Crownish dwitiya- this is really long!

a brief timeline of whats been up since my last post:
2nd: dont remember, I think I was at a friends place shooting for a project
3rd: internet subscription expired. Woe! The Prestige download paused at just 16% remaining.
4th: again, shooting for the project,sometime in this period when shooting for proj:
we shooting at marine drive, crowd not there and we gt a damn good idea for a shot. we're all set except for the actors aren't there. I was waiting with Codename PP, T the Camera and V the D. T the editor doubles up as driver and he'd gone to fetch the actors. PP was thirsty and there was no shop around for a distance. But a guy sitting nearby had a bottle. So I go and ask the guy, and he obliges.
Not only tht but he asked us to keep the bottle with us. How dumb!
By the time the rest of the actors:K&C reached location, a crowd of stupid cheap labour biharis had gathered. Bastards trying to get in the frame with their ugly ass faces.Since PP was in the ridiculous costume, she looked like one of the back up dancers frm Lage Raho Munnabhai and some of the dumb arse crowd was saying so.
The shots, very small, took a long time to shoot and oour actors sucked big time.
They were simply sad. Not PP though.

We changed a few shots because of the lighting and convenience and crowd etc. That kinda screwed up the plot a bit. Shots for the ending we couldn't shoot all because one of our actors had a scheduling problem and had to leave. One of the special appearances had some problems and could not honour his commitment so we reworked the script there, turned the character into a miniscule one, cut out the dialogues and shot with me instead. Very excite!.
The bar scenes were shot reasonably well. K was ok. C was dumb, the script demanded it and he's dumb anyway's so no problem there. V was brilliant, didn't see that coming and it knocked me out. Can't say anything about T, not my field of expertise but for all the pseudo talk, hope T's done it well. But what can I say abt the HipnHep Tamilians?! Praise for them,is just not enough. Brilliant, marvellous, excellent, what do I say about them?

Around same time: A went to Goa. A came back. A bought lots of booze. A is great

11th: Shooting for David's photography project took me to the Mazgaon Hill. Mazgaon Hill is in Mazgaon. Dockyard Road station is built on one side of it. A water tank which supplies water to Dockyard, Sandhurst, Byculla, Reay Rd, Mazgaon etc is built on the hill and a garden is built on/beside the tank. From this garden, one can see a big chunk of South Mumbai. BMC,CST,BSE,Gateway on one side, the docks and the ports, with ships all over the scene, you get the picture. I entered and was on the look out for boards which said photography prohibited. I found one board and that didn't say anything, so went on and started clicking. I took pictures of Sandhurst with CST in the background, pictures of the docks with all the little ships in the sea. I took pictures of a tree with its branches spread out in the air. I was then apprehended by a cop who ntold me photography was prohibited. I challenged him and asked him to show me the board. He showed me a board with a line tucked away at the bottom behind the grass with print in Marathi which declared the word of the law. I showed the guy my ID and told him about my project. He asked me why I had pictures of such sensitive establishments and informed me that it was very incriminating evidence, enough for me to be booked under POTA or some other arcane insane law which our dumbass forefathers or bitch ass current leaders thought of. After not much begging and pleading and deleting of the photos he let me off with a warning. After that I started pakaoing the cop for details about where I can get permission from for shooting at this damn garden. I pakaoed the poor guy so much thtat he asked me to shoot and leave soon as I could. I decided not to. Needless to say, my project was fucked.
Same night, A and me took a long walk round Dockyard. We went Docks side. Found a bar quite close to our place. Very excite! We went towards the Ferry Wharf till we reached the no entry for civilians. Found another bar there but a bit pricey, so no excite. We saw where the goods train comes out from. That was damn neat sight. A train right in the middle of the road. We were 20 feet from the tracks and we didn't even see it sunk in the road.
Later that night we got drunk. i was 1 quarter down when a prof called to cancel class. I was lightly buzzed, but I didn't do anything stupid. Started at 7.First session till 8pm.3hr break. Resumed at 11. Went on till 2. Puked. Passed out.Woke up late next day. Real late.
We found out that our internet had been renewed on the 6th and one week of connectivity had been wasted.I waited at a bus stop for a good 30 mintues before I read the tiny notice which said that the road was closed. Went to Crapas's place and shot a few pics for my project. While coming back had to wait at a bus top for 45 minutes. I was among the few on the bus and the conductor informed me that the bus wouldn't be going till the last stop but will stop at a depot before it. A ticket checker came on board and I couldn't find my ticket. I searched all my pockets and came up with quite a few tickets but couldn't find the right one. Since it was almost midnight he let me off with a warning. Me lucky or what! Since then I found two tickets in my wallet. Could be any one of them. I wonder which one.


14th: Valentines' Day. Orkut had a stupid design on their log in. That and the tiny police team outside the college were the only indicators of Valentines day. I think there should be a St Anger day or a St Mars day(ref to William Brown by Richmal Crompton) to celebrate hatred and war. But i still have lined up a song \which I think is neat for a love song. But mostly its the solo which kicks ass.
Asmodeus and Luvdmarijuana and I went to this place opp BMC where they teach self defence through martial arts. Both of them got their asses kicked. And I have it on video. It was funny. But the files too big to upload, so the world will miss out on some really funny moments.



15th: D Day
I completed my project. Made two versions of it. One with Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles as a soundtrack and another one with Magic Mammaliga by O.M.F.O. (Borat OST) as a soundtrack. I presented the OMFO one. It was well receieved by the class, the GTA Mumbai especially.Dont care about wat david says cos I'll be marked by the class.HA!Here's the link for it:

Biney had a good idea but bad execution.His Point Of Departure was totally unexpected but he refused to touch photoshop to touch up his pictures.Aaron just put all his work in moviemaker with a song. Could've done more.Saddens me to see him waste time and not put in effort. The depression and loneliness themes have become a pain and make my eyes sore. Which is one reason why Charusheela's presentation was a pleasant surprise. She had a photogenic model, varied settings and used natural light very well.
