Also trying to figure out the tricks... the bulges in her arms and legs are bodysuit, but what did they do, just edit in the heads of poodles onto exercising human bodies, and use tricks of perspective to make them seem shorter than they were?
Seriously though, I'm looking at the clip again and it does seem a bit cramped for such a thing...and in one of the close ups, I swear I thought it looked like a blue screen effect, so maybe it IS digitally done. I dunno. :[
It's here. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariko_Takahashi%27s_Fitness_Video_For_Being_Appraised_as_an_%22Ex-fat_Girl%22) The video was produced for Panasonic's Ten Short Movies--Capture The Motion. "Nagi Noda, in her artist's statement, explained that she arrived at the poodle concept after noticing that the dogs' hair cuts resembled muscles. She believed that this concept would help her video appeal to people of all ages." Unfortunately, it mostly creeps out people of all ages.
