10 mins fame

Successfully completed the shooting of my second short film on Saturday(18-oct-2008). I played a mini-role in the short film. The short film is named as "Cause n Effect". Shooting is always fun, when we shot our first film, there were no one around and there were 5 crew members in total. This time we had shooting on a Tea-shop which gathered attention of around 50 people with no time. My position was so critical as i was standing inside the Tea shop and have to face the crowd.

Then i realized how hard it's to act, you have to be really shameless to ignore all those disturbances created and should not be irritated by the re-takes because of some external disturbances. You will get to see all type of characters from the crowd and it's hard to avoid them . I heard some loud comments outside and there's no chance of re-recording, so everytime when someone comment, we have to re-shoot....and believe me IT SUCKS !!!!!!!!!

All i can interpret is that everyone is trying to be in that "10 mins fame" and limelight is something everyone wish to attain at some stage of their lives. Even though i don't consider myself as an actor or a charming persona....despite that i can see people staring at me with some glee in their eyes and all i can read from the eyes is that everyone wants to be a STAR :)

PS: i enjoyed that stardom a bit on that day...hope i achieved my "10 mins fame" :D
PPS: we'll soon release the short film and will update all with the link :)

Hmm... Interesting. But the same happens when others shoot and we watch right? :D

And just a suggestion... Y don't u try mute recording followed by in-home dubbing just the way professionals do?

i asked subbuni, from his inputs it's costlier than live recording...athaan he dropped that plan.

PS: 3000 rs budget padam edukuravaingala paathu AR Rehman music venumnu keppada neee !!!!!

Puriyala da... Y do u think it's costly? Take edunga mute la... Edutthapparam veetla oru system adhula pirated software for video edits. Matter over. Idhula enna extra selavu?

enakkum sariya therila da..he said there wouldn't be sync of voice if we are not having a proper set-up for recording.

Also, definitely it cant be done in a room as there will be lots of disbursions and distortions will occur.

kadaisiya, this film is done as a part of his curriculum and that instructor is very strict about few things.

Still, i'll ask him and let u know the feasibility
