I found these photos a few years ago while doing a search for rabbit pictures. These were from a fashion shoot using rabbits as props. At first you get the impression that this had to have been a case of photoshopping, but there was a whole series of photos showing the process of getting the rabbits and the model just where the photographer and associated personnel wanted for the desired effects for the shoot. I was delighted to see so many bunnies in one place, but I'd hate to have been the rabbit wrangler. I lost the documentation on these photos, so I'm unable to give proper credit at present. I'd like to find it because I'd like to view the behind-the-scenes photos again. If I track it down, I'll post it later. In the meantime, enjoy the bunnies.
These pictures remind me of a dream I had shortly after we got our first two rabbits back in 2001. I went to feed the buns and as I opened the cage door, the two rascals escaped--along with innumerable other bunnies! It was like those clown cars in the circus where so many clowns just keep coming out of the tiny car. In desperation, I watched as rabbits hopped all over the place and I wondered how I was ever going to catch them. I got the bright idea to get large butterfly nets and swoop them up. I guess it worked--I woke up before I saw the end results. The last thing I remember was having all the family members help me frantically chase rabbits all over the house and yard with long-handled butterfly nets.
Love the bunny pix Melissa. How wonderful that they were all there in reality but how on earth did they stop them from running amok and escaping? I have seen those chicken, squirrel and fox adverts on TV but I think they must be photoshopped as the chickens are in their thousands and wandering all over a city.
ReplyDeleteI really don't know how they managed to keep them mostly in one place. They must have been a bunch of pretty gentle, laid back buns. I like the one bunny in the far right of the first photo who is headed all out for something off camera. I do wish I could find those photos again. It was neat to read about the process.
ReplyDeleteFun! We used to use a laundry basket to catch Jumpy and Floppy, but when I'd sit on the ground Cocoa would always come close to me and let me pick him up. Miss those rabbits!!! :)
ReplyDeleteA laundry basket. What a good idea! Matilda and Gabby are just the worst for letting me catch them. Once they're out in the play pens, they don't intend to go back inside. I'd considered actually getting a large dip net for fishing to snatch them, but worried about hurting them. The laundry basket sounds like a great solution. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteoh wonderful, this reminds me of an episode of Father Ted, (did you get Father Ted over there?) There's an episode where Father Ted's home is invaded by an ever increasing number of rabbits.
