Lights Camera Gallop tells the story of the horse in film and television, from simple means of transport through character parts to glamorous film star, from the silent films through swashbucklers and Westerns to present day films. Aimed at all who appreciate the beauty of horses or have an interest in films, this book includes celebrity-style briefings on the horses in star roles in film and TV - including their make-up secrets. All the main genres of film featuring horses are covered: Westerns (great for exciting chase sequences), 'wild horse' movies (survival against enormous odds), action films (even horses versus Nazis ) and comedies (a talking horse, a horse on a piano...). Find out how some of the most awe-inspiring scenes with horses were filmed - and how to spot some of the tricks of the trade. Key cinematic techniques are explained, from clever editing, through Stop Animation to Computer Generated Images, all in readily understandable terms. Check out the pictures of beautiful horses - the well-toned bodies, the manes to die for, of horses such as Black Beauty, Shadowfax from Lord of the Rings or Roy Rogers' Trigger - and amazing stunts. This book also tells you how to look up horse stars on the internet and where to watch key horse scenes from famous films on the internet - for free.
