Netflix’s investigative thriller, The Asunta Case, has become a worlwide sucess on the platform this year. It has been more than 6 weeks in the Global Top 10 TV shows worldwide on Netflix. The miniseries unravels one of the most shocking crimes committed in Spain in the last years.
Carmen V. Albert at Camera & Light Magazine has made a comprehensive review of Daniel Sosa AEC’s cinematography in this true crime series.
Sosa’s work is a very naturalistic approach to light, intimate, with a camera that gets close to the characters. Daniel Sosa used compact and lightweight sources like several VELVET lights on this project such as VELVET Power bicolor panels and VELVET EVO series color soft panels.
“We used compact LED sources such as the VELVET EVO 2×2 and the EVO 2, very versatile indeed.
These RGB soft panels work very well for Galicia’s humidity and unexpected rain”
Daniel Sosa photographed in 2017 the documentary film ‘El Caso Asunta: la operación Nenúfar’ directed by León Siminiani and based on the same subject. For him, all the projects he works on are another chapter in his biography, so he tries to take each of them as enriching life experiences.
“When it comes to choosing the equipment and camera and lighting gear for this series, I compare the shoot to walking the Camino de Santiago. Do I want to go with friends or with strangers? Do I want to wear light clothes or carry so much gear that it weighs me down on the second day? I want to make the trip comfortable, I want versatile, compact equipment, a modular camera that I can transform in different ways and I want friends who, if one day I don’t have energy, will help me, and I will help them too, because, in the end, the Camino de Santiago you do, which is this shooting, stays in your biography, it is linked to your experiences. And, as we fit one project after another, sometimes series that last almost half a year, I want to remember it with joy; I like to think of it not only as a job, but as a vital enjoyment”.
