The Academy recognizes Miguel Ángel Amoedo for the titanic work of capturing the world of Lorca in images

“The challenge was to capture that poetry in a film,” says Amoedo, who has filmed ‘The Bride’ with a RED Epic.

Miguel Ángel Amoedo has extensive experience in television where he has worked on the series The Ministry of Time, Vis a vis o Spain among others. Obtaining in this edition of the Goya the award for best photography direction for The Bride ha sido a un espaldarazo a lo que se antojaba un trabajo difícil ya que el propio autor reconoce que “trasladar a la fotografía algo que está en el imaginario popular no era tarea fácil y se corría el riesgo de defraudar a la gente. El reto era plasmar esa poesía en una película”.

La película está rodada en digital con una cámara RED Epic. Amoedo cuenta que él es “muy pro RED porque creo que es una cámara muy democrática y generacional, que ha ayudado a mucha gente a iniciarse en el cine. Por el precio de una ARRI Alexa puedes tener dos cuerpos de Epic”.

Miguel Ángel Amoedo is a professional who adapts perfectly to the television medium and cinema, simultaneously carrying out work in both spheres. He acknowledges that when he finished his training, he realized that in the field of television there was a wasteland, so "I have tried to sow film photography in television series because viewers deserve the best. I make films and I make television and what I want is to offer the viewer a quality visual experience."
