Wrapppppppppppp!

This is the buzz word most of us are hearing lately. Even though it makes many of us happy that our work is done, this is when the next phase in film making starts - Post Production. The AA team completed their shoot for the most part especially the cast and crew's work is pretty much done. Everyone is now anxiously expecting the most crucial part of the film making - Editing.

Editing is where all the footages will come in a nice shape. N.P.Satish is the editor for this film. His experienced touch will shape this movie in the coming days. His profile includes movies like Devar Magan, Magalir Mattum, Mahanadhi, Chach 420 etc. It is to be noted that one of the producer for this film is also a close associate of Kamal Hasan in addition to Satish who worked with Kamal Hasan in many movies. From a recent announcement it is an interesting news that Kamal Hasan will be making his next movie using Red One camera that the AA team used for this film.

Director Arun when talking after the movie wrap said, '... now it feels like I had delivered the baby ...'. Thats right he delivered the baby and now its time to take care of the baby so that it can grow up to the next stage. The team is passing off their work to the next group so that re-recording, editing, visual effect etc. can be done. Most of these will be done here in USA.

Red, Red, Red and More Red

It is an old news that 'Achchamundu Achchamundu' is being shot using the Red One Camera. Also I mentioned earlier that this is the first Tamil and especially Indian movie to be shot in Red One Camera. But the interesting fact is that - not just one but 4 Red One Cameras are involved in filming (Can I even say this word?! I guess I can) this movie. At some point of time they used 3 Red One Cameras at the same time.

Director of this film, Arun mentioned in his blog - 'I am sure this camera is going to be a boon for Indie film makers with lot of dreams and a decent budget.'

Speeding Up!

The past weekend was a hectic schedule for the movie crew and cast. After completing the scenes at a major location for this movie they are off to other locations to shoot scenes involving lot of other artists. The famous Bridgewater Temple in New Jersey was one of the location.

Couple of scenes involving many artists was shot over the weekend and during the starting of this week. It was really challenging for the Director, DP and the crew to manage lot of artists especially kids. Things are getting to speed up as we are approaching the wrap for the shooting of this movie. I guess around the July 4th weekend will be the wrap time for the shooting. Will bring you the last minute updates soon...
