I do wonder how they managed it, but to me it looks like the posture of a cat being held by the scruff of the neck.

Awkward stock photos are awkward.

Alleged copyright violation is even more awkward.

(Y'all remember regretsy? When it first started up, the woman who ran it just posted photos, with no links or anything. She didn't want to be too in-your-face about mocking the craftspeople selling the stuff. It turned out they WANTED her to put up links so they would get more hits & sell more stuff.)

The camera is on a tripod, locked in place. The person walks through the shot holding the cat. There is another shot of equal length with no cat or person. The person is erased from the first shot. (this would be even simpler if they were wearing a "Chroma-key" color.) Then the two shots are superimposed. Where there would be blank space from the erased person you have the other shot to fill the space.

I do this all day long with still images. The chroma-key colors help to automate the selection and erase process, other wise it is time consuming.

Take a look at this:

The green is chroma-key green.

Daaammmmn, So nothing is ever really filmed on location anymore.

A friend of mine who is in Borneo right now just got bitten on the nipple by a baby orangutan.

squirell nutkin · 02-06-2010, 10:08 PM

Yeah, when they do that you are supposed to push their faces into the breast so it smothers them a bit. They pretty much are hard wired not to suffocate, so they stop the nipple biting thing right away. Shouting and pulling them from the breast is not very effective in the long run.

That's what we tell all the new orangutan moms. Your friend's an orangutan, right?

tell her mad props for breastfeeding though.

yeah, and pretty much it's just a matter of time before they do away with the actors.
