you finally make the decision after deliberating for more than a year... a decision that is going to change your immediate life... a decision which was very very difficult to reach... then you find out that this was actually the easy part... now executing that decision is much much more difficult.... you can just go and do it... but that will leave such a bad taste in your mouth ...you dont want to do it that way... so you will have to wait... wait for the things to fall in place... all you can do is to see to it that everything goes that way... you dont want to rush ... you dont want to spoil things in the process... then you start to see things working out... first one... then another... and another... you are kinda excited... and scared... you can see the next chapter of your life staring at you... and you get those last minute pangs about whether you are ready for it or not ...then it happens... everything starts falling apart... all together...before you realise what is happening it is gone... so now you are again busy rewriting this chapter yet another time... next chapter has to wait for some more time...
every bone in my body is hurting and some muscles i didnt even know existed.... it was one the the toughest shooting schedules i have been to.... we had to finish 7 stories in one day.... but it was also one of the most satisfying shoots ever... i am moaning and groaning but cant stop grinning... didnt get time to take too many stills... posting just 1 pic now... too tired tonight... rest coming up...
i am really really looking forwad to tomorrow's shoot... i havnt been this excited about shoot for a long time... and i love shooting ... the camera gives me a high like nothing else....
one reason is that i wanted to be part of this project from the start.... but couldnt cause the whole thing is in Marathi... starting from the interviews of people... now i know all of ten words in marathi... so... but now we need to shoot the docudrama.... no need to know any language... yippeee yippeee yea yea...
but i am more excited because this is not going to be like our normal shoot.... its not about utilitarian shots where we need to show something... or those shots that evoke emotion...here each shot needs to be wow... the frame the colours the lighting needs to tell all... they have to be stark... a stillness in each shot that will slam into the viewer... wowie... am itching to start...
and the location... those old houses at vasai villages are beautiful... the walls... wooden staicases... the swings... the tiled roofs... the full length windows... each has a story to tell.... i hope i get some time to take stills...
thats the only bummer... we will be in such a tight scedule trying to fit in 2 days of shooting into one... but if we can just juggle the time... boy oh boy... we will have a sure shot winner in our hand....
so i better get back to work now and make sure everything is ready for things to go smoothly tomorrow...
