So it has started all over again .It has been some time since the last short movie i had acted in "The Green".This time again its the same crew with some additions in the acting side.It was one of the most hectic days which i went through in the past 4 or 5 months.Couldn't just rest for a long time today .Was busy the whole day in field work.
I was being told by Venky(Artist) to be ready for another short film that he was going to make.But it would be so soon i didnt expect.
It all started yesterday night Venky and I chatted on net where he gave me an overview of the plot and asked me to be ready by 8:00 A.M next morning .So i got up early since had to drop my sister at her college .came back home and started my yoga practice but was interrupted by an sms from Vinay to report at his house immediately.It was around 8:45 .So i stopped everything started getting ready to leave.
Reached his place by 9:15 where Avinash(Contra) and Vinay were waiting for me already.Contra had been waiting since maybe 8:00 at his place for the shooting to start(was very pissed off).Then we waited for artist .He asked us to move to another Venky's(Banda) House.And On the way we picked up Artist and reached Venky's place .He hadnt even gotten up .He had slept quite late in the morning and all of us went straight to his room and started pestering him . We were just talking the usual chat and Artist and Vinay started to plan for the day ahead.
In the meanwhile Artist and Me had to leave and get a DVD.So went out and when we returned our Main Lead Hero had also arrived there Abhijeet(Bubby).
After a while of planning out the events we started off to our old usual legendary ground Economics in A.U.It was around 11:00 now.Another actor Vijay was on his way .By the time he arrived Bubby and vinay had toured the complete AU to search for the best location for our starting scene .It was very near by but what followed next took around 3 to 4 hrs to complete .
It started with the leaf .We had to show a leaf which has gone spoilt in a tree.Then we had to show it falling to the ground .For this we made artist climb up the mango tree and from there he tried all angles that could best capture this sequence .In the mean while Me ,Contra and Vijay had nothing to do so we were just chit chatting and taking Pictures of ourselves to pass time.then we got tired but these people were still behind the leaf.Another friend of ours had joined by then Kartik.He also assisted us in taking the scenes by holding the butter paper in different angles till his hands started to ache .I don't know how many takes we must have taken but it was around 2:00 by the time we finished over there.
Everyone were damn hungry so we decided to have lunch outside in Alpha Hotel.We went there and ate till everyone was full.and all the time we were discussing about the leaf sequence and the usual jokes from contra on bubby and others were the norm of the time .
We were free again by 3:30 so planned to reach the next spot at Trinethra .Where again we parted from Vinay and Artist who went on to search for location for the next sequence.When they had completed we once again went to economics ground.Everyone was feeling damn sleepy with the work from morning and the heavy lunch which followed .And Artist and vinay were delaying it more and more .By the time they arrived Zeeshan another friend of ours had come to join us.And i forgot to mention that Kartik had fled the scene saying that he would return after 1 hr and we never saw him again in the following day .He must have really got tired.
Then we went to the next spot Of the corridor sequence .where we also added Zeeshan and Guru Tejaswi in the scene .Leaving only Vijay with the camera.Here we spent around 30 to 45 mins.
The next sequence was the most tiring one .We went to Sathikanths house where we had to shoot a sequence where all the friends are enjoying there time watching TV.All we needed to do was laugh and pretend like having a time of our life.But Vinay and Artist took so many takes that for the next half an hour we were just trying different things laughing like mad for no reason some times ,sometimes on stupid jokes which didnt mean anything ,sometimes just by looking at eachother and what not finally .They were satisfied and we shifted to the next spot .
This spot was Teneti Park .We had to throw Bubby into the sea water and thats all .We took it and by the time it ended Me Contra Bubby and Vijay were all wet and needed to refresh .though i wasnt so wet.So we decided to split get freshed up.Now it was around 6:00 in the evening everyone were hell tired .
So we all met at Cafe Coffee Day .There we ate some and drank some stuff.and when everyone had arrived we took some 2 other sequences over there itself.
Then again we had to shift to another place where Vijay had to give his final shot for the day.But after being able to find the perfect spot the camera gave away.Its battery was over.
Then again now it was around 8:45 .We planned to move to my house to finish up th final scenes of the movie at my house .Only Vinay Artist Bubby and Me were left.I asked my Mom and sister to sit in the bedroom till we had finished shooting .So we finished it by 10:10 .Then we packed up everything and I went to drop Artist to his place which was abt 15 mins distance from my house .
By the time i came back home it was around 11:00 i had my dinner and then sat in front of the net .checked my mails and started writing in the blog .But there are many things that i am not writing just because i am very tired and some because i cant mention over here and some because it will just make the post very lengthy.
Its not over just yet .There are still some sequences to be shot tomorrow.And the most important part of is the Editing and Audio Narration part.So
its going to be a busy day once again tomorrow.
But what ever we did today i can say that each and every one of us who were involved enjoyed it to the fullest.There was no Dull moment i can say even when we were down tired we had the energy enough to make ourselves laugh and keep going for the next part.And most importantly these are the times which we will remember for a long time and as a reminder of our friendship......
I hope these moments spent keep coming again and again as long as i live....
