- ALT1:~~... that director Román Chalbaud became interested in camera angles after playing the angel in a Nativity play who got to watch from above the stage?~~ Source: "...participó en un nacimiento viviente interpretando a un ángel. [...] su cuerpo gracias a la cual podía ser suspendido en el aire con ayuda de técnicos [...] El joven Román Chalbaud era capaz de mirar desde un ángulo poco común, a una gran cantidad de personas que a su vez, también lo observaban. Esa perspectiva es definida por el propio Chalbaud como [...] su primera experiencia consistente en ver el mundo desde el punto de vista de una cámara." "...he took part in a live nativity playing an angel. [...] thanks to this his body could be suspended in the air with technical help [...] The young Román Chalbaud was able to watch from a rare angle, there was a lot of people who were watching, that he also watched. This perspective is defined by Chalbaud as [...] his first experience of seeing the world from a camera's point of view." (Briceño, Raul. "La visión de Román Chalbaud: anécdotas del cine nacional".

Comment: If going with ALT1 can this go up on Christmas? (If it's full, how about Christmas Eve, because Nativity?)

I tagged the lead for being inadequate. Yoninah (talk) 20:23, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

@Yoninah: I've expanded the lead, is it good now? Kingsif (talk) 23:35, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. Here is a review: 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced. As all sources are foreign-language or offline, unable to check for close paraphrasing. The hook for Christmas Eve is interesting, but I would suggest writing it this way:
ALT1a: ... that Venezuelan director Román Chalbaud became interested in camera angles after playing an angel in a Nativity play and seeing the stage and the audience from on high? Yoninah (talk) 00:11, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
Foreign-language hook ref AGF and cited inline. Image in article is freely licensed. QPQ done. ALT1a good to go. Yoninah (talk) 00:11, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
