A Different Life

Life is a sum total of varied experiences. And one of them is being in front of the camera....ROLLING.....CUT....it’s a nice feeling to be on the other side of the screen....

The last 2 days were exhilarating. From the time we started our Diamond qualification, we had in mind the intro video that is shown before any Diamond is brought up on the stage to speak. And we knew they will do one for us as well. I have a section in my planner where I kept writing down things that I’d like them to put in our intro video.

As soon as we finished our qualification, we got a call from Amit Tipnis from BWW to finalize the dates for the shooting of the intro video and it was decided as 29th and 30th October. Taru and I have been choosing the right clothes, thinking of the right activities and dreading the shooting all at the same time. 

I have a creative team of people who run my “idea” department and this team is headed by none other than Arpan. I sat with him and made a template of how we wanted this video to look like.

To really get a feel of the last 2 days you must check out the slideshow on the dreams page titled “The making of the intro video”. We had done a profile video at Emerald as well for the corporation, but we didn’t enjoy it that much at the time. There was a constant music in the back of our minds - “we are still not there yet...the goal is still far away...”.

But this time around we believe we deserved it and we enjoyed every single bit of it. Feeling like celebrities...in Lalbagh, on outer ring road, in the lawns, on the NICE highway for the car shots, in the lounge for the Diamond Nuggets interview....it was a new and a welcome experience.
