Storyboards

Nothing beats the impression of a charcoal sketch for a storyboard. However, storyboard artists are few and expensive for small budget commercials and features. Softwares like Frameforge 3D studio do provide a fillip to most of us for whom sketching is just doodling matchstick caricatures on tissue papers of a coffee shop…

’11 Weeks’ – the film shoot. Part-1

Srinagar greeted with a dry autumn and deserted streets. The tourists who thronged the markets and shikaras a few months back were missing. As a photographer I felt like the streets, the landscape too was barren, with a veneer of gritty yellowy dust all over compared to the lush greens three months back.

This independent Indian debut will captivate audiences with its sunny location in a tranquil bay. There, the emotionally and existentially wounded protagonists find a new will to live through healthily exaggerated dialogues about life and the universe, in which Eastern and Western philosophies blend with science and a predilection for Frisbee playing.

 

Location Reccee ’11 Weeks’ – 3

In the last three days we had scanned most of the valley  – Kupawara, Baramulla, Sopore & Pahalgam. We did find a location that would suit our script; let’s see if it materialises. have just returned from Pahalgam. It was raining the whole day and Pahalgam was wet and looked beautiful as the clouds loured over the tall mountains. I did wet my feet in the icy cold waters of the lidder river. amazing.  However no suitable location in Pahalgam or Aro for that matter.

Tomorrow we set out for Gulmarg.
