unique Pete way. You know, the howl is something that he just learned to do naturally. It's really the pitch of our voice, I think, and it gets him really excited, and he can't help himself but do it. So when you go, yay, it makes his ears go up and him howl. So we'll demonstrate. Petey? The concept for this video is the owner is going on a date, and the dog is quite jealous of the owner going out with Matt, and so the dog is going to just, you know, just have and be happy in their relationship if possible. The pedigrees are something that we decided that it's really fun. People love music, people love animals, and so combining them, it's like... It's been a totally win-win situation, and it's been really fun to do because it's all the pop songs that we all like, and then you put dogs to it, and how can you not love it? The most important thing when doing a pedigree is taking the melody and finding the parts of the melody that you can replicate by using dog howls and that are going to be consistent with the song so that people can recognize it. It really is just... Just taking a bark and moving around the sounds in the plug-in until it matches the correct frequency. In the Adele song, there's a lot of longer sung notes that she sings. And for that, we had to implement howls. So in this particular song, the new obstacle has been taking howls and auto-tuning them so that they work in the context of recreating Adele's vocal melody. Chance is going to be the drummer for the piece. He beat out Billy, the little Chihuahua that we originally had casted because of his size. Chance has actually been in probably every single one of our videos. He was the love interest for Corgi Ray and then Dogtie, is that how you pronounce it? Dogtie. And now he's going to be the drummer for this video. He's an awesome dog. The actor that Jack played in this music video was, he was the ninja in the room. And I'm not exactly sure what it represents in the video, but he was quite good at it. Okay then. And we have that on camera. So he doesn't really want to act anymore. Jack's kind of fed up with what he's doing. And that's that. There's a sequence where there's about three, four, five hundred glasses. Instead of having glasses, we have dog bowls. And so we went out and bought twenty different dog bowls. And so it was my job to make twenty dog bowls into about six hundred of them. Once we have all the bowls in place, I take the photo into After Effects and I begin to comp in all the water. Tell us what you guys want. We would love to do, you know, another one. We're doing Adele because that's what you said you wanted. But it's usually what ones are really popular because they're the most fun to do. Oh, and this is Izzy.
