Alto Knights (2025)

In the scene where there’s an actor on a rooftop with pigeons in a coop, prior to shooting, the pigeons were carried to set in well-ventilated carriers. The pigeons were individually placed into the coop and allowed time to acclimate. Inside the coop the pigeons have water and feed along with perches. The trainers were positioned immediately behind camera. After shooting the scenes, the pigeons were individually placed into the travel containers.

In the scene where the actress watches her husband on television and she has two dogs on her lap, the dogs’ caretaker brought them to set in their carrier. He put them on the couch with actor. She smoked the herbal cigarette intermittently and blew the smoke away from the dogs.

In the scene where the actor walks dogs out of the lobby, the dogs actually belong to actor who is walking them, so he knew how to handle them and their temperament.
