Cumbia Imperial
Albert Barranco sent me this song. Will be the Inca Empire’s Original Sound Track? I don’t think so. 
Subtitles: “I am your father”

Lately I have been in e-mail contact with Carolina Barco. She is a professional in audiovisuals and owns a company called Leyenda Films. We got to know each other during the master of 35mm Filmmaking and Production. Carolina used to be my teacher and now she gave me her opinion about the Inca Empire project.
Her first impression was about the magnitude of the project, huge!.
Carolina commented that it is very important focusing in the first movie on the Children of the Sun and not on the whole trilogy.
She is right. We are going to focus especially on the Children of the Sun but we won’t forget the fact that the whole project is a trilogy.
In matter of film production we have enough with the first movie.
Another interesting comment was converting this story in a TV Series.
I think in art, and in several aspects of our lives, it is very important to keep all doors open and not let escape any opportunity. Nevertheless, converting this project in a TV series is not easy. Adapting this story to a series means changing the whole narrative structure. But, as we concluded with Carolina: everything is negotiable!
The opportunities that life offers us are wonderful.
A space for professionals on the blogumentary.
A great idea! Those professionals that want to publish some opinions, ideas, illusions, dreams, etc., will have a space on the blogumentary. This is amazing because like this the blogumentary is going to become “communitarian”. And this is the main idea of this project. Thanks very much to Carolina for this great contribution. We will try to make it reality.
…and like this the project starts moving on. Carolina doesn’t think she can collaborate directly with her company but in my opinion she has already collaborated, and I am thankful for that.
Some doors close and others open up, and we can decide which one we choose. Not the closed one, please! Hehe.

Funny Pachacuti
I had a great time with next video. It’s about Pachacuti one of the Inca Empire’s King.
Anyway, I promisse don’t make something like that with The Inca Empire, The children of the Sun.
I hope you will enjoy it!

Today I want to share the conclusion we arrive with two friends, Tomas Valle and Assumpta Planas: the evolution of technology in filmmaking specially in independents films. Just type, in your favorite searcher, HD-DSLR and you have a new world of opportunities waiting for you. New small and cheap cameras. The conclusions are not many but they are very relevant: you can make films with a GOOD quality without spend a lot of money in camera equipments or accessories. Maybe the “old” photographers will say lights always have to be rented. I don’t say we don’t need lighting, it is essential, but perhaps the time when you could make fried eggs or a steak in the large spotlights is coming to the end. Fade to black.
Then, I share one of the links
Canon 7D Slow motion
And I add this link with a great work in post production.
It is going to be a hard decision to be made it, recreate the Inca soldiers in post production or use thousands of extras?
We’ll see the decision in this blog. Thanks!

Some days ago I had the opportunity to contact with A.Skromnitsky. He is learned in Inca History and when I needed a chronicle to compare with another ones, he answered me just in a couple of minutes. So, I am very thankful and I share his link. May be someone is interested in the chronicles about the Incas in Russian.

The Inca Empire tells the story of the last years of empire of the Incas. Three parts make up this trilogy:
The Children of the Sun: The beginning of the decline. Huayna Capac, the eleventh Inca emperor, dies and immediately it is produced a war of succession. A fratricidal war between Atahualpa and Huascar. A war whose outcome is a winner brother and a… dead brother. In this moment, the Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro reached Inca lands.
The conquest of gold: tells the confrontation of the Inca Empire versus the Crown of Spain, the solar religion against the Christian one. A story full of contradictions and deaths, full of betrayals on both sides. Incas who betray other Incas and Spaniards who murder their compatriots. An apocalyptic encounter. Finally Francisco Pizarro is murdered by his partner in a dispute about… gold.
The Sacred Valley: the story of the “guerrilla”, about the fight for independence by Manco and his son Tupac Amaru. However Tupac Amaru dies quartered in the Cuzco’s central square, finishing with him the whole lineage of those who called themselves “Children of the sun.”
A trilogy where there are no goodies or baddies, but feelings and the firm belief that everyone does the best that they can. But sometimes, as history shows, the result of those thoughts is the … self-destruction.

Why do this movie?
Because doesn’t exist an interesting movie about the history of the Inca Empire until now. There are some films that use the environment of inca culture such as The Secret of the Incas, by Jerry Hopper, The Royal Hunt of the Sun, by Irving Lerner, El Dorado by Carlos Saura, Aguirre, la cólera de Dios, by Werner Herzog, but no one tells the story from their own protagonists, the incas.
Because recreating that world is a challenge for artists of several disciplines and much more for those who come from the Andean regions.
Because Andean people deserve a revision of their past, a questioning of the existing chronicles and an analysis of their history under new approaches and theories. The script of the film contemplates these possibilities.
Because, from the producer’s point of view, it is an international movie that generates automatically an international market.
And because… we need to heal old wounds between countries, between generations, between ethnic groups… between human beings. Perhaps this movie helps to accomplish this and permits us to make some progress.

“It is kind of honor to be plagiarized.” Adrian Silisque
But because we don’t want to be plagiarized again and again, we need to have a legal resource to protect our work. Every time a work is created, call it a film script, a song, a poetry, etc., copyrights are automatically generated. If two author claim to have the copyright they will have to prove who is the real author. But how?
In Spain it usually works like this (although every country may be different):
- by Post (Correos): You have to send your work in a closed envelope which will be stamped with date and hour. This envelope remains closed forever unless there is a legal action that demands its opening.
- Using technology: there are online services giving us the possibility to register our work by Internet, i.e. safecreative.org. This is a new platform whose legal efficacy is unknown.
- The registry: this is the only institution that legally grants presumption of certainty that the author and owner of a work is the person who is listed in the registry, unless otherwise proven.
II took the script of “The Inca Empire” to the Copyright Registry Barcelona. ¿Where?
Carrer Muntaner, 221
08036 Barcelona
I had all necessary documents with me… Which documents? Oh, as specified in the requirements:
- The work has to be bound
- It has to be written with legible characters, without corrections, smudges and/or crossed out text.
- The author’s name and work title have appear on the cover.
- The pages have to be numbered.
- The applicant has to sign the first and the last page. (I had to sign several pages)
- Original and copy of your ID (identity document), in my case, NIE.
Whit these documents I arrived and I was treated very kindly, almost as an intellectual, as a real author. I was 26 years old and this felt very encouraging. Later, I had to pay 4,65 euros for taxes. And that was all!
After a few months, these documents that simply make you smile, were in my postbox:

This blog is supposed to be a platform to make the film project “El Imperio Inca” known.
It also pretends to introduce the concept of a blogumentary (Docublog, in Spanish). A documentary in form of a blog. Actually it’s not a documentary of the traditional kind but rather a kind of cyber-documentary and in real time! Everything will be happening here and now, and everyone who desires can be a witness.
Whether you want to participate in the project or just be the audience of the movie’s evolution, it is your choice. Welcome and enjoy every moment as much as we do.
Ah, and if you want to forward this web or you know someone who might be interested, you are just a click away to do it!
SeE You SoON.
