Kollam:With the new wave of vlogs, reels and YouTube channels, there is a new opportunity for those doing various jobs in the film industry. Many people are starting to approach production controllers in the film industry for filming that is prepared in a cinematic manner.
The other day, a team came to Kollam to shoot a vlog for Vasanth TV from Singapore called ‘Kadalora Payanamanal’ along with Cinema Production Controller A. Kabir. Remuneration and same facilities as the movie. The work of both is almost the same. In this, instead of the stars, the public will act. Sometimes junior artists have to be organized. Kabir also says that most of them have become good at behaving properly in front of the camera.
He went to the sea with the fishermen and caught fish and cooked there. He went to the cashew factory and copied the work there. Tourist attractions, Kathakali and Kalaripayat were shot. For all this, organizing the artistes, finding a location and agreeing on a decent rent, the experience was just like filmmaking. The filming was done with two and three cameras. From the art directors to the make-up artists, it was like a movie set here, said Kabir.
From Kollam, the group is now going to Kasarkot. Produced by Sundar Ilanchehian under the banner of Perfect Image. Hosted by James Kumar. Kabir, who has been working in the film industry for 50 years, says that this will open up a good opportunity for those working in the film industry. He said that a group from Hyderabad had approached to film a vlog like this.
