 IT IS TOUGH TO CLIMB A HILL WITH EQUIPMENTS

               

NOW COME TO WATER IF ANYBODY IS TIRED

PUPPETS CAN EXPRESS LOVE TOO !

The use of puppets is very common in education and entertainment fields to deliver knowledge or to entertain people. Sometimes puppets can express the feelings in a more effective way and can deliver the strongest possible message in a cool manner.

In the film Impatient Vivek,  the debutant lead actor Vivek is a puppeteer. Since he is shown to be a shy guy, he uses his puppet to express his love and emotions for his lady love. Since there are not many film makers who have used this medium to express the emotions of their characters, it can be a beautiful ode to Indian culture too. In the film, Vivek can be seen wooing Sayali and conveying his emotions very innocently using his puppet. To see how Sayali responds is the matter of worth a watch on screen.

GORGEOUS MELA SCENE

Recently for a dramatic and thrilling scene a giant set of typical Indian mela was prepared. The scene had to be shot with a huge crowd. It was also difficult to manage an enormous crowd which was gathered on the location to see the shooting.   The Executive Producers were also seen talking to the spectators to be the integral part of the crowd specially called for the shoot to avoid mismanagement and they finally succeeded. After that viewers also took part in the shoot and enjoyed it.

The EPs were also giving instructions to the operators of the giant wheels to avoid their idle running in order to prevent diesel consumption. Really they had an eye on everything. They were trying to keep maximum things in the grip. Normally, it is not very easy to manage the huge crowd but despite an initial hustle-bustle and a number of retakes all the shots finally became ok. The shoot in the mela lasted for one complete day and all the scenes were finished as per the schedule.

            Kuch nashaa teri baat ka hai,

                             Kuch nashaa dheemi barsaat ka hai,

            Humein tum yunhi paagal na samjho,

                         Yeh dil pe asar pahli mulakaat ka hai !!

CINEMATOGRAPHY- BLENDING WITH THE SOUL OF THE SCRIPT

To capture on celluloid, the soul of what the director has conceived, depends to a great extent on the skill of the cinematographer. Therefore, for the best results, coordination and rapport between the director and the cinematographer is crucial. This can be seen on the sets of Impatient Vivek where the director Rahat Kazmi and the cinematographer M. Sethuraman are working together as synchronised entities to give an outstanding outcome.

M. Sethuraman has started his career as assistant director to veteran film maker Mani Ratnam and he assisted him in three films. After that he joined Santosh Sivan and did two films with him. To upgrade his skills has always been passion for him and in order to upgrade himself for special effects he has worked with Kabir Lal  for almost ten years. He also did around 20 films with Johny Lal. As independent cinematographer he did  Krishna Cottage, Kaise Kahein, three Tamil films and now Impatient Vivek. He has also been second unit cameraman in many big films such as Jeena Sirf Mere Liye, Mujhe Kuchh Kahna Hai, Partner and Yuvraj. Besides, he has done many commercial ads for TV such as Macro Man with Hritik Roshan and Boost with Sachin Tendulkar along with commercial ads for IPL.  

For this polite and talented cinematographer, lighting and camera angles were very important in the film IMPATIENT VIVEK to give a dream girl like looks to the heroine Sayali Bhagat and to the hero Vivek, a look like any present days youngster who has innocence in his impatience which should blend with the script of the film. While asking to say something about his work he recalls what Mani Ratnam once told to him, “never try to do any experiments, always follow the script and go with the script.” He always tried to follow this GURU MANTRA till now.

He is also happy that for this film he has been provided the camera equipped with latest technology in which he used Master Prime Lenses for superb results.

M.Sethuraman, respectfully known as RAM JI among his friends and well wishers, has an extra ordinary stamina to work tirelessly. The whole unit admires his dedication, discipline and devotion for the work.

            Mahak dosti ki ishq se kam nahin hoti,

                                                  Ishq pe zindagi khatam nahin hoti,

         Saath agar ho zindagi mein doston ka,

                                                  To zindagi jannat se kam nahin hoti.

In ankhon mein aansoo aaye na hote,

                           Agar tum peechhe mud ke muskuraye na hote,

Tumhare jaane ke baad ye gam hota hai,

                                       Kaash tum zindagi mein aaye na hote!!
