An Improvised Compromise...

It would be my luck that the very weekend I finally have the Black Magic Pocket Camera that the weather has turned extremely stormy. As all of my shots need to be filmed outdoors, this means that I will have to compromise and either change my shots or film at a later date. After trying to work out a way that I could film indoors instead, I was inspired by a scene from South Park:

I could film the back plate of a city - perhaps with a few people running in fear -  and film the guinea pig against a green screen to scale them up to be gigantic beasts. This could be a possible solution for me, because I am the proud owner of 8 guinea pigs and a few of them would be very co-operative for cucumber. 

After discussing this idea with a close friend, the idea has snowballed to what may potentially become a short-term project in itself. It was suggested that I could recreate this renowned Jurassic Park scene:

If I were to create this scene, I would probably cut out a lot of shots to bring the duration down to approximately 30-seconds due to time and cost restraints. Although I may not even go ahead with this idea, I used one of my guinea pigs as a model to create a logo for the potential spoof:

Online I found the actual shop that South Park used for the dinosaur costumes, however due to the time it would take to make a costume, international postage and the Christmas quickly arriving, they would not arrive until next year, so perhaps this idea is for another time.
