    uniE608 "Mujeres" de Coque Malla
    Mujeres is not just a collection of music videos — it’s a stripped-down, emotionally charged visual journey through love, memory, and feminine presence. Each piece is a cinematic duet between Coque Malla and a different female artist, revealing a layer of his emotional universe through voice, silence, and gaze. Shot with restraint and elegance, the videos reject distraction in favor of intimacy. Every frame feels deliberate — from the soft lighting that brushes across the faces, to the timing of each cut that breathes with the music. The camera is never intrusive; it observes, it listens, it allows the moment to unfold naturally. Whether it's the fragile nostalgia of Jeanette in Una Moneda, the magnetic poetry of Ángela Molina in Lo Intenta, or the playful chemistry of Leonor Watling in Berlín, each performance becomes a short film in itself — held together by a consistent visual language of honesty and vulnerability. As director and editor, I designed the pacing and framing to echo the emotional rhythm of the album. The goal was never to decorate the music — but to elevate it through silence, closeness, and space. Minimalist, cinematic, and intimate, Mujeres becomes a visual confessional where each song is a chapter, and every woman a mirror. This is not music television. It’s storytelling — told in real time, one glance and one lyric at a time.
    uniE608 Spot "La vuelta ciclista a España 2014"
    I directed, shot, edited and graded this official commercial for La Vuelta a España 2014, blending flamenco, cycling and the landscapes of Cádiz into a poetic visual narrative. Featuring dancer Sara Baras, the spot aimed to capture movement, rhythm and identity in a cinematic way. Produced in multiple versions for TV and online, it stood out for its emotional tone and artistic approach to sports promotion.
