Film & Video

One scene, sixteen takes, five models — and you call the shot.

One fisherman of Chiloé, one throw of the net, five seconds. Four camera moves, four hours of the same day — sixteen takes. Switch while it plays: the moment stays, the shot changes.

Same frame. Five directors.

One opening frame and one line of direction — “static shot, he throws, the net blooms and lands” — given to five video models. Same words, five readings of them.

How the scene was made

Cast, not prompted: a 64-year-old Huilliche fisherman written as a casting line — the silver ponytail, the burgundy cap, the anchor on his forearm — so he is somebody, not the default face.
One frame, four hours: the golden-hour still drawn once, then relit as dawn, noon and night with the frame kept.
Four camera moves from each frame. Where the camera wanted to follow the net, the locked shot got a last frame too — the same framing after the throw — and stood still.

Call your own shot

Pick a frame, pick a move, pick a model. Then cut the takes you like into a film.
