Consultancy by Daniel A. Rubio is a specialized service that encompasses more than three decades of experience in the documentary field. He provides personalized guidance from the initial conception of the idea through to completion.
This consultancy is aimed both at beginning documentary filmmakers producing their first film and experienced professionals seeking to refine their narratives, vision, and productions. Daniel A. Rubio is recognized for his vast international experience and unique perspective, which make him an exceptional guide.
The areas of expertise for personalized consultancy include:
● Development of the Original Idea and Script:
● Focuses on the Unique Perspective, with the belief that “everyone has a story worth telling.” The consultancy helps shape this singular perspective into a documentary piece.
● Provides support in efficient planning of shoots.
● Encourages an Intuitive Approach, which he calls the “click mentality”, focused on capturing raw energy and fleeting moments, allowing the story to develop organically and embracing the unexpected (“happy accidents”) that can lead to something unique and powerful.
● Assists in better shot breakdowns and thinking through the narrative structure of the script in different stages of production to maximize impact.
● Pre-production and Production (Directing and Filming):
● Applies the central concept of “Analog Gaze”, a distinguishing feature. This concept is seen as an antidote to digital overload, encouraging attunement to one’s own senses and direct experience of the world, without the digital filter. In practice, this means focusing on “being present in the moment,” limiting distractions, listening deeply, and building trust with characters to capture authentic moments. This allows the director’s unique voice to emerge in authorial documentary filmmaking.
● Known for his “work ethic,” reflected in an aesthetic of closeness and intimacy with subjects, making the camera “practically invisible.” He guides filmmakers in maintaining ethics and authenticity.
● Provides inspiration and tools for overcoming limitations, such as tight budgets and production challenges, based on his own experience in films like O Verde Está do Outro Lado (The Green is on the Other Side), where he shot most of the film himself and was inventive with resources.
● Post-production (Editing and Montage):
● Sees montage as the art of “sculpting time.” Rubio guides filmmakers in identifying what they want to convey in each scene and synthesizing to “give the viewer what you want to say with that scene” through sensory observation.
● Supports the creation of dramatic curves using visual and sound contrasts, allowing one to “design a game” that surprises and impacts, creating emotional peaks and pauses.
● Focuses on the internal assembly of sequences to make the film more powerful, ensuring that the protagonist is always central and that every scene serves a clear function, while leaving paths open to interpretation. ● Formats and Types of Documentaries:
● Specialist in the observational approach, the technique of “show, don’t tell,” where the filmmaker becomes “AN EYE IN THE STORY”, trusting the audience’s interpretation.
● His work consistently addresses profound themes, such as social and ecological issues, including water crises (O Verde Está do Outro Lado), social inequality (Crianças sem Terra, Tobias 700, Occupying Brazil, Rosania - All my life), indigenous and quilombola issues (Mandira), and environmental impacts.
● Demonstrates platform versatility, with experience in producing for international broadcasters (BBC-World, Al Jazeera, TVArte, Life on BBC Mundo, Viewfinder), university television (TVPUC), as well as projects like web/TV series (Deguste o Brasil) and shorts (SHORTS in O Pulsar da História).
● Distribution and International Reach:
● Daniel A. Rubio has a proven track record of screenings of his documentaries at international festivals (France, Cuba, Argentina, Uruguay, Biarritz, Amsterdam, Cinesul, É Tudo Verdade), showing his ability to navigate the festival circuit and achieve recognition.
● His experience with major international outlets such as BBC-World and Al Jazeera provides a valuable perspective on distribution and the global reach of documentaries.
● Project Mentorship and Teaching:
● Beyond directing and producing, he shares his knowledge through online courses, offering “tools and inspiration.”
● His consultancy model is practical and collaborative, focused on “designing a game” that optimizes the narrative and enhances the film’s power.
In summary, Daniel A. Rubio is a multifaceted professional (director, producer, cameraman, photographer) who offers comprehensive and ethical consultancy, capable of transforming a raw idea into a powerful documentary aligned with the filmmaker’s vision and purpose. He helps navigate the complex production process—from filming to final editing—ensuring that the story is told with authenticity and emotional resonance.
