After success of my first iPhone video (Heal the World by Joy of Music) and many encouraging words from all the audience, started exploring more on cinematic movies with handheld camera/mobile. Found Peter Lindgren B-Roll on “A Cinematic Poker”. I was fascinated with the possibilities of the techniques he has used in that video.

An urge/desire to do something in these lines grew much rapidly than I realised. Called Kiran Raj who recently got his hairstyle done similar to the one in Poker video. Sent him the video and asked him if he is interested if I shoot similar but not the same with him. He immediately agreed.

Now the creative part of the brain started functioning at high potential. Wanted to make some thing Indian, and should give a message of love and beautiful relationship. It should touch everyone’s heart and most importantly has to reflect my thought process. Discussed with Saritha, she gave brilliant suggestions & support.

Finalised the theme. A tired and tensed husband finds a solace & happiness with the love of his wife. Met Kiran and Shyla explained the script. Not sure at that moment if Kiran believed in what I was trying to tell him. However, our relationship and respect to each other has made us to work in synergy. Convinced Shyla, saying she is the key person in this video.

My actual purpose of meeting was to explain the script to both of them and start the shooting the next day. Surprisingly completed the whole shooting within 2 hours on the same day. The entire shooting was on iPhone 11 Pro Max utilising all three lenses.

Started editing the clips to make a smooth sequence. Sent the preview (without Sound) to Shyla, Kiran & Saritha. All of them are like “looks good, let’s see after sound mix”. It took another 2.30 hours to compile the whole video with sound. Sent the preview again to 3 of them. Took their feedback & fine tuned and made this.

The initial feed back from near and dear people is highly encouraging. Hope everyone who watches this would enjoy.

God bless All. Be blessed.
