Musings of an Idiot

V

I tried to update the blog yesterday but was really tired after a hectic first 3 days at the school and simply crashed into bed. It is the last week of the term and as always time flies away at South Seas. The studio shows are done for the term and all of us went to the pub down the road to celebrate (I had boycotted that pub since late 2004 when we had a big incident with a drunk maori guy). It was a good evening.


After that I went and saw 'V for Vendetta' (after getting a mail from David M, who wrote that he approved of it's faitfulness to the source) and it was an awesome movie. It does stay faithful to the spirit of the comic book and is incredibly powerful, especially the scene dealing with the awakening of Evey intercut with awakening of V. The movie is beautifully shot and moves at a brisk pace, even though a lot of it is not action but dialogue. I am now sure that this movie is a mistake by the studio, which did not know how to back out of such a potentially risky topic/subject and ended up putting it out so that they can make money out of it somehow.

Enjoy some random patterns that I managed to capture in-camera (I did not photoshop the images or anything, except for changing the image size to fit on the blog). It is fun experimenting with the camera and trying to do different things than just capture moments. I even gave the photos a name :-)


Things are progressing well with pre-prod for 'Nowhere to Love' and going through more meetings, auditions and basically production process as well. Time is near to start making critical choices. Anyway I better get off my bed and get ready to go to school.

Till later,
Amit
