Well lets be honest, we have a lot of poofers for the photo contest
Im not saying its a bad idea, or the cham will get stressed out and go on a hunger strike or something. But If the scene is "i want the cham to do the shaky dance across the stick for 30 seconds, from 3 different angles", Generally you will end up with 30 seconds of rearing up on the hind legs to bluff the camera, or just them spinning around and hiding behind the stick to the point you just see a pair of eyes with a stick in between.
We have a few pro and semi pro photographers on the site, to the point where they can get their cham to tongue shoot while wearing a santa hat, id tag those people.
