P3D yet another dolly motion - the horse

[Bob Wier <wier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess these are getting so common that it's probably worthwhile
to stop mentioning them - however I just caught another one which
is quite striking. Apparently Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out
another truck or something. They have a galloping herd of horses, along
with a horse & rider in the foreground. All of a sudden they freeze, throwing
the rider forward over the head of the horse - followed by a cut of
him hitting the ground (ouch!) - then a cut back to the dolly motion
of the horse. On my somewhat small screen, it looks like they got the
horse with all hoofs off the ground, a nice touch (which would be
interesting to know if it were intentional as a nod to Muybridge). 
The rider then runs back into the scene and pick off his 3 dimensional
hat from the scene (dunno how they did that - major optical / digital
compositing, I'd wager). 

This ran, I think, on the History Channel here in the US a couple of
nights ago.

THANKS
