Behind the Scenes of The Dog House Australia: A Heartwarming Production
Television has the power to connect people with heartwarming stories. The Dog House Australia is a great example. The series focus is to find the perfect match between dogs and potential families, featuring emotional backstories that are powerful and engaging. Touching moments are plentiful and are covered discreetly and respectfully for both family and dog. Carefully planned production setups for behind-the-scenes and on-set stories are critical to ensure audience engagement. Our priority was to ensure smooth filming while respecting the animal shelter’s needs.
A Thoughtful Approach to Production
Filming in an active animal shelter presents unique challenges. We needed to capture compelling content while minimising disruption. That’s why we designed a flexible production strategy balancing efficiency with sensitivity to the environment.
Our team provided a full production facility, including:
Control Room Monitoring and Switching
Audio and Communication Setup
Scalable Multi-camera Solution
The filming schedule was structured around a limited number of weekly shoot days to minimise disruptions. This required a scalable solution that allowed our team to operate efficiently over an extended period.
A key component of our approach was the Sony ILME-FR7. We seamlessly scaled up the setup to include over 30 cameras on shoot days. Its compact footprint and remote control capabilities allowed us to capture authentic interactions without interfering with the natural flow of the shelter.
A Project That Left a Lasting Impact
Beyond the technical achievements, this show resonated with the entire crew. Working closely with the shelter’s staff and the dogs looking for new homes made the experience deeply rewarding. In fact, some of our team members were so touched by the process that they even adopted dogs themselves!
