Taking the stress out of filming with kids.
Baby Wrangling!
Our team of wranglers offer a unique service to the film and television industries on shoots and productions requiring the performing skills of children.
In America, 'baby wranglers' are recognised as skilled professionals who are a vital part of the film unit. In Europe the concept of baby wrangling is very new, but production companies and agencies are starting to realise the vital role a baby wrangler can play in making a successful commercial or programme.
Filming must fit in with the child's schedule. It sounds obvious, but this is often overlooked. There are also some tricks of the trade to keep children animated without wearing them out like making sure there is a supply of their favourite toys.Peter Robertson
We provide expert assistance and direction at all stages of the production including:
- Consultation during pre-production
- Test films
- Casting and the shoot
Working closely with the director, the expert team has the ability to get exactly the right action and reaction out of each child for every shot, freeing the director to concentrate on the rest of the scene.
To make the child 'perform' (for Sainsburys' own-brand nappy advertisement), Britain's only baby wrangler Peter Robertson was employed. His job was to hold the babies' attention during filming. To do this he used a variety of tricks including blowing soap bubbles and growling into a microphone.Today Newspaper |
