Michael Peyser and Jon Labrie’s visit

I came to know Jon Labrie thru Madhu sudhanan a good friend of mine and well wisher. Madhu is the one who won national award (Visual Effects) for ‘Aalavandhaan’. Jon Labrie read the script of ‘Achchamundu! Achchamundu!’ and is in touch with me from that day onwards. I flew from Chennai to Mumbai in the month of February just to meet Jon and read his notes about the script. When I was doing the Digital intermediate in Plaster city, I connected with Jon and he was very excited to see the color grading of the film. He also told me that ‘Michael Peyser’ would love to check out the film too and I invited him thru phone. He came there saying that ‘I will be here for only few minutes’ but ended up staying close to one hour. 

Working in Plaster city was a great experience. Michael Ceoni was very friendly in organizing things and Milton, the colorist was very good with Pablo 4K system. Katie, Dana, Oscar, Matt…all became good friends of mine during that one week.

Michael Peyser is the one who produced lot of popular hollywood films like ‘Speed-2′, ‘U2 3D’ and currently working in ‘Laundry Warrior’. Jon Labrie, worked as the Digital systems architect in academy award winning ‘Lord of the Rings’.

I would love to post more about my experiences with ‘RED ONE’ (I know…I know…I am getting emails and calls regarding this) and my discussion with Ted Schilowitz, Leader of the Rebellion from RED ONE in my future posts.
