Sri Lanka was good fun. We shot for 3 days at the Sarvodaya Village in Kalutara.
The shoot was exhausting. It was hot, humid and i have come back nicely browned.
there are 7 hours of footage and i have to make a 10 minute film – so editing ought to be fun 🙂
The Andaman leg of the filming is also done.
more on both of these in the coming days.
On the 17th, i had a free day and caught the goodies at the National Museum of Colombo.
The museum ….
The Buddha….
Looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you!
Been wanting to go to sri lanka for so many years! Guess it was a real holidya as well.
Hi Nita
lots of work. have to sort it out in my head first. and then we have another docu coming up in dhule….
Sri Lanka is a must visit. especially if you like fish & meat and spicy food. the climate is brilliant. and the people are nice…. the country is stunning…

yes it was also a welcome break 🙂 gave me lots of peace…
Seven hours of footage and 10 min of film to be made? Sounds like research data that I collected out of which some 25 theses could be made and only 1 was extracted. Such is life 🙂
More photos?
more photos 🙂
but that is the story of shooting for a documentary. the last time i did one i shot 20 hours of footage for a 20 minute film and my editor told me that i didn’t have enough shots.
when i launched the educational channel – a friend of mine who was a Phd frm IIT told me that it was my thesis. it was 6 years of work and put me off my formal phd 🙂
