Testimonials
Working in the film “Kammatipaadam” was a real eye opener for me. It helped me in understanding the different stages involved not only in the process of editing, but film making as a whole. I got the opportunity to see what really happens before, during and after the shoot of a film. The roles that different people play to make sure that the final product comes out perfectly astonished me. Till now i had always heard people say that a film was a director’s dream and had believed in that phrase too. But after kammatipaadam this notion has certainly changed. I have come to realise that a film can never be truly made unless the whole team involved in its creation works patently. For me film making has become a journey in which the dream of one individual slowly becomes the dream of the other who gets involved in making it a reality. And thus begins the creation of an extra ordinary film.
The whole experience provided me with knowledge that has definitely improved my skills as an editor and has given me a thorough understanding of the post production work involved in the process of film making. A film is never made alone by an individual. The beauty of the film can be felt if the team involved in it, work together with the same passion that is expected of them. And it is because of this that Kammatipaadam is one of the most beautiful movies i have seen.

Film Editing
It's more important for you to learn what to make movies about rather than how to make movies. After joinig the sets of kammatipaadam i understand that beyond technology there are much more things to learn. Cinematography is not about handling high end camera and accessories. Next best thing is 'Learn from the Masters'. We had some good inspirational and motivition interactions with Rajeev sir and Madhu sir. They inspired us with their views and visions and how they achieved it and motivated us to mould our own style.

The most importat thing that i learnt from working in Kammatipaadam is knowing how to be a genuine film maker. A good cinema is a result of team work. In our set all helped each other to the best to have the greatest creation possible.
