Uh, yes.

It says here, "pigs running."

These pigs won't work.

I was thinking we'd

start with a bit more bang.

It took me a lot longer than

expected to get these pigs.

- No elephants? - No.

- Monkeys swinging?

No...

men wrestling, women jumping?

So this is all you found?

Yes. They were hard to get.

Nobody wanted to give us pigs.

I thought they'd please everyone.

Tadd, you're on electrics.

- Rondinella, you've been

promoted to subjects. - Yes, sir.

Ooh, fired.

You'll get 'em next job, Tadd.

Here.

Get ready, piggies.

You're going for a run.

All right, let's set the plates.

Let's get these subjects

moving into position.

We have to move quickly.

I'll take that.

Are we set?

Electrics?

Plates are set.

Good.

Pig, pig, pig, pig...

Go.

No, no, no!

Reset.

Get them.

I don't think they like carrots.

Should we switch to cabbages?

How about "man chasing

a pig with a stick"?

Let's go again.

Let me try.

Let's get this.

Come, come, come, come.

All right.

Here we go, this way...

Go!

Did we get it?

Plates weren't set, sir.

All right, no more animals,

we need a human before

the end of the day.

It's perfect, Flora.

It's you.

We'll take it.

Wait.

Just... pull it back up for

one second, my flower.

Please.

Stop.

Slide it off again.

Yes...

Can we photograph this?

- I'm going to come model this...

- No, Flora, this is not a study.

I wanted to see you. Now, just slide

it off one more time, up and down.

One more time, just...

Eadweard, the moment is gone.

No...

Flora...

It's still not right.

We'll take it.

Who is she?

Tadd's fiance.

She's a kid.

Yeah, I think she's his cousin, too.

Cousin?

Second cousins, maybe.

What will her action be?

"Woman walking."

So moving slower than a pig.

Let's get a practice first.

You are number two.

- I'm not sure... - No, I'm

telling you, you're number two.

She's number two. The pigs were

number one, she's number two.

It's just a few paces,

when I say go, you go from

there to there. Simple.

Easy.

Standing by.

Plates set.

Are you ready, number two?

Go.

No, stop!

Stop.

What are you doing?

Right, we can't use that one.

- We're running out of plates, sir.

We've left for one series... - I know.

- What were you doing?

- Walking.

No, you weren't walking,

you were stopping along the way.

- Well, what would you like me to do?

- What do you mean?

I would like you to walk.

Just walk?

Yes, just walk.

When is the picture taken?

- As you walk. - At what point?

- At all points!

There, there, there, and there!

All down the line!

I see.

Yes.

It's simple. You go from here...

To there.

Like this?

No, no, no,

not so self- consciously.

Let your arms swing naturally.
