How to produce and film a professional video with few resources
Juanma Carrillo has created ads for international brands and clients such as the Community of Madrid and the FIRE!! cinema festival in Barcelona. However, it's in music videos that he finds the freedom he seeks to convey everything that inspires him. Good examples of this include the trilogy of video clips Premeditación, Nocturnidad y Alevosía that he directed for La Bien Querida and Ataraxia, which he directed for La Casa Azul.
To make a video clip, you must think in images while considering the tempo, rhythm, and lyrics of a song. What's more, you often need to adapt to budget constraints and tight deadlines. In this course, Juanma teaches you the entire process of creating low-cost music videos from beginning to end, including storyboard creation, pre-production, filming, and editing.

A course by Juanma Carrillo
Juanma studied audiovisual production in Madrid and Paris and worked for some time in the French music industry. His photographs have been published together with those of artists such as Nan Goldin, Sophie Calle, and Wolfang Tillmans. His audiovisual work moves between avant-garde cinema and video art, the latter being a discipline for which he has been awarded internationally for pieces such as This Leak, Cuerpos deshonrados, and Nineteen forty one.
His work appears in various documentaries and publications and has been featured at festivals around the world. He has also formed part of international juries at many film festivals and teaches masterclasses at various universities.
His passion for music has led him to the world of video clips, where his trilogy for La Bien Querida has been praised and awarded by critics and the public as has his piece Born Heroes, commended by David Bowie himself. Since 2012, he has been the image director for the international film festival FIRE!! in Barcelona, and between 2015 and 2017 he directed the theater company La joven compañía in Madrid. He currently runs his own advertising agency CSTUDIO between Madrid and Reykjavik.

Los conocimientos técnicos son muy buenos, pero a veces se echa en falta una mayor conexión con la parte creativa del proceso. Sería interesante explorar más a fondo la relación entre la música y la imagen.
