Detailed Animal Action Report

Guinea Pig Action:
Celia (Ashley Gerasimovich) gets a guinea pig for Christmas. The new pet is sitting watching the young girl play with a stuffed animal and later is wearing a costume. The actress was instructed on the handling of the guinea pig and only necessary cast and crew members were allowed on the closed set. The costume was custom made to assure the animals comfort. The guinea pig was placed on its mark and retrieved afterwards.

Ant Action:
Ants crawled on a jelly sandwich that was smashed on a glass coffee table. Some jelly was smeared on the table and bread was placed nearby. The ants were placed on the table and naturally crawled on the food. The ants were retrieved afterwards.
