Animal Miracles
PAX USA and Life Network (39x60 min.)
Gordon Carson has finished directing
the reenactments on his third season of the series Animal
Miracles (entitled Miracle Pets in the U.S.).
This collection uplifting stories that will touch
your heart. The series chronicles amazing instances of animals
protecting and saving humans, by means of extraordinary instincts,
survival wisdom, maybe even mystical means.
Animal Miracles is hosted
by seven-time Emmy nominee Alan Thicke. The show is produced by
Peace Arch Entertainment with Executive Producer Blair Reekie, and
Series Producer Barry Gray.
Gordon Carson discusses character motivation
with a guest star.
"Animal Miracles is
by far among the toughest directing assignments Ive ever had.
I really feel for the actors. It takes an incredible amount of concentration
to block out the constant distraction from the animal trainers calling
out 'Stay, come, stand, speak, sit
'
"As a director you must possess
a tremendous amount of patience and flexibility. The animals come
first, and you must always appreciate their needs. Eventually you
do get the shot, and its certainly gratifying when you hear
a resounding chorus of trainers cooing good boy or good girl
and you see the animals vigorously wagging their tails in response." |
