Juanma Carrillo has made spots for international brands and clients such as the community of Madrid or the festival 'FIRE !!' of cinema in Barcelona, although it is in the music video where he finds the freedom to project everything that inspires him. Good sample of it is the trilogy of videoclips 'Premeditation, Nocturnality and Alevosía' that has directed for the Well-loved one or 'Ataraxia', that realized for the Blue House.
To make a video clip it is necessary to think about images, but always keeping in mind the tempo, the rhythm and the lyrics of the song. In addition, on many occasions, it is necessary to adapt to the lack of means and deadlines adjusted. In this course Juanma will teach you the whole process of creating a low cost music video from the birth of the idea, to the final montage, through the creation of the storyboard, preproduction and filming.

O professor fala muito dos gostos pessoais dele, do que ele estudou e o que prefere do que mostra mais em prática como fazer as coisa. E quando mostra o que realmente importa pro curso é muito rápido e superficial.
