Where have you been?!

Me (in blue jacket) with Canon 5D MarkII and Canon 70-200mm f2.8 L IS lens mounted on a rig car­ry­ing a monitor, sitting on a fluid head .  Left to right: Shikha Gaher­war (Fourth AD), Shakti Lathar(Lighting Assis­tant), Meethil Momaya(Associate DOP) and Wasim Maner(Writer,  Direc­tor and DOP) 

About six months ago, i dis­ap­peared. No, i did not die, as is evi­dent from this mes­sage, but i did go offline. After a cou­ple of months of absence, a few friends and acquain­tances called to check my life sta­tus. Oth­ers i thank for con­ve­niently allowed me to fall off their mem­ory and sav­ing me the irri­ta­tion of hav­ing to answer “Where have you been??!!”

So i will answer that ques­tion once and for all. For two months, i was help­ing my dear friend Wasim Maner shoot his marathi fea­ture film. Yes, you read that cor­rect. I and Wasim (he is also the writer-director of the film) have shot a full length marathi fea­ture film on a multi-camera setup com­pris­ing two Canon 5D Mark II DSLR and a range of Canon lenses from 15mm to 300mm.

If “How was the expe­ri­ence??!!” is the next ques­tion you want to ask, then i will answer that on Monday.
