Musings of an Idiot

Baddy

Today was the last day of term-2 at school - another term flies away and it is going to be a really busy break with 3 short courses to run: one in each week and there is heaps more stuff happening in post production department. So no downtime between the terms really.

'Chasing Amy' is a magnificient little movie - not because it has any fancy camera moves or flashy editing but because it tells an unusual story in a sensitive and tender way. Kevin Smith's dialogue is as funny as usual but it moves the story forward. It is shot as simple as possible with the camera staying on the characters to follow their emotional journey instead of trying to do anything flashy. The editing is totally invisible and does not feel the need to cut to a scene up into a zillion little places just because it is the convention - it rather stays on and let's things play out so the characters become the main focus of attention. The movie is eloquent.

I just got back from playing a couple of hours of badminton and it feels great. I might try and do some indoor rock climbing tomorrow as I am tempted to try something new. I am signing off for now - leaving you with a couple of pics from the game today.


Till later,
Amit
