Javier Aguirresarobe

After six goyas, and an aura of master of the Director of photography, Javier Aguirresarobe (Eibar, Guipuzcoa, 1948) retired. On the other side of the Atlantic, to keep learning, to work in other types of films. They called me to the Mexican arrancame la vida and I have been linking a project after another, responds the filmmaker from Montreal. The excuse to chat with the guipuzcoano is the premiere yesterday on Spain’s night of fear, a remake made in Hollywood-i.e. 3D – a classic of eighties horror.

It has been a strange experience, because it is the first time that it worked in stereoscopic and digital. The truth is that the filming has been very fast, at the pace of a normal production, because with digital we moved faster and compensated that 3D us could slow. And what can bring new? I try to always get away from the cliches, combine lighting concepts and that surprise, although in sequences such as the basement you go directly to the pure horror. The original was very strange, me It seemed difficult to improve, and what we have done is to rejuvenate it and bring it into the 21st century. Is the 3D the future? I don’t know, I like but I see that people are getting tired. The digital if that helps: just finished The five-year engagement, a comedy with Emily Blunt and Jason Segel, also in digital, and there were days that we had up to six hours of material, because the digital wheels and wheels, the actors can improvise without stopping. Although those who have worked many years with celluloid skin tone that gives this material like us. Source of the news:: Aguirresarobe: “every day I learn something”
