The projects that the Venezuelan director Abraham Pulido had to postpone due to the pandemic include a pilot of a series that was supposed to start shootings in April.
“The risk is high and the new shooting protocols are still being adjusted. It has been necessary to group professional tasks to achieve a minimum of people working on a scene. It is very different in the studio, in real locations, or outdoors. Prosthetic makeup is cumbersome and will have to be simplified; love scenes, fights, where there is necessarily close contact and on the other hand, special CGI effects that will have to be captured with chromas and other techniques to complete scenes partially shot live,” he comments.
Regarding this project he is working on, he says he is thrilled and it will make history. “It is a very innovative dramatic series with intense characters, a true roller coaster.”
He used confinement time to make two scripts whose drafts had already been approved. “We have gone through a luxury pandemic with Internet, TV, and many live options to communicate”.
He mentioned that he has received calls from local and international entrepreneurs who have “very interesting and necessary advanced streaming broadcast proposals that are necessary for independent productions in Spanish”.
