Savant Location Scouting in Pope Valley (Sheepskin wipe)

Thanks to family connections, Robert was invited to scout a second location in Pope Valley. This beautiful area will be a funeral scene set in the Basque country. There are no sheep on this land, so Robert describes an old-school technique to blend sheep from another shoot into the funeral scene. A sheepskin (or single sheep) can make a wipe unnecessary, so only cuts are needed. This lightens the workload for the editor.

No digital effects have been employed in the film.
