The Weguelin hacienda scenes.

My USB mobile internet device died on me like a week and a half ago preventing me from posting in here for a quite a while now. I'll sum it up all these days in this one post:

After spending the last days at the near-Ancon locatión filming the firing Armstrong cannons for the bunker scenes inside the Cochrane, we all moved to a new location south of Lima: Pachacamac.

Days before it, coordinations and talks were a bit uneasy for the people in charge of all the arrangements there weren't as proactive as necessary, leading to some delays that forced me to call the city Major myself. Thank God all went well afterwards and its a pity that things sometimes need to go far in order for people to do their job. I actually went there quite upset but the city Major was kind and friendly and things changed once there. I'll be more than happy to return the favor with the necessary publicity and tourist promotion because of his gesture with me and my crew. Always believed its a good practice to return gestures and support.

The location in Pachacamac was an old "hacienda" turned into a museum and perfectly able to be the country home of Carlos Weguelin's hacienda Buena Vista, but still needed a bit of retouch to make it look like a 19th century place. Arranged and brought some stuff to make it look rustic and country-side looking. It ended up looking perfect. The results are amazing.
