I have never been a "job" person. It wasn't my cup of tea to follow a particular routine. Get up in the morning, go to office, come back at time, nah i was not capable of doing that. Neither i was a "business" person who have work related tensions all the time. That's why i chose to be a freelancer. I love working on projects. Hectic schedule while working, and then a good break, which also pays well.Following Malla's advice I went through my mails to see if there is any interesting project waiting for me. After going through the list, Bam! I found one.
There was an offer for set designing for a musical video of one of the well known singer of the country in Mumbai. I quickly sent a mail of accepting the offer and asked other details of the project.
Soon i received the confirmation letter with rest of the details and did the rest formalities.****
After landing in Mumbai, i checked into the hotel booked by the company for the crew. I wasn't really tired after a 'not so long' flight, so i decided to take a shower and then head towards the location of the set. I had already figured out in mind what the set would look like, but when i reached the location, i was shocked. Damn, it was totally different from what i was told.
According to what i was told,
The song was romantic and had to be shot in 60s backdrop in some forest or dense area. In the middle of the forest, there had to be a small hut where the actor and the actress would make love.
But here it was a big ground type area, where there was supposed to be a "forest". In the name of trees, there was only one tree in the middle of the ground. I walked upto the Director and argued that this is not what i was told. He simply shutted me up by saying "you'll have to manage ma'am, we don't have a choice."
All my plans were spoiled.
I left the location and returned to the hotel.
I switched all the lights off and sat beside the window looking at the busiest city of the country. I played the song on my phone for which i came here.
A nice peaceful song, creating a intimate environment.
Within no time it finished and i replayed it. The whole night i was listening to the same song, thinking about the backdrop which goes well with this lovely song.
All mixed thoughts running in my mind. Sometimes im thinking myself with Sid, and sometimes im thinking myself with Dil.
Suddenly a vision came into my mind. Stairs leading to a small wooden house,which seemed abandoned for years. A single candle lit inside, taking away the deep darkness of the forest.
I immediately got up, took my sheet and drew that vision. It looked perfect for the song. But challenge was how to make that in that ground.
*****
After a week of hard work and sleepless nights, finally the set of my vision was ready. Not only in terms of money, but great efforts were put in, well coordinated by all the departments, as the color matching to the actors dress, lightnings according to need if DOP (director of photography).
Even the director appreciated my work and said it was exactly what he wanted.
" this is an amazing set. Who has designed it?" i heard a man asking to the spot boy as i was passing through. I Couldn't see his face, but he was a hottie holding camera in his hands.I stopped and smiled as i was loving the fact that everybody was appreciating my work.
"Amarah Bigot has designed this set." the spot boy said pointing towards me.
The man turned to looked at me.
I was shocked.
DAMN..
What the hell was he doing here.
I changed my direction and started walking away from him, unaware of where i was going.Then i saw the director and the producer both talking to each other. Taking long steps i walked up to them and asked to leave for Delhi today itself.
"No ma'am, you cannot leave today. The shoot will be over by next two days. And you have to stay here till the shoot ends. We need you." the director said.
"please understand. I have to leave, today." i said.suddenly i felt someone tapping on my shoulders. I turned around to find him.
"oh, hi Dil. How are you ?" i said with great nervousness and shock on my face.
"hii, this is an amazing set. Truly awesome. And i appreciate that you could make this set on such a location. Hats off " Dol said smiling.
" that's the reason we appointed her. No doubt you're the best Miss Amarah" the producer said.Nodding i said " Thank you so much."
"Ma'am please. Just a matter of two days. Mr. Malhotra, please ask maam to stay. This cannot be completed without her." director asked Dil.
"You're leaving Amarah? Please dont. The shoot isn't yet completed." Dil said.
"but my work is. But if you people insist, fine i will." i said.
