LA TACOMPETENCIA

Role: Car Cabin Unit Director of Photography

Production Company: Vacationland

Agency: Así Studios / Univision

Director: Luis Tapia


Overview: Tacompetencia is a Toyota competition series bringing players together through a series of challenges on and off the road. I served as Director of Photography for the car-cabin unit, capturing the conversations and interactions between players while they drove through the course.

Approach: Working inside the vehicles required a compact, self-contained camera system that could capture multiple occupants without interfering with the drivers or the action. Cameras were rigged directly inside the cabins using ultra-wide lenses, allowing us to maintain coverage within an extremely limited footprint.

Because the production took place in a remote location and moved at a fast pace, the camera systems needed to remain secure, reliable, and quickly adaptable between vehicles while being operated and monitored remotely.

Camera System:
Sony Cinema Line cameras
DZOFILM ultra-wide lenses
Low-profile suction and hard-mount rigging
Remote camera monitoring and control
