Paulo P\u00e9rez<\/h1>\n

Cinematographer<\/p>\n

\u201cMy social conscience drives the work I do, whether it is documentary or fiction, covering stories about the environment, the climate crisis or the displacement of indigenous people\u201d, said Perez. \u201cFor me, cinema and TV is more than entertainment \u2013 we are writing the memory of this time so that future generations can see how we lived, or how something happened because we didn\u2019t stop it\u201d.

About…<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_equal_height=”yes” column_spacing=”0px”][vc_column width=”1\/3″ el_class=”Columna_Testimonios_Bio”][vc_column_text]Green Frontier<\/em> is a project whose tone, characters, and cinematography are defined by its setting and production location. The Colombian Amazon is as much a character as any paid actor, here, dominating both narrative themes and camerawork. Direction of photography is built around this setting, with most shots at low or flat angles and guided by sustained, free-flowing long takes on a Steadi-Cam. Much of the daytime cinematography uses only natural light, while most nighttime scenes are lit entirely by campfires. This almost nature documentary-aesthetic is jarring upon initial viewing, but the introduction is made easier by the likable characters brought to life by a diverse cast, and soon the series\u2019 guerrilla filmmaking style comes into its own thanks to the story\u2019s overwhelming mood, including its memorable sound-design. Immersion becomes the name of the game as the identifiable scenery sucks you in and the main characters take you along for the ride.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_single_image image=”719″ img_size=”58×40″][vc_single_image image=”749″ el_class=”Barra_Testimonios”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
