Did this commercial for Wild and basically had a great time.
However, working with a polar bear = absolute nightmare. One thing nobody tells you is that they're actually incredibly violent animals. We lost four sparks and two camera trainees in the first hour. Plus, he was v difficult about catering - 'SEALS, SEALS, SEALS' was all he emailed us when we asked if he wanted the meat or veggie lasagne for lunch???
Would not recommend. But would strongly recommend the great people who helped me through it:
