And why will probably try to dio and that if they come towards us that's okay, go ahead go ahead let him go let him go let him go where's the booth okay let's get let's actually want to shop where they're holding poppies everybody's in focus um we're kind of done that shot so so I'm just changing my um aperture so that my depth of field is better when I have multiple subjects so now I moved up to five six and I wasn't up for it okay you guys hold up will they let you hold him? Will they let you hold on? Uh ah there. So can you guys look here uh perfect should I find out if cookie now is afraid of the tickle stick oh, here we go. You know what let's try this. I have an idea. Could you guys will you guys lay on the ground? Um can I get this ladder? I think let's try shot with the boy's laying on the ground looking up and we're not all the puppies around. Um I'm thinking I could be an hour I'll need at my other lens too, so I'm going to switch to a wider angle lens so I'm envisioning kind of the shot where you have the puppies looking out but I'm thinking all the puppies on top of the kids running around and I'm just looking down on them when they're looking up so um we can just be or what I think so I'm thinking all puppies actually so where do you everything is the most stable whichever angle we're just gonna have people hanging on to this but I have a couple of students to hold the ladder and you want probably need that yeah I'm guessing up that'll work this is gonna be so fun so actually you guys they're gonna lay on your backs on were just got all the puppies be all over you that is gonna be so fun thanks thank you thank you matt for making tryto boss okay this karan are you out here at some point I saw a really cool white rock is that supposed huh how can we use it okay okay I just don't know if it was accidentally in the trunk or we could use out so okay so we're going to try to get all the puppies all puppies no no no we'll just use the grass right now yeah I mean I don't know but I guess it depends you know we can use the rog if it's yeah I don't know how big it was waken try it yeah yeah let's try it well you know what can we just switch the angle so I'm like it makes more sense to me yes rather than like leaning back as long as you still have it yeah, yes that feels much better waken do it I don't even mind it depends maybe we can try the grass first guys you know what I'm going to show you not miss vicky show you what I'm thinking you know will be so fun I think this would be so cool coming look this can you guys lay high my independent of the latter because the light can you guys like back you count how many do you think you can count here let me put you this you think you can count how many leaves there in that tree I'm gonna have you actually lay the otherway can you put your feet up mia's on your brother whoa yeah and then you know it's gonna happen we're gonna get your puppies by you can we get your heads closer?
