Done!

January 21, 2006 · by sudhishkamath

Yesterday was really special. Super special.

It marked the end of a journey that’s taken over six years. I would like to believe I’m done shooting for That Four Letter Word.

Yes, yesterday was the last day of shoot. Now I think I have every bit of footage I need (of course given the constraints of budget) to finish the movie.

I wanted to post a long, elaborate thanksgiving note but I guess I’ll save that for later. Too tired and maybe a little too early considering that we still need to finish the final cut of the edit and wrap up dubbing by the end of the month. Looks like I’ll have a movie on my hands by mid-February. And once its done, I might have to write a bible if I were to mention every single person who has contributed to get us here. I hope to do that too post premiere.

For now, I got to get back to work on the movie.

Just wanted to share my relief and happiness at having completed the entire shoot, including patch work this time.

Finally! πŸ™‚

    Another Engima.

    Over the last 6 years, I was tempted to belive that your dream movie would never make it (given the obstacles you have had to face and the number of times you had to re-shoot) but i continued to belive you could. Afterall thats what you did to bring Enigma to life.
    ‘Perseverance pays!’ Glad it did with you too. Good luck with the project and hope to see it soon.

    6 years, 1.5 years a letter in the 4 letter word, really shows that you have patience, will, craziness and as sekkappan put it “Perseverance pays” da. As you know, I would not appriciate you normally, but this time, kalakku machi…I don’t think I would be in India to watch it in theaters, but I promise to buy the DVD or the PPV if telecasted (and not thirrutu VCD or dumeel downloads) and yes get working on the thanking bible too..after feb :)…

    My reason for visiting your blog was: I read your bottomline for Emily Rose – perfect date movie?!! Whatha f***!? Do you have a girlfriend, and if you do does she want to watch this on you date!!! If she does – whachout bro!

    I have something for you now that **** is over…..

    http://www.metroblogging.com/

    I honestly think madras should be somewhere in the list. The city is happening, we have a sizeable population of great writers and dho not as fanatic as mumbaiites, we display gentle fanatism for the place. Marina, Elliots, JJ,KK, kutcheri season, ECR, hot auto meters, JRO, saarang, Koovam…… Do we need more reasons? What say?

    Hi I happened oread your review on E of ER, today!!! I also read another review where our author called it a “loser of a movie” ! Wow! Funny how opinions differ but in such contrast, I see it for the first time!!! Besides, who would take his gf on a date to watch a horror flick??!! Yeah but the screaming and burying-her-face-in-your-chest part would be romantic though!! πŸ˜‰

    Thank you sooo much people!
    I wish I had the time to thank each one of you personally but I promise to do that as soon as I finish and do become worthy of your wishes.
    All thanks will be distributed in the form of preview tickets. πŸ™‚
    Ensoi. Or do i say Endure! πŸ˜‰

    Hey Sudhish,

    Now you can go on to your next big venture, maybe, the search for that elusive Companion to share your accolades and agonies. Best wishes always with you and my your sky be sunny and bright.
