Advertising and me

In a cynical take Professor Jef Richards of the University of Texas says "Advertising is the 'wonder' in Wonder bread. H.G Wells says Advertising is legalised lying. Well for me advertising is another definition for passion and creativity. Here is advertising for me in a gist

Like to start as : Copywriter
In ten years you will find me as : Creative Director ;)
Will start working at : Bangalore (sorry mumbai, im in luv wid bnglr)
Turn ons: Ideas ideas and more ideas, colors, stories
Turn offs : copycats, good idea-bad execution

In this post i would like to share some of my works which i did for academic practice. Pls note that these are strictly for academic presentation and doesnt have a commercial motive.

Clik....the new passion !!!

Well if u ask me whether photography is my passion, actually i dont know. I dont even know whether i have a good sense of aesthetics. But slowly after the end of post grad, when i was lazing away tym, dese beautiful frames and lighting for images and al those stuff started running on my head. In a way i started seein each object as a picture frame, a potential photograph. As i am anywy goin to work with a cinematographer soon i thot its ideal tym to brush up my photographic skills. I also planned to buy my first pro still cam - canon eos 550d aka rebel t2i :) . but as i said i had to practice a bit and i have started taking pics in my sony cybershot ( wch is already ageing) but sony z better known for video cams and doh not satisfied with the output, i managed to get sm snaps wid sm amount of depth and satisfactory lighting. I hv uploaded sm snaps in my flickr account, the link to which i hv given below. I hv worked out sm cncpt photography lyk freeze d tym, burning love, I am charged etc wch u can freely comment on. Have a look at it frnds. mostly taken around my home, these pics r my 1st step to the marvellous world of photography

Ithikatha : when the purpose is lost

This is a nine minute short film our team managed to do in just one day. Well we were on our documentary work in Wayanad. Shooting was called of for one day due to transportation problems. We had the camera, I had the script in mind andyes..here is a short movie. Ithikatha the bengali derivation of 'the story', as we have titled it, is the mental conflict of a person who has lost his purpose of life. He is strongly influenced by exitentialist school of thought and feels that he is not having the metaphysical anguish faced by those characters created by exitentialist writers. Thanks to my team - Nithin Mohan and Anees M M (Camera ) and Denny Mathew (lead role, editing).

Sandarsanam- The Visit

This is our first major academic project in which we really undertook serious and professional work. We had lot of hardships to finish this. The work was titled Sandarsanam (The visit), a 25 minute short film ( strictly for academic purpose) inspired from a work of Balachandran Chullikad , poet, writer and film actor, Kerala. The team had M M Anees (script and direction), Denny Mathew (Lead role and Editing), Nithin Mohan and Myself (Cinematography and Camera). This link provided below is from Anees' blog where you can have a look at more promo posters.

Faces of life

Every one likes to have a glance of one self in the mirror every day. Who dont like to have his/her pic cliked on a camera? I was crazy about my looks once and often used to fill my social networking profiles with my diffrent 'gr8' posses :p . I later traded this strong practice of narcissism for sensibility. dis vintage pic looks interesting 4 me..some of my transistions over 3-4 years. If anyone have der own pic collection lyk dis i will be very much interested to see.
