Shooting "By your Side"

Finally we shot the short film "By your Side", a film about a garbage collector who meets a rich girl.
We had a team of about 20 people and we shot the film on a Canon 7D DSLR camera. We rented lights locally, one smashing HMI and a couple of 1000W's. And a "genny" of course (a generator for the lights).

We had an EXTREMELY tight schedule due to the limited time we had the main actor (he was flown in from Bogota), so we had to work every minute. The second day of shooting we basically worked 23 hours in a row, starting in the morning and ending in the next morning. We were so thankful to the owners of an apartment in El Poblado in Medellin, who let us in with a whole film crew and letting us shoot almost all night through.
