Amateur digital film making
Sometime back, Keerthi and I had a telephone conversation about the changes in film business - notably the entry of ADAG, PVR, Pyramid Saimira and the types. Keerthi had an intriguing proposition.. “Adhellam irukattum PK, as a movie buff, I am disgusted with the kind of films dished out.. Naan enakku venungra padathai eppo epdi parkuradhu.?
To be precise, his idea of a movie project is a Kamal Haasan, Mani Ratnam combo, with music by A R Rahman, produced by Avyukta Talkies and funded by all the movie buffs of this planet… or something similar.
Well, I don’t see that happening in the immediate future. Even if it does, that movie can turn out to be very different from Keerthi’s expectations because its not entirely in his control.
This morning whilst in bathroom I had this thought.
It’s very well known that bloggers can be musicians (blogswara), what if some bloggers turned to digital film making? At least the animation movies, if not the full fledged films.
Probably Keerthi can script it, can assemble a crew of amateur 2/3d animators, artists, compositors, modelers to make a cool animation movie that he likes with the script he loves. For once, this can be made at one’s free time and at absolutely zero or very negligible cost. Only stuff required is abundance of back-breaking effort and loads of passion. Of course, Avyukta Talkies can produce this film and premiere it via You Tube to the entire world.
Even if Keerthi gets busy, I guess this is something worth checking out by bloggers in general, if not done already. Instead of saying all Kodambakkam movies are crap, why don’t we do something about it during our free time?
PS: How come I get all these original idea only when I am in the bathroom?

Not sure if you heard about ‘Achamundu Achamanundu’ ! It goes in that lines. I am sure you are aware of the director !
That said, Yeah, why not. You post inspired me. I was thinking in these lines, to put Video posts in my blog…!! but..yours is one step higher.
I am sure we can work this out. Takes time and energy! Most of us have a source of income…and If doesn’t come on the way we can do it..!!
Knowing Keerthi - He is the Manirathnam among Blogger..IMHO!!
Example - My mom told me yesterday..that my 93 year old Grandma asked her about he story that Keerthi started and stopped a few weeks back. The first part of the story was so interesting..that many people I know of thought Keerthi was a great story teller !

Narayanan Sir,
idhu vandhu oru high level idea..
nalaiku arambikara matter ellam illai for sure..
But we can definitely think on these lines, identify good talents (for e.g animation talent) to make this happen.
About Keerthi, i fully agree
