One of the important things to do was test the go pro on the dogs. We needed a dog who was big enough so the go pro didn't affect the way it went over jumps and was also comfortable wearing the device. Roy suggested a Border Collie called Charlie who was incredibly fast. The way we had fashioned the go pro was similar to how it was on Danny. This time however the loop was attached to the dogs collar. We were still a bit concerned that this may lead to a lot of movement from the camera so wanted to try it in 2 different places - one on the dogs collar facing front and the second on the side of its collar. The hope was that we would be able to attach it to a harness very securely but this would depend on sourcing a harness that would be suitable.
Here is the footage:
None of this footage would have been useable for our documentary so we are again very pleased to have done the tests shots. One of the centre's instructors found us a harness we could take away and work with the go pro on to make sure that it would be a stable shot. When we go back to redo the go pro shots next week we will have the harness ready to go and are very certain that there will be no movement on the camera as it will be securely places in the centre of the harness on the dogs chest.
