Once all the pre production, models, props, minaitures are ready...
its time for the actual shoot, with the tight final storyboard.The
first process before shooting and animation actually commences
is the shoot set up.
During the setup, first the set is placed and sealed according
to the camera angle. Then the characters are placed in their
respective poses and positions.
Here begins the cinematographer's role which is very crucial!
He lights the miniature world which has now all come together
on the shooting floor. He is the one who lights the miniature
world to give the illusion of realism and heightens the mood
of the scene.The bigger challenge in lighting up a miniature
is the small size of the world!

- The cinematographer for Pandu Mangal

Says
Satyaprakash Rath, the cineamtographer for Pandu Mangal,
"Lighting up a miniature set has its own challenges. We
have to be very careful about the heat generated from the lights
as these could melt some materials in the set or the characters"
"We used a lot of baby lights with lens to concentrate
it. We also had a lot of snoots in usage"
"The angles were exciting because of the kind of action
look we wanted to give"
"We were running against time. All the technicians from
various departments who were working on Pandu Mangal were
very passionate and when a shot would be readied, someone or
the other would have a last minute improvisation and that was
really tensing. But then that is the xtra bit of sweat and effort
that goes a long way in making something interesting" says
Rath.
