Dear All,
Coming back here after a long time. It is a pleasure to inform you all that my film "A Call in the Rainforest" has been awarded the 2nd Prize in the Film Festival organised by Maharashtra Government. I received the prize from the Chief Minister of Maharashtra (it is a state in India).

The photos and other details can be found here: http://www.indiawilds.com/diary/maharashtra-government-awards-2nd-prize-to-a-call-in-the-rainforest/

This was my first film, entirely shot with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV.

I have been very busy due to change of job and the last six months has been very very hectic. I hope to complete my second film project soon. Will let you know.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Dear All,
Thanks a lot. As Roger rightly says this was my first effort and it was really tough to put it all together as I had no idea about video editing and music. Lot of struggle and lot of learning and ofcourse the confidence goes up. It means a lot when people come up to me and say that they have learnt something and will implement those for better conservation in their local areas.

Last year because of my job change, my second film remained unedited. Its funny that because of my official job, when the TV crew come to interview me, I discuss more about their equipment. :)

I just got the 17 inch Macbook Pro, so that I can edit even when I am travelling. Fortunately, received it a day before the 17" inch MacbookPro was shelved. So slowly I am coming to grips. Will share with you all when I finish the 2nd film. Tons of plans. Thanks for your support.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
