For Jungle Book II there was a great deal of wire and prop removal as is the case anytime animals are involved. This particular shot started as a pan from the tree top down to the tiger bounding from within the jungle. The trainer is off to the right directing the tiger to the board on the ground. The camera was not locked down for this shot so substantial tracking was necessary. This shot required the removal of a C-Stand, the board and the trainers hands which came into view to the right of the tiger several times.

Another shot involved a bear and a black leopard, both with cables attached for safety. The bear does not move but the leopard runs across a leaf covered grassy area. As the slack in the cable is taken up the grass and the leaves are disturbed. This had to be removed along with the cable to make the shot work. This turned out to be a very tricky shot and before it went out the door, several BFTR artist lent their talents to it. Unfortunately I do not have the original raw footage.
