front of people and set, a lot of ideas arise,
then is necessary take advantage of that,
having a plan, a route in order to brand you
as director.
What format did you use?
John Agudelo: We filmed on digital format
using two cameras: A Black Magic Cinema
and a Sony A7RII which are video cameras,
the format was 2k for projection in large
screen, the purpose of this decision was
improving the quality of the film.
Sony camera is smaller and handy, it can
be introduced in nooks, it was used to film
indoors. While Black Magic was used to
film outdoors offering a favorable light exposition.
We filmed in this format because
is standard quality for projection in cinemas,
the equipment was gotten thanks to
alliances with different sponsor enterprises
in Bucaramanga.

“Don’t look over there, look at the camera
please”, and stuff like that.
How was production phase?
Irene del Castillo: It was a pretty fulfilling
experience, but a little complex because the
place was far from the city. Jordan Sube it’s
like a “ghost town”, we had the budget to
realize the short film, however “La Cineteca”
made a big effort .
What obstacles did you face during the
filming?
John Agudelo: There were many. First, a director’s
work requires leadership, in this way
is necessary be able to lead with a big team
of work, coordinate their minds and bodies
