The Realisation of a Dream
- Anu Kurien
It has been the realisation of a simple dream that began one quiet night in Singapore. Three friends – a musician, a pianist and a creative director – were discussing life in this, their adopted country. Together they made some music, wrote some poetry and created a montage of visuals and a storyline which culminated in this video album.
Having never made a video before, they found help everywhere from kind people in Singapore. They borrowed a camera, shot visuals at friends' homes and offices, found a stylist in their parish, a hero and heroine from the neighboring parish and recorded sound in a friend's apartment. The only aspect done professionally was by an editor in Kerala.
This is a low-budget non-profit venture that tested their creativity and stretched their capabilities. They worked hard at their day jobs and spent their weekends in this constructive experiment. It is a test of their talent and a humble offering to the community, open to judgment and constructive criticism.
This maiden effort is a precursor of more creations to come. You are invited to participate in this collaborative creative process and travel along with them in this artistic journey.
With pleasure and pride, we announce the release of our first video album, Snehardramayi.
