Last year was a
good start for myself to get involved in creative tasks, especially in the film
making department. My first attempt was a magnum short film attempt, 12AM where
I worked mainly on Script-writing and Direction. From there, I tried hands on
Acting, Lyric writing (for songs), Editing, Camera etc., Here is my collection
of links for your visual pleasure.
Direction : Short Film, 12AM
I never thought I can
pull out what is shaped up as 12AM. Though there are lots of dents, I would
still be proud of this product which grabbed lots of attention and accolades
being my first ever attempt in to film making. Here are few links
Trailer : The idea was to mislead the viewers and
give them a wrong perception about the entire film genre. Some liked it but
many didn't (honest)
Promo Song : Honestly, the actual credit goes to Akbar
Basha (Camera) and Govind (Editor). The footage is snatched from the feature
film SUTTAKATHAI promo song ‘Unnai Naanum’. Also, this is my first Lyrics
attempt where I could say am partially succeeded. The real hero is the music
man Ashwath. I love this song.
12AM, the film: After a lots of difficulties, we managed to
release the short film in youtube. I have intentionally kept this away from
being picked by many companies as simply because this is my first ever creative
product J
Lyrics:
Apart from 12AM
promo song, I also worked with my friend Madav to pen the title song lyrics for
the feature film NALANUM NANDINIYUM. Full thanks to the director who trusted on
my abilities. Once again Ashwath and Palakad Shriram made this song ‘listenable’

Acting:
This was seriously
not in my list and I was persuaded by director. However, turned out brilliant..

Editing:
I thought I can dig
back old candid videos (mobiles, old handycams etc.,) and make a video out of
it with some theme. I wanted to get my hands on edit tool. Editing is one
department that always fascinated me and pushed me to do more creative stuffs.
Here are couple of video compilations. Excuse the poor video quality (old
files, you see)

Camera and Edit:
Since, I was fairly
doing well with editing, now I realized I always had a good DSLR with the video
format completely non-tested. So, I took my Nikkon D7000 and went for a ride to
Hong Kong. I thought I can make a beautiful memory out of it. Here you go, my
camera and edit work.
This time, I was
all happy to hear my friend wanted my help to design a promo video. I was all
excited, sleeve up and recklessly worked on a weekend to get this below video out.
A meaningful cause, I would say (Camera, Edit, Sound mixing)
