Sigma51 : The race is still on…
This blog is getting updated after a long time, and we have an announcement to make. Officially sigma51 production is over, although it has ended on a sad note that we have been short of 10 movies out of all, but we are neither discouraged, nor put down. We are still making the remaining movies in the forthcoming week.
As a project, sigma 51 has taught us a lot. It has made us realize the value of minute planning and backups. it has made us proud to see so many people coming together under one roof, even after meeting for the first time, to work for a same vision and same goal. This post is first to appreciate the efforts of those people, as well as to acknowledge the fire that a true FTFMite has, in worse of all conditions. we have came together a long way, in last 10 days.
Vikram Kaka
the man who rekindled the ignited minds during sigma51 using his art to make servespoons work for him just right and his dosage of coffes and teas for us. he also the laughter medicine and the punchline for sigma51— “WOW! TAK DHINADIN!!!”
Manashree
the management backbone..the most driven FTFMite, who ran even without firealarm to get things just from anywhere so that everything falls perfectly into place. the girl with “never say die” attitude..and a polite serving even after hardest tries.. to say “YOU SAY..DON’t worry i’ll manage”. the power engine whose fuel tank was always full like her scooty. the girl ought to be given big reward for the work she has done for sigma51.
Manan
the humble lad..one of the most worked actors who played roles ranging from dumb detective to being a sharp ghost. roles to is credit are plumber, public transport, costumewala for sigma51. the guy charged up always from dusk till dawn because his dictionary doesn’t have the word “NO”. NO complaint man..just upright always to satisfy the need off the time.
Karan
our own beloved KEJO..blissed with cracking hathode yet with transparent innocence. his words seem heavy on our head but his work too no less powerful than hammer..unbeatable courage to speak out his ideas and to just approach anyone when it coes to getting the work done. the hammer struck hard on the hospital authorities to get us the permission to shoot there.
Maulik
the director’s actor..who would not even breathe until commanded. genuine smile he puts on always to make u feel “don’t wory things r just perfect” yet ironically he has been the hard guy..the resident thug or gangster in our movies.
Bhargav
the perfect cartoon, who works balance sheets with ease while he rolls others to laughter. he is the popular in-demand, the chosen one..actor for our future animated movie project.
Nirav
the angry young man, ready to help others. silent observer to things..but the frown actually makes the one he’s trying to help feel that “he needs help” . very passionate about making movies..
Hiren
technical guy armed with a guitar to aid music for our films. a genius JACK OF ALL TRADES..with all tools in his box..rolling pin to make rotis for entire team, mouse to install softwares, magical pluctrum to rock with his music. what’s more he can act too..no constraints, absolute freedom with the kinda work he can do.
Jignesh
popularly known as “JIGGGGGGGAAAA”. the wholesole troubleshooter who would work out solutions for just everything..kitchen to computers, resource procurement and management. prepared for the worst always..seems trouble fears approaching when he’s around.
Anup
the cute guy..absolute lala. assistant cook..music composer. magnitude of his smile is always 10 on 10..the most victorious he feels he is! make him do anything, he will. say anything, doesn’t care. lives in own world but creates comfort zone for others by advising them good but least worried about wat goes around.. the AIRCONDITIONER of Sigma51..
Anirudh
this serious looking lad will amaze you with the faces he can make from Chaplin to detectives .the youngest and most energetic guy, who is just perfect at directing and acting both. he would work out his funda of working out everything from concept development to editing of his films, when anyone would hardly notice. all entertaining figure to help you out with just everything–hardware configurations to software solutions with his fast processing brain. BEWARE he would let you scratch your hair and irritate you beyond limits when cracks his POOREST JOKES (typical ‘him’)
Akshay
the creative mind behind our film titles and graphics. genuine decisions and calculative work moves drive this guy. most patient and the silent observer to everything.
Dhaivat
the peace figure with voice as soft as melted chocolate..magical fingers not only to compose great music but heal your ailments. the positive energy source who radiates vibes to work with ease. he knows the right mantra to have people work with and for him.
Tatvam Bhai
Ever ready to make arrangements for sigma51 film-makers, whether its acting or setting up location. A cool, down to earth guy with good resources.
Ruchika
the girl who posseses a creative pen to make websites with just as ease as her dormant nods. behind the working of the shutter that unfolds sigma51 website, her fair hands have just worked it right. don’t be amazed when she would hardly speak for hours, she may be a tiger about to attack her graphic preys.
Hardik
the Tech support of sigma51..tying all the digital knots from laptop and system interconnections to internet hub. hey don’t confine his image to IT.. sci-guy can also act and play guitar to play digital notes for our films.
Nirav bhai
our very own cinematographer..young at heart that you would hardly feel the age gap. ready to run miles without fuel, geared with his camera all day at the L.O.C to frame just perfect! A ‘NO WORRY MAN’ with disciplined approach towards life.
Shweta
Last but not the least, our own ‘babbar sher’ who has the loudest of all voices to whip people in shape to start working on time. She has had mood swings throughout the sigma51, but her hard work has more than compensated for it. A writer who is very good at planning because of her realistic approach, she has stopped a lot of large scale mishaps from happening in last 10 days.
special thanks to our filmi babus and babes..who faced the camera with agony to deliver the perfect shots.the first timers rocked!
