These are some photos of our filming in Ronda for our documentary. Since they are from my iPhone and my (Mephisto Productions’) Production Assistant’s Blackberry, they are not of the usual quality.

The director and I pick up our English cameraman at Malaga airport (we also have one from Barcelona and two from the channel Canal+Toros). He arrived with a €1,000 excess on luggage bringing four RED cameras, including the new RED epic.

We begin setting up the cameras outside of the bullring waiting for the empresario to finish his work on the selection of the bulls by the apoderados and mozos de espada of the three bull fighters for the day, Cayetano, El Juli and Manzanares, and let us in.

Having been let in, we set up.

My production assistant, Lucy Burman, photographs me walking between cameras in the callejon, the bullfighters’ alleyway around the ring (I am in the dark suit.)

When I am not directing the three cameras in the callejon, and fielding calls from the director sitting next to our super-camera on the balcony above, I get a chance to watch the fight. Here is Manzanares…

It is a prime position for me to see the bull up close (I am on the left).

I applaud left as Cayetano takes a handful of sand from the ring in which his grandfather’s ashes are interred.
