Yesterday saw me doing a very interesting interview with CNN on DJ the Puppy and Operation Puppy Love. Interesting because it was done by phone, but the video work was to be done by me. Me being me, I could not do just the normal-type thing. So, I talked with Holly out at Wolf Park, then talked with Pat, and then abused my friends by getting Pat, Gale, and Monty (with Dana on call if/as needed) to help do the interview from Wolf Park with the main pack out on the ice of Turtle Lake. With luck, this will get some nice publicity for Wolf Park and maybe even in time for Winter Wolves.
The set-up was somewhat surreal to me, and the wolves/location were a bit surreal to the folks at CNN. I’ve just finished uploading the video files to them, and thought I would share with you a bit of how you prepare for doing something like this.
The hardest part, aside from being able to actually understand the person doing the interview (voice came across as badly overmodulated), was keeping my balance when trying to stand up. At the end, I was glad for Gale’s help as my knees had become one with the ice—you can actually hear a ripping noise from each on the video. Huge thanks to Pat, Monty, Gale, and Dana for their help on this. Some more wolf videos are coming too…
