Kissa-5-Ideas

My dear friends, Hello,today i m going to discuss about various aspects of Serial Field & one Kissa.These aspects r important for those person,who wanna enter in field & also for curious person wanna know about field.

• Daily soaps (daily telecast one episode of serial) takes almost one & half day shooting with editing. If there is no bank(advanced shooted episode before telecast) then there will be work pressure on producer from channel,which reflects on each & every department-14 to 16 hour dailyshoot/Making & dismantling(breaking of sets)/ Manage artist-dates/Costume for artists(purchase,making,hiring)\Food arrangements for60 to 70 unit people/purchase or hire prop./Hireequipments,jr.artist/Changing scripts according to T.R.P(viewership)\Sending shooting tapes to channel before one day of telecast or ready to pay broadcast fee(approx 75 thousand)if same day sending tape/Late payment from channel.
  

• These all aspects force the producer to be stick on writers,creative head,director,cameraman,art director,designer, jr.artist supplier& equipments suppliers & hence all pressure reflect on Creativity.Those who have work, r busy in shooting almost 28 days a week,making money but neither getting time for families nor creative satisfaction.All feels like machine in daily soap after few days of shoot.Anyway lets start kissa--------

• With these work pressures ,illustrated above, I was also struggling to concentrate on creativity rather than become mechanical, I was chief assistant,doing serial Lucky,shooting in Baroda(in Gujrat),where huge sets of caves,desert,lakes,one artificial plane,bazaar's were placed, In pre production which we have done at Natraj Studio{Andheri(E)},Mumbai,I have taken keen interest in searching costumes,swords,props,looks of character,set designs,--etc. through surfing & searching old magazines,which i have purchased from church-gate streets.I also taking keen eye on script & other creative work.Nissar pervej ,director of lucky had become familiar to me & now encouraging & supporting to me & my ideas. Now ,i also had become familiar tojargon & some realities of field.

• At shoot, I was in charge of prop. & also giving creative ideas,whoever needed,when i gave idea toNissar ji,some time he accept & some time he refused but i was not hopeless & exploring my creative ability,thinking regular new ideas & increasing my creative vision.

• One time, when in a scene a coffin was used, in which Lucky (Gautam rode,lead actor playing lucky) hided & reached at villain's den.Nissar ji was not satisfied with coffin's shape,the art director had made & busy in arguing with him.Inner & outer look of coffin was not looking ancient according to Nissar ji's perspective & looking new one.Art Director made it old one through amber powder,but he leave it as it is from inside then i suggested Nissar ji that we will put one goni sand inside the coffin,Nissar ji is such a person who some time don't answer & reply internally yes or no.Anyway i told setting department that arrange one goni(bori) sand but taking it litely,i don't rechecked the availability as it was not scene prop.

• Scene started,rehearsal was at fulfleshed,Suddenly Nissar ji shouted,"where is sand,Ye tera idea tha na".I was shocked to hear word sand,Meri to sitti pitti gum ho chuki thi,I ran towards setting department as i knew if i will stand in front of him,he will become more & more angry,i thank to god & setting department as sand was ready & scene proceed.

• Later i realised that when two responsible heads of their department r talking then third one should not give idea & if u suggest some thing then ready to fulfill the requirements.

• Ready to read new kissa next Sunday,bye bye & take care.
