Last days shooting "Sirena Negra"

As I have posted previously, our short film adapting the play "Sirena Negra" written by Vanessa Montfort for the project "Hijos de Mary Shelley" is now in its Festivals running, and doing pretty well! Here are a couple of photos from the last shooting days in Madrid...


A "secret" screening with the people of La Huella. We use to do that to have fresh feedback from the early editing versions. Left to right: Régis Barbey (colourist), Luis Sánchez-Gijón (behind Régis, editor and AD), Jérôme Debève (Producer and VFX supervisor), Jorge Muñoz (CGI artist), Juan A. Ruiz (Producer and VFX supervisor) and Iván Lopez (video artist and Flame specialist)


On location, preparing the shooting for next day. Left to rift: Juanlo Prada (Production director), Lati Maraña (DOP) and Luis Sánchez-Gijón (Editor,VFX designer and AD)

Suddenly the rain came and helped to have some wonderful shots
