PLEASE USE YOUR HEADPHONES
Hustle bustle of one of the busiest city in the world is impossible to capture in frames, no matter how hard one tries. And it's especially impossible when it's beaten down to a minute.
My actual plan was to film Mumbai for 4 days, spread across every nook and corner of the city. Idea was to capture all things Mumbai - from its people to the soulful streets - from all the religions it brews and the cathedrals of workship to the iconic touristy places - from its slums to the skyscrapers - but as luck would have it, my shoot was cut down by 2 days as I had to rush to Dubai due to some emergency work.
In those two days when I shot, I managed to visit Dhobi Ghat, Dharavi, Asalpha, Koliwada, Mohd Ali Road, Chor Bazar, Marine Drive, Colaba, Worli. But given how hard it is to commute in Mumbai, half of those two days were spent stuck in traffic jams. Nevertheless, did get some intersting footage and lot of learning.
One other learning has been the art of transitions. Like photography that I do, I wanted the transitions in my videos to be - straight out of the camera. It feels more real and organic and the thought process of getting them right when you shoot, makes the whole gymnastics of shooting these videos even more fun. Even most of the sound effects you hear in the video are shot in camera using the Saramonic Mic. It's kind of satisfying when most of these additional content are cooked in house. Guess I need to learn how to compose music now �
