Sergio Cruz


Sergio Cruz is a Portuguese freelance film maker. He creates short films that express the idea of movement, specialising in using dancers. Sergio was curious about the idea of fashion within film, which inspired him to create his own fashion movie. He works in small teams on a low budget, with a portable series of equipment to produce his incredible outcomes. He expressed that he didnt like to use models within his films. He is inspired by actors, dancers and athletes because they understand the idea of movement and have the ability to do so naturally

The video above it of Sergio Cruz short fashion film H20. He didn't use a model, the boxer is a real boxer who he caught the eye of and decided to use. The athlete has since been use for many Vogue and Harpers Bazaar.


We were lucky enough to have Sergio come to our University to give a guest lecture and workshop. Within the workshop, not only did we learn about Sergio himself, we had the oppourtunity to create a short film with his help. Our film was about the movement of makeup, showing the emotion of scaredness. We chose those who has less makeup and ran through to those who had the most, finally putting the short film together to see the outcome. 

EQUIPMENT:

Serigo has a basic collection of equipment that he carries around with him. Everything is small, making it easily portable, and relatively cheap. Despite this, he is still able to create some amazing films.
