The written word: Rajeev Jain (India Photo) Visual magic ….
Philosophy
The world just got a whole lot smaller. I'm still in a state of total disbelief. The horrible crimes of the recent suicide bomb explosions have gone beyond comprehension and human logic. How is it that our goals and aspirations can be so different despite the entry of the same mold? Like Father, I am always encouraging my two little angels Abigail Jain (17yrs.) and Kimberly Jain (13 years) to work hard, be fair, be honest, be kind and humane and, above all, be open minded and tolerant of others.
The terrorists who carried out the deadly plan lied cheated, murdered and found that those who do not subscribe to their twisted perversion of the faith and morality.
This is very difficult to be positive, but the future of our children and the rights of a free democracy depends on all continuing to protect the option to pursue what is important and appropriate for each individual.
The total market is in a state of flux. Everyone in our company is struggling to strengthen existing customers and struggling to maintain what they have. Add the challenge of preparing for HDTV and the plethora of options for formatting the equation and you have a difficult situation.
Climbing to higher planes of the industry was not overnight. Originally from Lucknow University and graduated Lucknow and Bhartendu Academy of Dramatic Art (Bhartendu Natya Academy / Bhartendu Natak Akademi), my career took me years of Lucknow, Mumbai to pursue my dreams. And companies have varied among organizations, television stations, advertising agencies and leading articles. Despite all my achievements and of course a variety skills, I'm faithful to my first love, and love for filmmaking.
I believe that the DOP has one primary task: to serve the director's vision of history. Some seem PDO decided to make a different film to the administrator – this type of behavior is totally unprofessional, even silly. I try to maintain a fully professional attitude if you turn 16/35 mm film, high definition 24P or Video. The filming of shooting, I try to make every shot as best he can.
One of the great pleasures of cinema is collaboration. I take great care and effort to put in anything but the best I can on every shot. I try to understand the vision that the director tries to bring to the fore, presenting a vision in all its entirety and make it as realistic as possible, then becomes my only goal.
Some administrators prefer to control every aspect of the image, and at the other extreme, some prefer to concentrate on the direction of the actors and just about to leave the picture to me. Most Sometimes, of course, most FIT director somewhere in between. I am completely comfortable working either.
The Declaration of Principles is another work, of course, and to boost production to keep in time and on budget. I take these responsibilities very seriously as well. Being a director of photography is much more than just good lighting and camera (even if they are primary, of course), is also largely a "management" of employment: you are in charge of a number of individuals, departments, teams, schedules, etc. My experience in producing large and small, from simple to very complex outbreaks give me the experience to handle the various responsibilities and balance.
I am also the head of a large gear as anyone else, but please!
The reality is that you'd better know their customers and be honest with you about your market that makes the most of their business in. The mistake many people make dream what could be and not focus on what it is.
For me, I have an eclectic mix of works. I continue to develop advertising films and music videos.
Personally I think you'd better enjoy what you do and pass as well as you can do anything. I had the opportunity to connect with a lot of great people, both crew and production companies.
I realized that the instinct is to begin to direct my life. I worry about the "what if s", I just I do what feels good and seems surprisingly to be solved. The first rule is true, if it sounds too good to be true …. Hard work is the only substitute for the lack of natural luck, hell not even know how to spell opportunity. As a freelancer, you have to do your luck, you have to sit and think about what type of work you want to do and then make contacts, make calls and find what you want.
There are hundreds of ways to make mistakes and others to go right. Only There is only one objective: Beautiful images that serve the story and the movement and editing.
It was odd year (2009). I have lost a number of points Africa, Asia, Europe and Middle due to a slowing economy, war and terrorism, extremism East.
And finally, this year (2010) they turned 43.
Therefore, if you receive a call from me one day not be too surprised.
MY MISSION
To use my skills, experience and professionalism to provide people with the production of film and undeniable.
Rajeev TAKE IN JAIN s ……
PREP
I work on complex problems in preparation for carrying out simple solutions in production. The location scouts, announces shot, pensions, history, script meetings, watching rehearsals, testing stock, lenses, makeup and costumes, planning and collaboration with department heads – that I wing it. I am preparing to the point that I can use my intuition to respond to the unexpected rise above the plan game and take the film to a higher level.
ADMINISTRATION
What makes me happy – is to work with directors who are passionate risk. If the film is meticulously storyboards or improvisation, preparing to complete, try to unlock what the director has in mind, understand, improve and capture.
PRODUCERS
I know how to work with a producer for one dollar fifteen cents. Whether playing my extensive contacts with the success planning of the crew and equipment, to find innovative and ingenious forms a film, nailing a shot to take – I think there are positions for granted.
CREW
I have the contacts to develop lighting equipment and crew for most companies of any project and experience to delegate and supervise. My List skills and aspirations bigger than the titles of their jobs, but also the attitude to keep the fun. I congratulate the crew to take initiative, love movies and read the script.
STYLE
I hope I'm not accused of. I wish the audience to feel what I shot, do not pay attention to how he was shot.
MARCO
I'm for change. I frame the drama.
LIGHTING
I think there is no better form of light. Each film has its own requirements. Some administrators may want to grade while 360 trucks others do not move the camera at all, others like working with brands and some not, schedule another 20 shots per day, while the other 10. In any case, I have find an approach that strengthens instincts of the director, remains in the production of resources and at the end of the day, lights up the drama.
FORMAT
Whether in the Super 16 HD or 35 mm, I'm agnostic format. I work closely with the director and producer select a format not only viable but also for maximum benefit.
EQUIPMENT
Through my contacts with vendors and rental houses, my collaboration with staff key, and years of running at different levels – I can pay for unnecessary arts production, while ensuring that we needed. But I also find how to maximize what you have.
POST
My work does not end on the platform. I oversee the daily view to release Film intermediate fingerprints. Based on the eye of the RFP is essential to create the finish and maintenance of visual continuity and integrity.
MOVIES
From the classics to the newest version of the horror romance, I know that my films and genres. It is the experience of escaping a great movie that I love. I'm not a gadget heads, not enamored of the plans or obsessed with technical issues. I obsessed with movies that move me and do everything I can be part of those decisions.
During the DP famous …… some
… I Believe
"I confess a fondness for publicity. It is the perfect blend of many skills. You have 30 seconds to sell the public a product or idea by using visual techniques of lighting and camera movement to reflect and comment on current culture. "
"Each director provides a different perspective on the workplace. Its origins are as varied as the products are and that diversity is what makes each one different single job. My challenge as a camera to capture that special uniqueness about the film. "
"I never wanted to be stationed on the ad. I do not limit myself to shoot just cars or table. My experience is still photography, documentaries and drama. I traveled all my life and I incorporate that into my work. Advertising reflect the changing markets and the public. This requires media to recognize changes in the objectives, the actions of the film and accessories, as well as to actively participate in the rapid evolution of digital imaging technology. "
"Filming children is the epitome of spontaneity. You must be ready at any moment something happens. It has everything to do with lighting and planning. You also have to find the right place for the camera so that children can work in a given space must to taste, without much noise and distraction … finger on the trigger. "
"If you know how light it was not matter what you shoot. If you do not know how the light … No matter what you shoot." – The front high-definition filming Fire:
"Photography is the art and craft of the authorship of visual images for movies that extends from design and pre-production through post-production to final presentation of these images. Any and all processes that may affect these images, are the direct responsibility and interest photography. The image is not a subcategory of photography. Instead, photography is a profession, but the director uses in addition to other measures physical, organizational, management, interpretation and image manipulation techniques to perform a consistent approach. Cinematography is a creative process and interpretation, which culminates in the authorship of an original work and not just recording a physical event. The images that the director brings to the screen from the vision artistic imagination and skill of the director of photography work in a collaborative relationship with other artists.
"The film is the process of capturing a vision on film. As both an art and a profession, is a dynamic process that involves the composition of light, shadow, time and movement. For the director of photography This requires a synthesis of technical skills and creative sensibility.
"Much of the work is given between Scouting and the shooting and can be a very tedious process. Ultimately, if the book shows that behind the scenes in the final product, I think that the work was not in vain.
Q & A with Rajeev Jain ICS WICA Indian film picture
Photography Director India, Rajeev Jain, WICA ICS is a filmmaker based in Mumbai, India. Rajeev Photography specializes in television commercials in 35mm film and HD digital film. Rajeev started in the early days of the music video revolution, before venturing into narrative cinema. His eclectic work includes the Army, Badhaai Ho Badhaai, continue Pandu, Kadach, Kalpvriksh – The tree of desire, Mirabai Notout, Pyar Mein Kabhi Kabhi and Rasstar.
Q: Where were you born and raised?
Rajeev: I was born in Lucknow, India. There is no significant event that happened to me as a young person who inspired me to become a filmmaker. This was certainly not the quality of light in Lucknow. I remember it was gray, dark complexion was of the circulation and the dark sky. But as I say that I am aware of the platform out of place affects me emotionally. Saturated cons jumped as neutral, as in a dream or a nightmare post-industrial.
QUESTION: What are your parents?
Rajeev: My parents were only ordinary people. I do not think were particularly ambitious for me. His main concern, I think, that I was not an embarrassment. We moved to re-Etawah and Lucknow, where I completed my studies. My degrees were in Performing Arts.
Q: Do you have a career goal in life right now?
Rajeev wanted be a writer, but as Rakesh Mohan I was thinking too much and too little writing. Too say I was a player, then a writer, scholar, poet and more. I was very interested in semiotics and structuralism (The study of how the language of the ideas of code). Initially, he studied how language spoken and written work, but are more interested in how the codes have worked in other languages as the language of the film. My interest in film language I took a pretty complicated to cinematography.
QUESTION: That's interesting. Can be a little more specific?
Rajeev: I turned very interested in understanding how to modify the light, composition, camera angles and camera maker of the movements of changes in public perception visual event and thus the viewer's emotional response. It is difficult to quantify. I do not specifically remember thinking back to when I see a child Pather Panchali, and how their images were always in my imagination, not only for its sublime beauty and magnitude, but because it affected me emotionally, to achieve a chord, but unconscious. Later I saw that Ray "The Apu Trilogy." I had much the same answer, but now my understanding has been informed by my studies. It is fair to say that photography of these two films, Subroto Mitra, are those who have most influenced my decision to become a filmmaker.
QUESTION: How to connect between words and photography?
Rajeev: Writing essays and articles on film. I realized that the images of the film works much the how spoken and written language functioning. You want to express some ideas. It is understood and accepted culturally codas. These forms, which we call letters, agreed pronunciations. These letters form words. These words have agreed meanings. But it is obviously arbitrary. The word "cat" is not innate "catness" about it, but this word the listener is the idea in his brain. A cat. You can then add adjectives and adjectives, to make a black cat or black cat angry. These are words key, but not universal codes. They are specific to a culture that shares in that language. Photography in some respects a more complex language. The denotation (Specific) or connotation (symbolic or implicit) meaning of an image can be ambiguous, but also complex. Perhaps the best analogy is the literary haiku. The words have more meaning lower potential – the words that are added in literary forms, the more specific meaning. An image provides both specific and non-specific meanings. You can work in multiple layers, consciously or not.
Q: Have you had any mentors or were completely self-taught?
Rajeev: I learned a lot of other DPs. But it is mainly based on the study of his work. Ashok Mehta and I talked a lot and gave me a lot. But I was self taught. I studied art extensively, especially the artists of the century and early 20th century artists in the late nineteenth century. I learned about light from them. I won a idea of any good film I've seen, no doubt. Especially the work of Subroto Mitra (CSI), Ashok Mehta (CSI) and Binod Pradhan Santosh Sivan (CSI).
QUESTION: Is it to himself as an artist, a technician or both?
Rajeev: I think it is a very important distinction. I do not want to sound pretentious, but if one account the nature of art, is intended to give us new eyes to see the world. I want the audience to react viscerally that our intentions are in a movie. I think the film works very much like the music because it is difficult to measure or quantify what the public responds to what we do. So it's an art. And those who practice must be artists.
QUESTION: How is the analogy of music and film.
Rajeev: I can sit in the newspapers and watch others to see movie with me physically and emotionally respond images, but it is very difficult to quantify what they respond. If you look at the people who listen to the music, can respond, but you would be hard to quantify why they react.
QUESTION: Let me borrow a phrase from Subroto Mitra, who said, Director of are the authors of photography images. But this is not widely recognized.
Rajeev: Part of the problem lies in our collective culture. The films are examined in the theater rather than as a unique art form. Critics talk about scripts and performance. They talk about things they understand, but understand that because their own cultural background is primarily in the traditional theater, but can not recognize. In this context, movies and music are not included, except to say they were beautiful, because is a language developed especially critical description. Unfortunately, many commentators do not recognize how decisions made by the director, photographer and composer has had a profound impact on visceral reactions and intellectual responses to the public. I'm not saying that the filmmakers are not recognized. We are, at least in the industry, but not in the mainstream media audience. I do not think I read a review which mentioned the importance of Subroto Mitra (ISC) the decision to use 16 mm format and other scenes in the river, but had a profound impact. I think this is an important decision remarkable artistic indeed essential understanding of artistic treatment cinema audiences.
Q: The collaboration between managers and directors of photography is unique.
Rajeev: One important thing is that the filmmakers are working to integrate their vision of a film with the director's vision.
QUESTION: Is the music of many videos you threw influence today?
Rajeev: Not really. None of my films are like music clips, but the good thing is that we can music video experiment with different lighting, film types, lenses and filters. We decided to try to put four filters in the current target process, the film, or put a negative through a process of post investment film to see how it goes and then try again in the opposite direction. It was a great way to learn.
Q: Are there any other filmmakers, whose work to follow?
Rajeev: I can cite all the obvious names, but the truth is that learn all filmmakers. I can see a television program shot by a filmmaker 29 years and find something he or she has that is very interesting. I am constantly learning others. I still read all the magazines and newspapers in the film and photography that I can get my hands on. I studied art. I collect books of photographs and paintings. But this is not just the good work that others do that I want to learn. I learn from my mistakes I had ample opportunity to do over the last 20 years. When my Adam's son was in seventh grade, he wrote an essay in which he was obliged to say who was his hero. He said I was. "My father is my hero it messes up all the time, and allows me to see. "So let me mess. I think it's an extremely important lesson to learn. Are allowed to pollute, and you mess sometimes if you're willing to push the limits of your boat.
QUESTION: Is the influence of other mentors your thoughts?
Rajeev: I was a graduate of Lucknow University for a short period. That's where I met Renu Saluja was a very important mentor. He pointed down some interesting roads on film theory.
Q: How do you decide whether something is a movie you want?
Rajeev: At the beginning of my career, everything was offered was a movie I wanted. Today, two things are likely to affect my decision. The first is my first meeting with the director. This relationship is like a marriage that, surprisingly, much more intense. You if you agree with this person for the time they will be together. I think most get along with 90 percent of directors with whom I worked, and many remain friends. The second thing is photography. I am always interested in doing something new and different. If the project is very similar to I did before, and the script is not very large, making it less likely, I'm interested. Sometimes, a project that is so interesting is that it is impossible to resist.
QUESTION: What Say you do for students and other young filmmakers, when asked to share the secret of success? Have you told the truth about grades?
Rajeev: I think we should be patient and do not let yourself believe that things happen quickly. You need integrity and honesty about who you want to be. Thus, even if you fail, you fail with a little dignity. If the commitment and do not, what you have left?

Rajeev Jain, WICA ICS – India Photo / PDO, talks about … Kalpvriksh – The wish tree – Your dreams are just a bit far
Like any artist which, Rajeev was born with an innate talent for honing experience and cultural influences. Born in 1968, his first introduction to the magic of cinema came as he watched his uncle as a projectionist at the Teatro Ravindralaya, Lucknow. "I remember this small screening room and watch movies with my uncle, the Indian filmmaker recalls." It was like watching silent movies because we could not hear the sound in the cabin. I just saw the pictures and try to understand the story. Show Uncle Charlie Chaplin films, which, of course, silent. No doubt that he has put his dream of becoming a filmmaker in my heart. "Originally from India, cinematographer Rajeev Jain ICS WICA studied at the Bhartendu Academy of Dramatic Arts in Lucknow, India.
The day after the end of their studies, Rajeev went to work as an intern in an anamorphic image. Contributed ten films as a camera assistant before becoming a dictatorship of the proletariat. "From that moment, I considered that the camera is like a pen that used to make drawings, "he said." Operation of a camera is mainly due to the composition and rhythm. I also used the device photo of Bollywood songs. It was very primitive. While we were shooting, someone with a watch was all the time pan and zoom. He said: "You have 5 1 / 2 seconds to zoom. It was a great lesson for me, learning to do all the elements of a working draft at this time. "
I thought it was fascinating that the film speak a common language that everyone can understand, "he recalls." This is particularly true for photography, because we are communicating with the public nonverbal. "For me, making a film is as resolving conflict between light and darkness, cold and heat, blue and orange or other contrasting colors. There should be a sense of energy, or the change in motion. A sense of passing time – lights up the night light, which comes in the morning. Life becomes death. Make a film is a journey of documentation and the use of light in the style that best suits this image … including the concept behind it.
The first decision important with respect to the images was shoot in anamorphic (2.4:1) format, as they did in Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree. Rajeev says he likes to manipulate Manika subjective viewpoints and objectives, sometimes in the same framework, but at the same time. In a simple example, start a fire in a topic, then a player is not under the creation of a shot over the shoulder, the evolution of a subjective question – that the viewer sees what the character sees – the goal. "One of my first Kalpvriksh shooting tips – The Wishing Tree Super 35 format, "Rajeev continues." I felt that the film would give an advantage not expect to see in the drama. I felt we could use the broader context of creating a sense of claustrophobia in the cave and composition more interesting Shabana Shabana shows in the world. "She Manika Sharma director, designer Mansi and other creative team members have discussed options for dealing Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree large format, while relying on visual cues such as another drama with a theme unlikely. Although the scenes storyboards Manika, Rajeev used primarily as a communication tool sketches. During filming, the director storyboard blowing remained open for unexpected opportunities. Design "Our production designer and costume Mansi has given us the rich sets and costumes. While pushing two stops in development is not always so faithful to the colors, their cooperation with this technique, we (especially in dinner sequence Fantasy /) to have a hot scene and yellow toward the future, as if that was lighted candle light era, "he said.
In a spectacular scene on, the school principal (Mahabano Kotwal) sits in the chair, looking out the window at the falling rain. "The scene was illuminated by the light of a tough day, an ARRI 6K, "Rajeev said." We light through the window. In light of the door, we used a 4 by 4 mirror is out of frame to right. The light is modulated by the rain on the window, and spread to the book. Collection were "brown. It was a happy accident, and everything worked perfectly with a light. "To fill light on this film, we become very, very little or nothing, absolutely," he said. "I think that the stocks of film we use, if a bit overexposed, you can read the details in the shadows incredibly well. When I saw the picture theater screen 70-feet wide on the dark side death is black, you can actually see the hair on the heads of the actors. I found it very interesting. I hope it works on a subconscious level of the public. "Even Rajeev if I knew I could not get wide for a T2 or T2.8–elected because the Super 35 format has less depth – still wanted this tool to give the story a bigger stage presence. The more negative that allowed him to push the limits. And he knew that the grain would still be acceptable if it remained in Q4 T2.8 flakes inside. "We still use real sources and would not be difficult for our team to continue the approach, he said confidently.
Like many colleagues, Rajeev Jain Director of Photography has many concerns about the changes that can be introduced during the post image processing our electronic age. These considerations are intensified when it comes to a plethora of visual effects, which was the case Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree. "I tried to make a concerted effort effort to remain as involved in post-production as possible – it is sometimes difficult because it is "off to the next task – to work with digital effects and camera optics to ensure that no response would be problems with the printing process. "You do not see all the lights in the master plan," he said. "The master plan which began with shooting was not the light. We were stuck in the back corner with a 35mm lens and had a two-way mirror in the background. Therefore, a technique used Rajeev Jain called a drill. In other words, you are normally shot in a horizontal chamber, and there are horizontal surfaces such as coatings and tables. Coming directly above a fire and details on this surface, which works very well. It does not seem bad. If the light comes from a place that is not normal or ordinary people seem to accept the item was illuminated without actually determine what happens in terms of a source. The shadows fall so they do not end up looking strange or draw attention to the source. You see it on the table then goes on the table and the lights faces at some point. It's interesting because you are not lighting throughout the village. You are lighting environment they are in.
Anamorphic gives you the space within which to do, "said Rajeev." Manika has no problem Filling an anamorphic box in a contemporary image. The story also looks elegiac, it seemed better to put the video uncut rock and frenetic movements of the camera. With the curious distribution, we knew this film would be on performance. All these ideas – and "if it is not broke, do not fix it" – to take account in our decision to shoot anamorphic. To determine an appropriate approach for different visual moods necessary Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree, Manika and Rajeev has decided to largely abandon the regular business of listening to the other films during preparation. "We used a lot of workbooks in reference to other artists working in two-dimensional forms, photography and drawings particularly refers Rajeev. "It was an enjoyable and different preparation. Viewing the videos to see how a particular work stream is great, but this approach does not mean this turn me incredible self-education, which covers photography from 1890 up 'til now. Now, I can not stop buying books. It's amazing the amount of source material for visual reference is there when you get back to basics. These points have been great springboard for us.
The filmmaker also had to avoid reflections revealing picture of equipment and personnel on the surface of the water. With a team disciplined, requiring careful placement of light and the selection of camera angle. He discovered that the plastic put on the distance from the point view lens moves closer to Shawn did slightly distorted images with a touch of grain, which amplifies the light that he and the director wanted Manika. Rajeev also added some thoughts of the characters and objects on the surface of the water to draw attention to the barrier that separates the child from others. Sometimes, the camera takes a subjective position of the viewer, sometimes the public seems to share the experience of Shawn's life-in-the-bubble. "There is no simple formula for deciding when to the public inside the bubble with Shawn. It was a question I asked the director of each shot of every scene. Are we inside the bubble Shawn, or are we Outside Looking In?
I do not think that and, of course not, or administrator or the production company made Manika Sharma Rhombus films. Another photo taken at an old house that we had to Bollywood is to run two power generators at all the lights. When, where, however, I was able to get two-thirds of a long sequence traveling light and reflections in a pool Long Night (cave Shabana). "I think it is a visual reflection of the fact that their position in life can change almost instantly," said. "He's very effective visually. It seems to work in a number of different levels. With this different approach seems to refresh your stay and all setbacks. There is a scene very interesting between Shabana and child who has been held under a tree, and there is a feeling of discomfort and possible attack. It is very ambiguous, but really the spatial dynamics emphasis on feeling. "
There is a great advantage to work on location in relation to a study. For example, the Muslim home told me that a soil real marble. PDO experience knows how to use this fact something that can be simulated in a studio, "reflects Rajeev. Reflectors have been widely used throughout the film, usually side to have some atmosphere on board filling or Keylight and redirect some of that light on the filling. In most cases, it was very subtle, however, a simple reflection of the light. "We use the spotlight that almost nobody EyeLight, Rajeev said." So great is the tension between these three characters. There are lots of inner emotions beneath the surface of this film. I felt that the public should have access to the internal life of the characters, so I tried to move forward Eyelights, especially when placed in close. It has often been done with a small reflector cast in the last minute.
One of the most important aspects include Shabana preview character. "To nail down, we started working on a storyboard artist," said Rajeev ", which has attracted a great council and is also a great artist as well. We told him our thoughts on how Shabana looked and started working. Manika attributes the creation of large part of the appearance Final drawings have since been used to communicate in the hair, makeup and costumes Manika services looking for his eyes. "Part of Guise Cave "Involved the use of a wig, which often obscures the face of the actor – in which the situation makes it an ideal little light." For the hair and makeup tests, I saw that everything seemed incredible Shabana would be difficult to treat for 2 weeks. I had a great big hat and a suit too, so there was a question of whether ever to be able to see really. He said that sometimes, Manika, she was about to become a hair fashion. Very sensitive to the needs of actors, failed Manika hair of the face, then try not to mess with him and work out for ourselves. "
The Kalpvriksh – The Wishing Tree, Rajeev chosen by Vision 200T (5274) for all but the outside at night, and explained that the soft texture of the emulsion non-intrusive files deep blacks, accurate colors and a wide tonal range. Rajeev was Eastman EXR 100T shooting days (5248), using a filter to 81 EF-half and keep the blue cold of winter. Daylight balanced 250D (5246) Overview values has been selected for the day indoors, when it exploded Vision 500T (5279) in most of the interiors and exteriors night. Since filming, the director made extensive tests with different materials in search of suitable thickness and translucency. "It's the same as using a cheap filter on the ice and realized that any distortion or loss of interest is amplified when the optical laboratory "compressed" images in the report of 2.40 point. In addition to selecting the plastic right, it is important to us a great experience with negative images with clearly defined objectives. We went through the filters at least 90 percent of the time.
During filming of the forest scenes with the lead actor Rajeev employed what he called a sandwich of nine light. "Others might call it a light book, but in any case, nine-rebound Maxi gross surface part of the board of the heel, then let the light through a framework for dissemination usually have a network of 216 or light. The soft light that surprisingly had a very good quality, plus some serious blows footcandles. This light is soft enough to penetrate the hair Shabana and I could control the amount of light simply by clicking on different globes out. But it also requires a lot of shortness of breath and gave a lot of space. "Other times, Rajeev direct forest lit the light of several extreme angles." I came increasingly low key, with its front of what I normally would, but the approach succeeded in releasing her hair is natural, yes, all this has been difficult, it worked. I'm just grateful for the scenes where you see Shabana hair back because I could get an advantage for its beautiful side lighting.
When children reach the tree before the peak, production famous production created by filming the actors in front of blue screen and green screen. These elements have formed a digital stock basic plates taken from Ladakh. Harry and an internal Arjun Red chiles and under the supervision of visual effects shots. "I do not think that these scenes may be more credible if we had traveled to Ladakh to shoot the line, "marvels Rajeev." How can you miss when you start with 70 mm base plate? We matched all of these dishes. "
There was a day some scenes here We have therefore decided that the cracks in the ceiling of the cave allows sunlight hard, "he continues." I put posters on the walls behind and let some players bounce the light of the earth. For most, however, the scenes are set in the cave at night – Accommodation by Firelight or flashlights or off imaginary light, which is not connected to anything. For water, I chose to use a slightly light blue key players, but he made no movement hesitant because I felt he was distracted. Blinking in the face of current water. What I have added a slight flicker effect on the walls, I appeared to be more comfortable while giving a little realism.
laboratory work before the final was made by Gemini, which provides daily movie. "After his experience in the commercial world where he works at a monitor all the time, Manika enjoyed watching the movie every day – has opened a new world for her, "says Rajeev." For example, a plan to provide online Shabana at the end of a long shot under the tree. When he saw the video read Manika [TAP track], he is not good at it. It seemed too quick off the ball. He suggested that perhaps the line would disappear in the literature. After a while, as Manika projected onto a large screen and loved instantly. "When asked if this new extension of a good drama on the screen as well, Rajeev smiled and said, "would not surprise me if I said there is a happy ending?"
The filmmaker does not use the broadcast the camera lens, preferring to ease his subject according to the needs of selectively affecting the source of light. "I've never liked movies where the global resolution of changes in the lens visible during practice sessions in the foreground during a scene, "he said." Any case of spreading heavy front of the lens to [actress] Find "best" it's crazy to me. I do not want to see the efforts of the Director of the picture to make someone look good. Instead, I see the character, looks good, and I think what occurs when the actor is both integrated into well-lit scene and a form of flattery. My solution is to reduce the light source, and the image is as clear as possible. Some people think that Primo lenses are too strong, but I like everything perfect. When combined years of research and development on Kodak film stocks, with happened in the Arri lenses and laboratory work with Gemini, then put all this into a movie correctly on the screen, the result is perfection so amazing! If I feel very proud to guarantee a very perfect negative. We may want to spoil it later, and that's fine, but I think starting with some well exposed and sharp. "
With so many treatments necessary to describe the visual perception of Shabana, Rajeev Manika and the need to adjust setup from the beginning events that require more elaborate visual effects. "We're telling a story that we see in part through the eyes of a madman" Rajeev offers. "She's a very bright crazy, but crazy anyway, so there is a sense of fantasy about these visions, but no effects are found in Tradition science fiction. We present a wish list of visual effects for budgeting, but returned four or five times the price of what we expected. This will forced to yield, and that the final decision has been better in the film that we are doing. Most effects are things we've done with the light signals practice, or a combination of these indices with a digital enhancement. "
I'm glad to see this movie seems interesting to look at, but also I'm glad it does not replace visual history. Early reviews are praising Shabana's performance as one of the best ever because it is illogical do everything that eliminates this issue. Many movies these days seem overwhelmed by the effects, but not a Manika say that the kind of story.
When India Rajeev Photo Jain ICS WICA asked if he would do things differently today, the master artist responded: "Ninety-nine percent of the time when I see my old films, I'm sober. It was the best I could do at the time of my life with what he had to work with. The important thing is your life and how they evolve as a human being and artist.

- Little Tree – Yours Kalpvriksh dreams are too far
Twice winner of the Indian Rajeev Jain WICA ICS World Create Special Photo light, shadow, in his latest film Tree Kalpvriksh desires dreams are just a bit far
Rajeev Jain is a way to see that you have an image to its outer limits. In his later years as an assistant, electrician, adhesion and in the last 16 years as director of photography, he developed a visual sensibility and experience.
Rajeev takes its inspiration from directors like Satyajit Ray (Pather Panchali) and DOP Ashok Mehta, ISC (36 Chowrangi Lane) and Binod Pradhan (Parinda) for his use of color and light and shadow to amplify the emotional content of stories. I think the possibility of allowing the characters to make in the dark is a real art, "he said. Ashok Mehta allows his characters to operate in the dark. It becomes particularly if the blacks are really rich – you can see everything.
His work in Kalpvriksh, a film Manica Santiago emerges as a period with an advantage. Rajeev was particularly intrigued by the non-narrative, fragmented writing, because it offers a variety of visual possibilities. Shot on Kodak to give all Unlike outdoor stages, Rajeev experimented with hot water filters and blue to get the look he wanted. The result is a dark journey almost Surrealist in spirit and actions of strange characters in the film.
initial collaboration is essential in a film, says Rajeev.
There are important to me to go through the script scene by scene with the director Manika Sharma, Rajeev said, trying to see what's on your mind. I want to know what the scene says, which is the most important person at that time, and how the characters move around the stage. They also share photos and movies, which gives a visual base to work.
A graduate of Bhartendu Academy of Dramatic Arts in theater and a photograph of principle, Rajeev took a film class. Intrigued by the middle of the movie, saw the opportunity combine their interests in the advertisements of the film. Looking for a way to learn the camera, I offered to help (volunteer) of the cameraman to learn Subroto Mitra trade.
He taught me many things in your package SR, the lenses were, and how to load magazines, "he said. Then I started working on Shyam Benegal documentary on Nehru.
In 1996, Rajeev has the first opportunity to make a movie, the Army, with Mukul Anand. After eight weeks of shooting stress – Every move was monitored.
After six functions, then came Kalpvriksh in 2007, Rajeev has explored a new technique to add visual nuances history. The film has a dream trip to Rajeev wanted to give a dreamlike quality. We tested the filters and a bleach bypass process to give this part Film your own look, "he said." Instead, we decided to use a swing of inclination, a view of the camera attachment that allows the operator modify the development plan. He chips in various parts of framework development, which is difficult to do on a general level because of the greater depth of field.
Rajeev is currently finishing production on the operation of Pandu, a characteristic of a ball in Mumbai, and ads.
