Embodicteam
Two people, a light kit and a habit of turning up where the story actually is.
Embodic Studio
A small studio that takes projects the whole way.
Embodic is Marty and Cris, a two-person studio based in Barichara, Colombia. We make films, photographs and websites for adventurous brands, field projects and people doing interesting things.
We stay small on purpose. A light kit and a two-person crew can go where a bigger unit can't, stay longer once it gets there, and keep a shoot day feeling like a conversation rather than a production.
Because we handle the filming, the edit and the digital side ourselves, the work holds together from the first conversation to the finished film and the site it ends up living on.
Our mark
Three layers. One living story.
Our mark borrows its geometry from an editing timeline: three angled clips, stacked and brought into relation. As the layers overlap, color emerges, echoing of the color grade that gives the finished film its character. Separate, they are material. Together, they become a story.
The team
Two people, one kit, whole projects.
Cris Buri
Producer, from Cali. Runs the shoot days, handles the plan and the people, and keeps everyone comfortable in front of the camera.
Together
Together we work light and mobile, small enough to fit in a boat, a jeep or a farmhouse kitchen, and quick enough to set up that the day keeps its own rhythm.
Where we are
Home base: Barichara, Santander, Colombia
Barichara is where we live and edit. Most of the filming happens somewhere else. We travel to other cities and countries whenever a project needs the story told where it is actually happening.
