Bollywood in Seville

Coming from Torre del Oro, a larger crowd at the Puerta de Jerez attracts our attention. It is a film crew from Bollywood. Approximately 20 – 30 persons are involved in what is happening on the set.

Lighting technicians, cameramen, sound engineers, producer and others are busy, while the principal actress is waiting patiently for new instructions of the director.

We start a little a conversation with the cameraman. It is 43 º C in the shade, but he thinks that’s not bad. In India, that would be normal. We then speak about the technical equipment. He is rightly proud of his objective.

Presumably it costs more than 75.000.- €. I am, however, astonished when he says that they film in 8K. I must of course take an envious look at the camera.

However, as a travel camera it is a bit unhandy. Our team consists only of 2 persons.

The cameraman tells us that they stay in Seville for 4 weeks, then go back to India and subsequently to Kenya.

With the feeling to have learned something new, we leave the film set.
