Desafio Superhumanos, 2019 / Super humans Challenge Promo shooting

Posted: Wednesday, May 8, 2019 by Juan Carlos Cajiao Velasco Freelance Director and Director Of Photography in Labels: , , , , , , ,


The challenge begins...



With a bunch of crazy filmmakers we got on this new project with no doubt but very excited! Shoot at La Guajira desert, Colombia is always a challenge by itself. Far away from the city, shooting day light only with a really tight schedule for long 10 days...wow!


Director and DOP Juan Carlos Cajiao loves this kind of documentary reality projects, even though a lot of mise en scene is needed in order to create the astonishing images that will grab audience attention.


Waiting with patience the exact sun position and trying to do not die fried by the intense hot temperature, even the wind helped us a lot to do so.


Just drop off the cars, grab the camera and create the scene in a rush. You have some ideas in your head, but in the middle of nowhere you just must improvise and frame your scene as soon as you can.
Using the real competitors of the reality show, formed as teams from the 10 differences regions of Colombia, we made up sequences in which they show their skills, powerful strenght, abilities and temper!


Relax, photo shoot! Here our team on set!


Here our set!










Proud about this project! Desafio is a must see show in our country and being part of the team that created the promos and teaser prior the release is great!


Like shooting in Mars...soon on air...

Bronquisol campaign: No more coughing concerts.

Posted: by Juan Carlos Cajiao Velasco Freelance Director and Director Of Photography in Labels: , , , , , ,

The creative platform is three short films using a beat box made up with the coughing sounds of the talent.

Three different situations where Dr. Mom is going to be the superhero that destroys coughing with the Bronquisol she waves around in her hands.






We had two main challenges: the first one was that we should shoot the entire 3 spots in just one day with location changing and minor kids in two of the spots...(short-time shooting); and the second, with a mock up jingles try to give the correct rhythm and flow on each scene. Again: ON TIME!






At the end we shot everything we needed and the final spots liked a lot to our client! What a rush!







Shot with Leica Summicron lenses on Arri Alexa Mini camera package to intensify the image style on each piece. Besides the idea was to have 3 different lighting environments where Dr. Mom would be the heroine. The compact sized camera allowed us to move easily and promptly around the different locations we had.
