The last shooting day was held in Moscow, at Domodedovo Airport, although the bulk of the picture was shot in St. Petersburg. In the plot, the main characters of the film performed by Andrei Merzlikin and Yana Herzlikin, who play two unlucky thieves, have to go through a whole series of torments: they go down their heads from the stairs, fly out the window, burn, get shock, and on the head they constantly fall Heavy items. At the same time, the actors performed the complex stunt independently.
However, the filmmakers of the film were still four-legged performers of the main roles of Pirate and Yoko, which are not enough that they have acquired accounts in social networks, but during filming, they also enjoyed all the attributes of star life, for example, used the services of the makeup.
"They constantly watched the pirate and yoko in the frame were beautiful - combed them, straightened her ears, rubbed their eyes," tells the filmologist Alexander Stepanov. - sometimes it was necessary to use special wool linings, something like shigns, but for dogs. " On the shooting of the four-legged, the actors came on a personal car car, while the rest of the dogs were delivered to the playground in minibuses.
The Four-legged Main roles of Pirate and Yoko are the real stars of the film. .
"They traveled together in the back seat, where after filming slept without the rear legs," the filmologist continues. - In some episodes, Yoko starred in a beautiful blue jacket, which we did not shoot at the end of the filming. And when she fell asleep on the way home, pulling the hood on himself, we understood that we need to give her a good rest. "
Almost everything that the dog interacted with, there existed in two versions - the present and Boutaforskoe. So that the dogs are not distracted and fulfilled the necessary teams, rubber sausage and wooden cookies went into the course. Little not to distract dogs during filming, actors and the whole team was forbidden to interact with them for the scenes. "As soon as the four-legged actors appear, they cannot be neither stroking them, nor talk to them, nor feed. It is impossible to smoke or laugh at them, "Yang Tsaznik said. - Observe this ban was very difficult, because I love dogs from childhood, my grandfather was bred. And somehow at the age of a year and a half I climbed into the booth to one dog, which just sobbed. She confused me with her cub, and I lay down on my side at one and a half hours, I was licked with my legs to my head, and then two more weeks two dogs. "
Andrei Merzlikin completely born into the image of the unlucky thief. .
Even the director was not allowed to distract dogs on trifles. "I had one only day before the filming, when I could play with dogs, and then I have already treated them extremely seriously - as an actor," recalls Maxim Sveshnikov. - Our film is a look to the surrounding life with the eyes of dogs: we use the reception of a subjective camera, we have a lot of lower points of shooting and appropriate angles. This technique helps us to show that dogs have their own point of view on what is happening around. For example, they love to disappear at home when they stay alone: sleep in the host bed, wrapped in a blanket, consider photos and indulge in sad memories. And the strangest people in the world in the world is a dog hotel. In principle, we understand them. "
On the shooting of the film "Christmas tree shaggy" four-legged actors came on a personal car. .
In total, more than 25 dogs of various breeds, sizes, colors and ages were employed on the project. The biggest one - Leonberger named Christmas tree, which was already filmed in the "Christmas Trees-3": it helped the pirate fly to London. "In the first statement scene, my hero sells puppies on the bird market," recalls Andrei Merzlikin. - We were filmed in the real market, so the puppies had a whole shooting day to sit in the cold. Everything suffered from this. As soon as the shooting stopped, the actors of mass scenes immediately rushed to puppies to warm them up and at least somehow support. "
