This segment contains one really long tracking shot, from puppy's eye level, running backward. Video camera still at the bottom of the "Poor Man's Steadicam". As noted in another segment, it was advantageous to have the camera's microphone away from my voice to prevent audio spikes on playback. The flip side to this issue is that the camera's microphone is close to my boots as I walk on the rocks, for a prominent "crunch, crunch, crunch" on playback. Lesson to be learned when camera is in the bottom position of the "Poor Man's Steadicam": walk on the grass! At the end of this segment, I had much better results in reaching down to smoothly zoom in.
