| Description: | 16:13:47:- tight LS of Victoria, an adult elephant being led into a fenced-off area; zoom in to MS as the trainers try to get her close to the fence so she can be led into a mock-interview. Cut to MS of Victoria and Jeff Bolling, a Zoo Atlanta employee standing for the camera as Mike Lukas (TV host and comedian) talks to them. They talk about Victoria (a 14 year old African elephant), if there is any truth to the legend that an elephant never forgets, etc. Funny MS of Mike asking an eating Victoria if she remembers him (he visited Zoo Atlanta two years before); a trainer eventually gets Victoria to grandly nod her head as if in acknowledgement. Mike and Jeff talk about what Victoria eats daily and how elephants communicate. Cut to MS of Mike asking Victoria if she remembers him (another nod); he then goes into an improv bit about how much he's been thinking about her, etc. Cut to MS of Victoria being led out of the fenced area, curling and waving her trunk as if saying goodbye (so cute). Good CU's and MS's of Victoria eating hay throughout the interview. | |
