THE BEGINNING: The movie "Prodigy-man" is born of my interest to the superheroes' comic-books and to famous icons as Superman, Batman and Spiderman. This movie is a product of entertainment directed all the public ones. Also it’s modest and ambitious at the same time. Modest because only it wants to entertain. Ambitious because its approach is of superproduction of Hollywood … but without money.
Albert Val is doing one 3D realist in order that you create Prodigy-man can fly for Barcelona. Also more persons have worked that in my first short film, "The secret 1936” (http://elsecreto1936.blogspot.com/ ). The preproduction and the filming have been more enterteining but also … more complex.
"Prodigy-man" is an honoring to all the persons (artists and not artists) that have worked and are employed at the industry of the superheroes' comic-books. Also it is an honoring to all those who have been employed at superheroes' movies. Now the supermen are fashionable but they entertain us from 1938, year in which Superman was born. My influences for "Prodigy-man" have been very varied. From comic-books of Superman, Batman, Spiderman, X-Men up to masterpieces as "Watchmen", "Batman, the Dark Knight ", "Elektra Assassin", "Marvels" or "Kingdom Come". From classics of the cinema like "Superman" or "Batman" up to more modern movies like " Superman returns ", "Batman Begins", "X-Men", "Hulk", "Daredevil", "Blade II", "Fantasctic Four" or "Hellboy".
I want to emphasize 15 superheroes' movies of the last 10 years (1999-2009) , the superheroes' movies of 2008 and 2009 because it have accompanied the creative process of "Prodigy-man". These movies are "Jumper", "Iron Man", "The Incredible Hulk ", "Hancock", " The Dark Knight", " Hellboy 2 ", "Santos", "Punisher","The Spirit", "Push", "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and "Watchmen". Also I want to mention the movie "REC", which influenced me enough while I was writing the script of "Prodigy-man".
STATISTICS OF THE FILMING: The filming of the movie "Prodigy-man" has lasted 56 hours, approximately. These 56 hours are distributed throughout 16 days.
