Hello! I am very interested in owning wolves just like you. I don't know the specifics and I am saving up the money, but do you have a general idea where owning wolves is ideal? I would not want to raise it anywhere where they would be too confined and I would need to familiarize myself with the behavior of wolves, of course. Thank you!

Dear Zoltan

I wanted to enquire about filming with Wolves for the forthcoming series of Merlin.

Our opening sequence features wolves and we would be looking to get the following shots on snow:

1. Top shot of wolf guarding unconscious person
2. Top shot of wolf looking submissive
3. Running shots - left to right
4. leap up towards camera
5. howl up to camera
6. running right to left - this will then be a composite shot of wolves pulling our actress on a sleid.
7. Growls/snarls etc.

It would be great if you could let me know if this would be possible, how long do you think we would need to achieve these shots, could you recommend a local camera operator, very importantly when we would need to shoot to guarantee that we can get the shots in snow and of course an idea of costs.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Sara

Hi the team ! Sorry for the long time... The title in French is "Quand les loups font leur cinéma". Bye.
The dog who was playing in Moonacre was a leonberger.

Rutger Hauer hunts for wild boars
In the last work of the famous Italian director Renzo Martinelli it is Rutger Hauer playing Frederick Barbarossa who, whilst working on occupying Milan, takes some time to hunt for wild boars in the forests.
