INTERVIEW AT "YA ES HOY" MAGAZINE

Ya es Hoy is an online magazine based in my home country, Argentina, that promotes art in all its forms, all over the world. From design to films and music, there is always something interesting to discover at their site.


Being one of the main supporters of Vimeo Festival + Awards, Ya es Hoy is an essential resource for creatives and creators around the globe.


Here’s the link to their site and the interview they have offered me. I’m glad I got to be featured in their magazine, a window to the world, open from the place I come from.

Prague

Two months ago I spent a few days in Prague, invited by my representative there Lukas Skalnik, from Eallin Motion Art. Lukas and I had been in touch before but had not had the chance to meet personally. During my stay there I got to know him (a great guy, by the way), and his partners and team.

Eallin is a company specialized in production of TV commercials and Music Videos. They have a great team of directors and technicians and a quite impressive reel. You can check their works at their website.  

A couple of weeks ago, an opportunity to work together finally arose: an animated commercial for a client from Russia, who was looking for something organic, with a hand-made look, and the use of real textures. So it seemed the project fitted me perfectly.

I moved to Prague for a few weeks, and we started the shooting already. Here are some pics of the studio at Eallin.

More are soon to come.

Vimeo Festival+Awards

I have been honored with an invitation to participate as a judge at Vimeo Festival+Awards, next to David Lynch and other great filmmakers.

The 20 films that have made it to the shortlist of each category will be soon featured at the site.

Popsicle Space Camp

Here’s the last commercial I have been working on with my US representatives, BENT Image Lab.

I don’t usually work on 3D but this commercial was a good excuse to start.

It is maybe a bit far from my usual “unpolished” look, but hey, variety is the spice of life!

Hope you enjoy watching it.






Entrevista en CineDigital

Hace unos días he sido invitado a realizar una entrevista para CineDigital.tv.

Su propuesta me pareció muy interesante, ya que CineDigital.tv es la primera plataforma que aborda temas relacionados con la pre-producción, post-producción, equipo y tecnología HDSLR, enteramente en español.

Hasta ahora, toda la información relacionada a estos temas se encontraba enteramente dirigido -y limitado- a un mercado angloparlante.

Gracias a José Luis Tamez, DP y Productor, por invitarme a participar en su proyecto!

HEBE MAGAZINE

Hebe Magazine has invited me to participate with some illustrations on their last issue, where I had the honor to appear alongside with one of my favorite illustrators, Rebecca Dautremer.

Hope you like it!

ZACUTO’S THE GREAT CAMERA SHOOTOUT

On May 4th I have been invited by Steve Weiss to participate on Ep.3 of The Great Camera Shootout, shot at the Midwest Independent Film Festival Screening in Chicago.

It was a great occasion to finally meet Steve, Susan, Jens, Sara and the rest of their great team in person. I got a chance to visit them at Zacuto’s headquarters, and to try the great gear they have created for adapting DSRL cameras to filmmaking.

During those days I also had the chance to meet greatly creative people, such as french filmmaker Boris Wexler, american DOP Shane Hurlbut, and Misa and Jehu García, from Jag35, who also work on creating affordable equipment for filmmakers that work with DSRL cameras, and with whom I have shared a few meals and drinks during my stay.

The shootout, which took place in front of a large and specialized audience, was about comparing footage filmed on 35 mm, and the same footage filmed on DSRL cameras, focusing in the comparison between RAW and compressed, and in the response of the different cameras when filming over green screen.
Steve and his team wanted to show the kind of results that could be achieved by using one of these cameras, and that’s where “J’ai pas le temps” came in. I shot it entirely on a Canon 7D. It was the first time I worked with one of these cameras, and I must say that I was really amazed by the quality of the compression I achieved.
It was exciting to watch the music video on such a huge screen, and even more exciting to get such a positive response from the audience.

Meeting such great people, exploring Chicago, and participating on an episode of a series I had been following, had turned the trip into a wonderful experience.

J'AI PAS LE TEMPS (I have no time)

I have been working on this piece for more than two months, full time. It is a video clip in which I experimented some new techniques, and improved old techniques I had already used in previous works. The project was commissioned by french singer Gabi, and co-produced by Cube Creative (Paris) and my company here in Madrid, Dreamlife Studio.

Hope you like it!

Stay tune, for I'll be posting the making of in my website in the next couple of days!.

ANIMATED SPOT FOR OSCILLOCOCCINUM

This is a spot I've made last year for the French market. Even if it has not been released yet, I got the ok from the Production Company to post the spot on my online portfolio. Two huge graphic prints (already displayed in some parts of France), also form part of this campaign.

The product (Oscillococcinum, from Laboratoires Boiron, France) is an homeopathic medicine against flu symptoms.

To see the spot and the making of, please visit my site at www.carloslascano.com

INSPIRATION - A new version

A year ago I got contacted by Mark Vogelsang, from the Audio for Film department at the Ontario Institute for Audio Recording Technology. Mark was interested in using my projects for his students to practice Sound Design technique and theory.

I got a few samples and I must admit they were all great. But one of them caught my attention: two students, Ben Doner and Victor Rusin, had created a piece for my short film Inspiration, and I found theirs to be much better than the original. This time, I asked for their permission to use their score on my film.

Here is the result. Hope you enjoy it.
