The American Humane Association has released its report on the safety of animals in the production of Order of the Phoenix, giving the film an “Outstanding” rating. The report describes in detail how each scene involving animals in the film was shot to ensure their protection. Here’s an excerpt:
“Several plates hanging on an office wall show moving pictures of cats playing. One kitten later ‘exits’ its hanging picture. All the kittens were deemed as healthy upon arrival by the safety rep. The kittens were given several toys to encourage play behavior and filmed in these natural actions. All kitten contact areas were disinfected to ensure the kittens’ safety, and noise in the area was limited. Access to the set and direct contact with the kittens was limited to only necessary crew and the safety rep. Disinfecting foot baths and hand sprays were used by all crew members on the set. Some of the kittens wore simple, comfortable costume pieces. To achieve the action in which the kitten exits its picture, a bait stick was used to encourage the kitten to move off camera. The kittens were rewarded with treats and hugs for their playful actions. All actions were performed in front of a blue screen and later edited in post-production.”
Wow, I would’ve LOVED to be in on that crew - playing and hugging kittens? Sign me UP!
