La Cima - Charlie Papa
DownloadDirected by: Adrián Egea
For La Cima, a music video directed by Adrián Egea and produced by Grilled Cheese Studio, I shot on the Arri Alexa Mini in 2.35 anamorphic, capturing everything in ProRes 4444XQ for maximum flexibility in post. We used Canon Cine lenses throughout, which gave us that particular rendering quality we were after. Ivan Iglesias operated the Ronin while Violeta Octavio kept focus tight, and the lighting team, led by Julio Arenas on gaff with Angelo Freda as spark, built a clean but textured look that worked with Lis Acconciagioco's art direction. The shoot happened in Barcelona, and honestly, the combination of that sensor and glass meant we could push into the shadows without losing detail, which mattered for the mood we were building. It's one of those projects where the technical choices quietly supported what the director was trying to say visually.
