JPEG205.JPGKnown for its flexibility and small-size, Heli-cams have off late been in trend in the market to obtain aerial pictures or motion images using video, still or motion film cameras. This technology has helped various astronauts and scientists procure panoramic views of earth, but after understanding the ease with which it allows to capture large audiences and fields, Zee TV used this innovation to shoot Zee Rishtey Awards this year. Being the first ones in the Indian Television fraternity, to use a heli-cam for a shoot, Zee TV amazed the viewers and the artists alike by using this state-of-art camera.

Used to giving re-takes for a particular scene to be shot from various angles, the artists were relieved and happy to have finished shooting a particular dance move in one go with the use of a heli-cam. While the still cameras did their work, Heli-cam was being used at the same time to shoot top angles of the entire evening. With a multi-rotar system that pans and tilts at the press of a button and goes upto the height of a 1000 ft, the use of Helicam made it easy to shoot various aerial stints and gigs done by the artists.

Operated by highly trained professionals, the heli-cam was used first time ever on Indian Television to shoot acts live at an event. An in-built GPS system helps the cam to navigate and shoot at ease and all those were watching the event live were amazed to see a flying camera taking shots. With special features like a battery operated on six motors, and a gyro stabilizer head that cuts the vibration to give a smooth shot, the shots taken through a heli-cam will interest the viewers as well.

The audience is surely in for a treat with some state-of-art technology that has been used to produce Zee Rishtey Awards. The innovation is sure to see a change in the way awards and events in Indian Telly industry will henceforth be made.

Hailing from Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, Firoz Fatma (22 years old) is the first female contestant this season to walk away with the most desired title, that of a ‘Crorepati’ on this life changing game show.

A BSc. Student, Firoz never wanted her sister to stop her studies, so she sacrificed her education due to financial problems. She participated in the game show to win a certain amount to pay off her deceased father’s loan. On the second last day of the game, Firoz had lost all her hopes to make it to the hot seat. But her knowledge which she gathered only by reading newspapers and watching news channels helped her reach the most celebrated hot seat.

After winning a crore an excited Firoz said, “I was very nervous when I wasn’t able to make it to the hot seat in the second last episode and felt I have to go home empty handed. But then I aced the fastest finger first round and made my way to the hot seat. Also, I didn’t feel as the 1 Crore winner until the audience clapped and Bachchanji hugged me. It is a great feeling”.

With the winning amount, Firoz wants to help her family get rid of the loan and study further. She also wants her mother to live a tension free life.

Tune in to witness the excitement of the first female Crorepati of the season on Sunday 1st December, 8:30pm only on Sony Entertainment Television

The slice-of-life film that went on floors earlier this year, initially had the title registered with Vidhu Vinod Chopra who was gracious enough to let go of the title, given his long standing equation with producer Bhushan Kumar.

Says Bhushan Kumar, ” I told Vidhuji that everyone says it would be impossible to get the title from you .But he was large-hearted enough to give me the title on the condition that I get him his favorite Delhi mitthai .The film is now officially titled All is Well”.

KASHISH voted Top 5 Coolest LGBT Film festival in the worl

Only Indian festival to be featured in MovieMaker Magazine’s annual coolest film festivals from around the world

KASHISH Mumbai International Queer Film Festival has been voted MovieMaker Magazine’s 2013 Top Five Coolest LGBT Film Festivals in the world. KASHISH, which debuted in 2010, is South-Asia’s biggest and India’s only mainstream LGBT film festival.

Festival Director Sridhar Rangayan says, “I cannot even say this is a dream come true because we never even dreamt of something like this! When we started KASHISH, we just wanted to provide a platform where everyone could watch international quality gay and lesbian films without shame or fear in a mainstream space. We never ever thought our festival will grow so big in just four years. It is absolutely the hard work of our organizing team and volunteers and the great enthusiasm and support of the audiences. KASHISH not only celebrates good cinema, but highlights hopes, desires, struggles and victories of the LGBT communities around the world. KASHISH is our way of raising the rainbow flag high above proudly.”

In its citation, the magazine says, “Kashish means attraction or allurement in Urdu — a word we’d like to incorporate into our vocabulary”.

“We are truly humbled and happy that our efforts are acknowledged and appreciated on a global platform. While KASHISH being in the top five Coolest LGBT film festivals will surely boost up our morale, we take this opportunity to thank our partners, supporters and Indian queer community whose synergy has taken KASHISH to these heights and hopefully will continue to do so in the coming years!”, said Saagar Gupta, Director of Programming.

MovieMaker, which has been publishing its annual list of coolest film festivals from around the world every year, decided this year to add niche categories like Documentary and Horror/Sci-Fi Festivals, Short Film and Comedy Festivals and Environmental/Social Cause /Women’s Film Festivals, LGBT and Ethnic/National Film Festival and asked their readers to nominate and vote for what they see as the coolest. The definition of coolest was seen as a combination of quality cinema, great parties, alternative venues, shoestring-budget, hyper-indie films, the opportunity to gawk at celebrities and connect with fellow movie makers – a mix that they might not get to see anywhere else! Over four months, they received more than 15,000 votes and used a specialized visual survey platform to finalize the audience favourite winners.

KASHISH was the only Indian film festival be featured in the magazine’s annual coolest film festivals list.

The fifth edition of KASHISH is scheduled to be held May 21 – 25, 2014. Film submissions have already opened and the festival hopes to bring a larger program of qualitative LGBT themed films. KASHISH is the first and only gay & lesbian film festival in India to be held in a mainstream theater and the only queer festival to receive clearance from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

The four successful editions held in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 have screened around 110-132 films from 25-40 countries every year. The festival has been supported by a number of Bollywood celebrities, filmmakers, actors and writers, as well as many international filmmakers and film festivals.

n Einstein & Shakespeare Act! Gaurav Dagaonkar’s promising Bollywood Journey!

An alumnus of the prestigious IIM-A, a music album titled ‘College Days’, and creating his own band ‘Synchronicity’, Gaurav Dagaonkar is fast making a name in Bollywood in the category of upcoming music directors.

Gaurav currently awaits the music release of Shekhar Suman’s directorial debut film, ‘Heartless’, for which he has composed music and says, “I am happy about my music in the film as we have put a lot of soul into it, and I’m confident that the songs will be chartbusters. I can’t wait for the music to be released.” Sonu Nigam, Arijit Singh Sunidhi Chauhan, Neeti Mohan and Mohit Chauhan are the singers who have sung for Gaurav’s composition for the film.

Gaurav, having a strong academic background, has recently formed a band ‘Synchronicity’, which renders mash-ups of both classic melodies as well as current Bollywood and English numbers and is very popular, both on YouTube as well as in the live shows circuit.

“The music of ‘Heartless’, which is slated to be out in the coming month, is the conquering of a milestone” says the talented Gaurav, who has managed to do some work in Bollywood, which has already brought him recognition, but he wants more. Gaurav has been a music director for one of Vikram Bhatt’s movies, and he has composed & written a song sung by maestro, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, which gained overnight popularity for the music video crossing a million hits on social media!

Heartless will be Gaurav’s next big thing, prior to which he has composed for the Akshay Kumar & Sonakshi Sinha starrer ‘Joker’, in which his item song ‘Kafirana’ (I Want Just You), picturized on Chitrangada Singh, became a chart topper.

Gaurav certainly doesn’t want to stop here. The tall & handsome artiste says, “I have always been interested in music right from the beginning. Then Bollywood happened, and I love it here. For now I want to compose songs that will stay with people for a long time.”

‘Wake Up’ to New Opportunities with Monster India

We wake up every morning; follow our usual routine, sleepwalk our way to work, complete our average jobs. Are we happy doing this? The question persists…Do we love our job or just going through the motions of work?

Monster India launches a new campaign ‘Wake Up’ with an aim to jiggle the passive jobseekers to take an action!

New Delhi, November 27, 2013: Monster India, one of the leading online career and recruitment solutions provider and flagship brand of Monster Worldwide today announced the launch of its disruptive digital campaign: ‘Wake Up’. The campaign aims to take Monster’s value proposition of Find Better to the next level thereby enabling jobseekers with Better Access, Better Connections, Better Jobs.

Monster India launched its new brand positioning of ‘Find Better’ with a tag line- Get lucky. Get Active on Monster. The company is all set to move to the next level as ‘luck’ would favor those who look for ‘Better’ and to ‘Find Better’, one needs to ‘Wake Up’ to the new opportunities.

The campaign addresses a vast majority of passive jobseekers who make do with their average jobs, ignorant of the limitless opportunities that exist. The campaign urges them to rise above mediocrity, ‘Wake- up’ to their true potential and capitalize the opportunity.

Commenting on the launch of the ‘Wake Up’ campaign, Sanjay Modi, Managing Director, Monster.com (India/Middle East/Southeast Asia) said, “With the new ‘Wake Up’ campaign we take our value proposition to the next level by giving a wakeup call to passive jobseekers who are somehow going on with their routine jobs but don’t feel in control to change it. ‘Wake Up’ campaign is our effort to reawaken their sense of curiosity, control and optimism and communicate a positive ‘call to action’ by emphasizing that there is a better opportunity out there.”

“The recent global survey conducted by Monster and Gfk, strengthens our confidence that India needs a “Wake Up” call. As per the research, 70 percent people have expressed that they are content with their current jobs but they are not. From the feedback received, it appears that they would like to explore opportunities. Hence, ‘Wake Up’ call is targeted at this vast majority of people who need to make the most out of the opportunity that exists out there,” he added further.

‘Wake Up’ is a unique proposition that uses interesting relatable characters to convey the core message strongly. The serious message of ‘wake up to the new opportunity’ is communicated in a unique and creative fashion with the use of animation that e-recruitment category in India has never seen. The campaign conveys the message in a direct, clean and humorous manner.

The series of ‘unbranded’ teaser videos have generated curiosity about the campaign. All the characters in these humorous teaser videos have been seen trying to ‘Wake Up’ a sleeping man who despite their efforts does not wake up. Today we unveil the main and the concluding video with the main character: a Fish. It is eventually the ‘Fish’ in this man’s dinner plate that wakes him up by talking to him and telling him the fact that unlike the ‘Fish’, he still has a chance to ‘Wake Up’ and take action.

The ‘Wake Up’ campaign has been conceptualized to engage the users. Monster India is asking users to create their own wacky videos on the ‘Wake Up’ theme and upload them online or on social media platforms. The shortlisted ones will be promoted on Monster India Facebook page. Monster India is also set to launch a ‘Wake Up’ application on Facebook to sustain the user engagement.

“We are confident that the new campaign will resonate with jobseekers thriving in the digital sphere enjoying high social media and video consumption,” added Modi.

“We had to come up with a creative idea that would not just make people sit up and notice but actually wake them up. So we thought of several ideas and ways to wake people up. Need we say, we put those many waking hours! We had a ball too, going from fiction to mythology to the jungles and almost everywhere. So while a shrilly opera singer, a bleating sheep and a goofy Tarzan try to wake up our protagonist, we had to go underwater to find the ideal one to wake our guy up – someone more dead than him!”, said Titus Upputuru, National Creative Director, Dentsu Marcom.
