Quotes
To get the best performances possible and never miss a moment from a 'magic take' I used two or three cameras crossing each other. It was something new that I had wanted to explore when making the very first feature film shot in HD Video in 1999, La virgen de los sicarios (2000) with the cameras still shooting at 30 frames per second. Subsequently with [cinematographer] Luciano Tovoli we employed the three-cameras-shooting technique in 2001 in Hollywood for Murder by Numbers (2002), and then on all our other movies after that until Amnesia (2015), which is our eighth collaboration. Luciano managed to find solutions, without ever sacrificing the quality of the image, to the seemingly insurmountable problems of light that that kind of set up creates. But by using this system it meant every actor in every scene was always looking and reacting to the other in front of one of the cameras, so we could not miss any 'magic moment'. [2015]
