David

Director Bejoy Nambiar's previous flick 'Shaitan' was something special for me. I appeared in one of the film's audience reaction promo's shouting it was awesome without even seeing the movie...:)...anyways that's part of viacom 18's promotion plans...no blames for the director...Now about his second and one of the most anticipated titles of the year 'DAVID' .

Since 'Shaitan' also was a digital film significantly shot on RED One MX ;some bits on Canon 7D and Weisscam for the slo mo scenes, david also follows the same path. David is to my fullest knowledge shot on the better Red Epic by three different cinematographers Sanu John Varughese: who shot the b/w portions of the movie featuring Neil Nithin Mukesh ; P.S Vinod who shot Vinay Virmani/Jeeva portions in Hindi & Tamil respectively and Rathnavelu who shot Vikram's portions. The 300 FPS max.frame rate in the Epic has been extensively used in the three stories from whatever seen from the trailer. The action director's of the movie javed bhai and aejaz bhai are particularly fond of that and i know since i worked with them for  rgv's upcoming 26/11 movie. The Camera's i guess came primarily from Prime Focus and from Just Video + other vendors if any. The whole digital cinema workflow designed and executed by my fellow friend Gopal Balaji.

Edited by the veteran editor Sreekar Prasad, the movie is releasing Tomorrow February 1 2013. The Color grading was done at Reliance Mediaworks Mumbai by Colorist Ken Metzker probably on Baselight.

Sincerely waiting to catch the movie this weekend in Hindi especially for the black and white story. I wished sanu john varughese got the new epic monochrome specifically designed for b/w purposes...but they did it too early :p...All the best Bejoy and Team...:)
