day 2, pre production

I am writing while I am still at work. Goes to show that nothing much happened today. Most of the crew had to catch up on the script, so they have been spending the day reading, while I have been trying to put some of my thoughts about the project on a whiteboard.

An extremely dull day at work. Tomorrow will be better cus everyone would have read it by then and I am sure they will have a million things to say or maybe not...my direction team never had much to say, actually they had nothing to say after watching 'confessions'....so I'll be surprised if they have anything to say this time round....

sigh...."you guys can speak up you know...its a free country..."

So to encourage that, I will have a team script session tomorrow....that will get everyone on the same plane as far as the script goes....meanwhile my music director says he has a new tune coming up....keeping my fingers crossed on that one....

Have also let a leading art director read my script...I want him on the project, he is easily the best in the business right now and it will be a first for amigos if we hire a art department like his...lets see what happens with that.....

thats it for now

Coolio....hopefully there'd be more progress on the morrow.
Btw,Cheetah says "what does an art director bring to the table?"

Anyone throw some light on the arty side,plz?

art director puts the sets together typically ... his job is to physically transform you into that era , dream world aka saawariya :)

exactly, in simple words a director can imagine what he wants,the art director translates that mood and look into tangible physical existence...set is only a bigger visible thing but he also designs the properties that exist in the frame with respect to the social cultural economic and geographic context of the story... ok please that was'nt from the school book...i think there is a fee for all these things.. swapnil you need to buy two tickets more for this information!!...
