The first glimpse

It is that time of the year when we must all go scouting and rallying for job interviews nationwide. I am soon to graduate and with that reality, comes the stark realization of facing the world without the chaperone of an institute you have grown to love over the past four years.

Film stills

Against all odds, I stand halfway en route to the completion my first student film. With five minutes in and another three to go, its a precarious place to be. Everyday my mind reels in new ideas which I try to analyze and incorporate into the shots, sometimes resulting in very intriguing insights. Its been a tough ride, bearing the seed of this idea against a windstorm of critics and well-wishers. Hope this tale will soon be ready to meet you all across the shore!

In retrospect

I was initially planning to keep the treatment of the film restricted to a grayscale when I had made this illustration last year. Surprisingly, it had a date scribbled on it which read 8th august 2009. I can't believe it's been a year since I began working on this film and so much time has actually passed since this germ of an idea had emerged. My documentation is almost complete as I prepare for the final, and perhaps the most complicated leg of the journey (which involves a lot of softwares).
