Atrangi Hindustan – Live Action Film
At MAAC South Ex, Atrangi Hindustan was produced as a vibrant live-action short film celebrating India’s diversity and culture. I took on the role of Director, Editor, and Sound Designer, overseeing the creative vision from script to screen, while also shaping the post-production and soundscape that gave the film its unique identity.
Research & Creative Insights
- Creative Direction: Developed the film’s concept and visual style to authentically portray the essence of India’s diversity.
- Pre-Production Planning: Worked on shot breakdowns, framing, and visual moodboards to guide the live-action shoot.
- Audio & Cultural Relevance: Planned a sound design that blended natural ambience, dialogues, and music to enhance the cultural storytelling.
Problem Statement
- Live-action storytelling required a clear, unified vision — from direction to editing — to keep the narrative strong.
- Unprocessed footage and audio needed careful editing, grading, and sound mixing to achieve a cinematic, impactful flow.
Final Outcome & Impact:
- As the director, I ensured that every shot aligned with the story’s vision, giving the film a distinct style and cultural authenticity.
- Edited and graded the film to maintain consistency, rhythm, and cinematic appeal throughout the narrative.
The project was appreciated for its directional clarity, cultural storytelling, and post-production polish, standing out as one of MAAC’s strong live-action showcases.
