For this Shoot: Line Production, Location Scouting and Management

• 20 days of planning and 10 days of execution
• Identifying this type of truck and booking it for 10 days. Ensuring seamless movement between Kerala and Bangalore, in Art and Logistics.
• Changing Art teams at midnight prior to the shoot. New Art during the freezing December night and the phenomenal challenges that went with it.
• Dropping planned locations and improvising new locations with immediate recces. Permissions, collaboration all on the fly
• Hiring a Himalayan bike, cars and jeeps - transforming their look
• Covid protocols, Shell protocols, Airport protocols, Road protocols for trucks, Police protocols
• Heavy-duty equipment and logistics in both the cities for a massive crew from Mumbai, Bangalore and Kerala.

FUN FACT - We filmed a Sunrise shot with the truck. When we returned for a Sunset shot a few hours later, the road had disappeared. It was all dug up by the municipality. Took the entire film team by shock. Then more improvisation!
