processing and dual dynamic balance. Another important criterion behind Peter’s choice: “Operators on any Argentinian film face the problem of low budgets, and producers usually have no money to hire lighter cameras for shooting with most common camera stabilizing systems. I need equipment that allows me to work with heavy cameras, too!” he explains. The artemis system’s modular design enables quick and easy changeover from lightweight to heavy cameras and vice-versa as the operator deems necessary.

SUCCESS PHASE: EL CUSTODIO AND EL OTRO

In 2005 Peter had the opportunity to work on Rodrigo Moreno’s El Custodio. The film portrayed a bodyguard whose life’s work was to act as a shadow to another human being. El Custodio received the Alfred Bauer Prize at the Berlinale in 2006 and premiered in German cinemas on May 24, 2007.

Last year Peter Triviño worked with director Ariel Rotter on his second film El Otro, a story about a routine business trip that suddenly becomes an expedition into another life and a journey inward. While cameraman Marcelo Lavintman shot with an Arri BL 4, Peter provided perfect clips with his artemis Cine HD system: “At first they planned to shoot the whole film using a tripod” he comments, “but the Estacion Terminal de Liniers, the large central bus terminal in Buenos Aires, proved to be a difficult location. The producers were only given permission to shoot for two hours. This was too short a time to set up cranes and tracks to shoot at a busy location like a central bus station. The only solution at this point was to shoot the scenes quickly with the help of an artemis system. We met early in the morning. I put my artemis on and we filmed all the scenes in less than two hours,“ says Peter Triviño proudly.

El Otro received awards soon after its world premiere at the Berlinale 2007, and director Ariel Rotter took two Silver Bears home with him.
