Overview
At The Green Hype, we believe that personal projects play a crucial role in fostering creativity, growth, and self-expression within our company. These projects allow us to explore new ideas, experiment with different techniques, and push the boundaries of our artistic capabilities. By embarking on a personal project like "The Perspective of Ravan," we not only strengthen our skills but also deepen our understanding of the cultural and emotional aspects of storytelling.
This project took us to the vibrant Dusshera Maidan, where we captured the essence of the Indian festival through a unique and thought-provoking lens. Our goal was to showcase the spectacle of Ravan's defeat and the subsequent peace that follows, while also exploring the intriguing question of whether Ravan's memory would persist long after his demise.
Challenges & Approach
One of the primary challenges we faced during the shoot was navigating through the massive crowd of over 3,000 people who had gathered to witness the event. To overcome this challenge and ensure that we captured the most compelling visuals, we deployed multiple team members at different locations and height levels throughout the Maidan.
Our approach focused on using long lenses to create a slow-motion aesthetic, allowing us to capture intimate and detailed shots amidst the chaos of the crowd. By strategically positioning our team members, we were able to obtain a diverse range of angles and perspectives, adding depth and richness to the final video.
The result
The result of our efforts was a captivating and thought-provoking video that seamlessly blended elements of horror, self-reflection, and cultural significance. The slow-motion visuals, combined with the moody atmosphere, created a mesmerizing experience for the viewers, inviting them to ponder the deeper questions posed by the narrative.
"The Perspective of Ravan" showcased our team's ability to think creatively, adapt to challenging shooting conditions, and craft a compelling story that resonates with the audience. The project served as a testament to the importance of personal projects in nurturing our skills, broadening our perspectives, and ultimately, enhancing the quality of our work for our clients.
By investing time and resources into personal projects like this, we at The Green Hype continue to grow as individuals and as a company. These projects inspire us to push our limits, explore new creative avenues, and bring fresh ideas and renewed passion to our client work. "The Perspective of Ravan" exemplifies our commitment to continuous learning, artistic growth, and the pursuit of meaningful storytelling.
