Short Film - Complaint Kandasamy

This was my first attempt at making a short film, back in 2008, for a competition at my work place. The topic given was 'Accountability'.

Without getting too much into the nitty gritty of professional accountability, my take was that we could learn a lot from our Moms in this regard. The idea was to keep it superficial and light hearted.

It was shot and edited hastily. It would have not been possible without the support of all those who have worked on this. Many thanks to the team ( Gauthaman, Jayakumar, Bala, Meena kumari).

Constructive criticism is most welcome.

Here's one for space management !

Took this picture using my mobile at Koyambedu signal. Scenes like these make the otherwise boring wait at the signal interesting.

The Human Zoozoos !

Zoozoos- Sounds like the south African Zulu tribe. Well, its a kinda tribe also originated in South Africa, but not for real. The Vodafone ad that has been hitting screens this IPL season features these little ‘creatures’ that look like white dolls with an egg-head. They are interestingly named as zoozoos.

Initially, it was quite puzzling to sort out if the zoozoos were animated digital dolls. I was really curious to find it out and ended up learning that they were actually humans performing impeccably as zoozoos.

There is a different movie for every service advertised, beautifully conceived and executed. Hats off to the ad agency O&M for pulling out a classic!

Watch the commercials here

What Kind of Zoozoo are you ?

Edit:

Watch this making of video

Amazing video.....too good to be real! I guess some of the stuffs are CG work. May be I am blinded by the brilliance !!

Vada Pav : How to name it ?!

Of all the controversies and chaos surrounding the nation at this point in time, there is something brewing hard in the Maharashtrian politics. It might not sound like an actual issues but it is one and may well decide the future of the state. No, am not exaggerating. Recent days has seen a bout of debates among political parties. The crux of the matter is- How to name Vada pav, the Maharashtrian way ! Amusing isn’t it!
The Shiv Sena, in the process of collecting the region’s trust, has gone some way and proposed to have an association of Vada Pav vendors. It also feels the compelling need to change the generic name to something ‘native’. Initial discussions have lead to several innovative ideas and one among them is to name it after Chathrapathy Shivaji. Now, how does SHIV PAV sound?! Cool isn’t it!

Some more interesting names proposed are, Pune Pav, Mumbai Pav, Uddhav Pav, Raj Pav, Maha pav, Bal Pav, Marati pav, Hindustan Pav. Even McDonalds in India have applied for patenting their new products- McPav, Pavizza and Pav Wow!
Why Vada Pav the target now and what is it btw? For those who have little idea about it, it is a snack quite famous in Maharashtra that people can’t live without. It usually consists of a Vada made of mashed potato sandwiched in a loaf of bread/bun: as simple as that. It is believed that Vada Pav was invented in Maharashtras in around 300 BC.

Who would have thought that even a snack can be politicized?! Jai Hind!
