There are times when things just seem to be against you. After starting to shoot in Budapest for half a night faking the sites of Paris, Jan and his crew got stuck in a heavy snow storm and had to cancel the shoot due to reasons of continuity.

Fabulous Chilenean producer Ingrid Bragemann took the descision to fly back to Santiago to shoot the interior shots of the opera starring over 250 extras first.

After scouting in Buenos Aires for the rest of the exteriors, the crew finally went to Paris where Jan and his DoP Jens Harms had to shoot without putting a tripod on the ground due to a lack of filming permissions.

The idea to fix all camera gear to cars finally made not only the day, but delivered extraordinary images on top.
