Bernat Vilaplana and Jaume Martí see a two-year production rewarded with a Goya

“The hardest work has been telling such an emotional story and feeling it. It has been a very fine job to get the entire plot together,” Vilaplana acknowledges with the Goya to his work in ‘A monster comes to see me’ in his hands.

Bernat Vilaplana and Jaume Martí added one more Goya to the long collection of the successful A Monster Comes to See Me, by winning the award for Best Editing, an unexpected award according to the winners since it is always difficult to assess the work behind it. Both have just created an audiovisual company called Tropical.

Vilaplana already worked with J.A. Bayonne in The impossible and will repeat in the sequel Jurassic World. He explains that “working with J is wonderful because it means being constantly excited, it's a gift. Many people have participated in the assembly team. The hardest work has been telling such an emotional story and feeling it. It has been a very fine job to put together the entire plot.”

As Martí comments to Panorama Audiovisual, “the editing has always been linked and parallel to the filming, which began in Oxford and Manchester and then continued in Spain. Nine months before filming began, almost forty minutes of film were made with previews of all the scenes in which the monster and the boy were present, in such a way that we already had a good part edited in 3D. In total, it took almost two years to complete the assembly.” In the assembly it was used Avid Media Composer.

Both professionals have launched the audiovisual company Tropical, dedicated to post-production, which together with the production company Corte y Conificación, operate jointly from Barcelona.

As to Jurassic World 2, Vilaplana wanted to reveal a little about the status of the project that Bayona will direct and that will begin in the coming weeks. Vilaplana has participated in the assembly of Pan's Labyrinth, Scarlet Summit o The impossible.

Jaume Martí is now working on the Pau Freixas series I know who you are, which is broadcast on Telecinco and will immediately begin with Santiago Canut's next film.
