 (ARA) - Does your dog have star potential? Does he love to entertain friends and family with his amusing antics - like running in circles to chase his tail, jumping up and down when dinner is served or howling to his favorite song? Many dog owners enjoy capturing these memorable moments on video so they can share them with other dog lovers.
In some cases, the videos can even make their four-legged friends famous. For example, ALPO brand dog food is searching for the biggest "meat maniac" in America - the lovable, everyday dog who has the most entertaining, humorous and memorable way of showing his excitement when dinner is served. The winning dog will be the new face of ALPO, appearing on millions of cans of dog food and in national print advertising. Dog owners nationwide can visit AlpoRealMeatMoments.com to submit a video of their pooch's meat maniac moment.
The following are a few tips from the experts at ALPO to help capture your dog's star potential on video:
Make sure Rover is comfortable on "set." Before you press the record button, give your furry companion the chance to become familiar with the video equipment, so he doesn't run away. Let him sniff the camera and reward him with a treat for good behavior.
Give Fido creative license. Allow your dog to act natural. Capture his unscripted, real, spontaneous behavior when dinner is being served, rather than a trained trick. Allow him to showcase his transformation from everyday dog to meat maniac in his own unique way.
Include audio. Think beyond images. Don't forget to capture the sounds that will help tell your meat maniac's story, including any barking, howling, grunting and whining in anticipation of the meaty meal.
Turn your spotlight on the star. Lights add depth to any scene. Turn on all of the lights in the room and open the curtains to increase available light, particularly if your dog has a dark coat.
Use a handheld technique. Take the camera off of the tripod and move with your dog to best capture his humorous mealtime moves. Look for unusual angles, such as ground-level shots to add interest.
Now through July 27, dog owners can enter the ALPO Real Meat Moments video contest. Joy Behar, dog lover, comedian and co-host of the national talk show The View, will help select the winning pooch who will be the new face of ALPO. To submit your video or for more information, visit AlpoRealMeatMoments.com.
