Flyboys, a true story about WW1 American Airmen flying for the French, oh by the way, they had a live in lion.  This took months of training before we could shoot a single frame.  Chris was doubling for several of the main cast and the shots were all close up work with incredibly close interaction with the Lion.  Shaka, (the Lion) allowed Chris to join his family and the bond that was built was incredible.  You don't often get the chance to work on shoots like these.
