>>4549192Horseback riding lessons would prove neccesary if they paid full attention to proper riding methods or they were going to shoot in full gallop and all of that.
I've let 4 year old kids ride ponies alone because these ponies were mellow as fuck, I just had to stay next to them to make sure they wouldn't fall.
Considering what the previous anon said about improper riding methods, that also isn't going to happen. Considering I doubt anyone of them is going to saddle up and ride along for any shoot on a fully running horse? Those people need as much riding techniques as those 4 year olds I put on ponies.
Searching for locations? Sure, that works fine. If you're going to use the actual locations instead of photoshooping in a waterfall and some elves and god knows what else. If they actually went to a forest with fireflies or waterfalls to shoot, I'd thumb it up, but right now they could've done it in a forest two miles away (or lord knows how far forests are in the US) and it'd provide the same exact result.
If they even used proper make-up methods, they'd only need minimum photoshoop to get rid of unpleasing facial features that make-up can't remove (baggy eyes, awful skin, maybe a slightly wrong colour on camera). Right now they're producing works that I could do better, except I don't have decent locations. Or an extensive load of photoshop.
