Total Dog Tampa: dog training videos
Two videos for Total Dog Tampa, a dog training business: how it came to be, and a spotlight on one of its trainers.
The job
Total Dog Tampa trains dogs. The job was two films, each built on its own interview with the training filmed around it.
Origins of Total Dog Tampa, 2:21, is how the business came to be. Trainer spotlight: Layla, 1:51, is a staff spotlight: Layla on her dog training philosophy, in her own words.
How it was made
Before the shoot we write a question sheet for each interview. On the day, the interview comes first, then the work going on around it.
In the edit, the interview is transcribed and cut on paper before it touches a timeline. Once its through-line is locked, the footage of the work and the music are built around it, and the film is graded by hand in DaVinci Resolve.
