Sound edition for Dany Campos´s “El Canto del Grillo” ( Eiga & 14 pies, 2005).

Probably one of the best experiencies I ever had working with sound. The first reason is working with (and under the supervision of) Manuel Gama (from “Taller de ruidos”, where all the sound work was done), my teacher, one of the most skilled sound technicians I ever met, and my friend.

The second reason is the great acceptance this short film had, being showed in more than 200 festivals in 45 countries and winning international prizes such as the Angry Film Festival (Melbourne, Australia), the Platinnum Remi Award from Houston festival (USA), Kawasaki´s film festival (Japón), Swäbisch Hall (Germany), Wrocklaw (Polonia) and the jury´s special mention in the Pedrera de Montevideo festival (Uruguay).

The third one is we had enough time to do what we had in our mind, even if it was a difficult short film to edit: quite a long story to tell, extreme ambience swings, industrial sounds, cars, trains, gunshots, etc (even faking a vomit).

And fourth one, the fact of having 4 Neumann U67 in my hands for a month.

Any kind of feedback would be much appreciated.
