Where do they take babies to film

История кинематографа | 13.08.2024
Son of radio operator Kat. Little Sasha Tikhomirova. What do they have in common? Only that these roles were played by real babies. Where do such small children get to the cinema? If the picture is clear with older children - there are acting bases, theater clubs and studios, then the situation is more complicated with kids. The way out of the situation is when one of the members of the film crew or their friends has their own child. For example, the first role of the star Daria Moroz was (together with her mother, actress Marina Levtova) in the film “Dear, dear, beloved, the only one". And they played, of course, mother and daughter. American actress Sofia Coppola played her first role in the film of her father, directed by Francis Ford Coppola. She is the very baby who was baptized in the cult “Godfather".
If there is no way to find a child in the inner circle, the search begins. There are cases when a baby is taken to shoot from the baby's house. If circumstances allow, a doll can replace the child in the frame. As, for example, in “Petrushka Syndrome”, where the main character, the boy Petya, runs, clutching to himself ... it is the doll, and not the little girl whom the viewer had seen in the episode shortly before. The artificial baby also "lit up" in Alexey Balabanov's 2008 film Morphine. However, no modern technology can completely replace a living person. So sometimes, in order to find a baby suitable in all respects, a whole casting is arranged. And it can be no less tough than adult auditions.
