Some Chipmunks are friendlier than others and ShopVac was one of them. I managed to train him to eat close to me. I used  two cameras to film the event. The Chipmunk started imitating me by climbing onto the camera on the tripod. 

I was able to film him using the other camera and succeeded in realizing this little montage. As you may notice, it was not an easy task to track him with the camera. 

ShopVac is the same Chipmunk who during the following years became a great little friend to whom I was able to teach several playful tricks.
