Big
Monsoon Magic II
22/07/2014
How the monsoon
picture came about is a story by itself. We were in a creative meeting confused
about how to promote the feature in the social media. We did not want to take
any one film still to promote the feature and were looking for something more
generic when I suggested shooting a picture in the rains.
Fayaaz Shaikh was
observing roza and wanting to leave
early for iftaar but the picture had
to be done soon.
I had a recording
in a while and was writing my script when he said it had begun to drizzle and
maybe we must go down. Umbrella in hand we rushed down and that is when it
began pouring! Fayaaz shot me under the colorful umbrella as people passed by.
We were about to turn and take the elevator when on an impulse I stepped into
the rain to relish the moment and Fayaaz who had not packed his camera as yet
clicked me in the rain.
In keeping with the nostalgic feature and the
Retro Radio Station we agreed to transform the color picture into Black &
White. Within moments the picture was viral and the feedback overwhelming.
