IIT Madras: the jungle
Published by amrit on Saturday, July 08, 2006 at 5:07 PMThis is the first (very) short (stupid) film shot from my brand new Sony Mini DV cam (yeah it's mine only till I hand it over to dad). A very boring one in my eyes, but let it be. I should leave some scope for improvement, shouldn't I? :)
By the way the actual video that I shot was in 16:9 ratio. Google (previously youtube) however tampered it to 4:3. That's sad!
Updates: There are two mistakes in the narration:
1. The monkey that you see is a 'she'. I have used 'he' instead! oops!
2. Plural of Deer=Deer (I forgot that while narrating). Sorry for that!
Thanks to Nanny for pointing out these two mistakes.
new update: After a lot of wated time, I did figure out how to prevent Google from distorting my video. so here you have a video in 16:9 finally, the way it was actually shot.

1. Narmada is a landmark eh?
2. Maybe you should have mentioned the names of all the avenues :) Rather than "this road", "that road".. :)
3. :) Nice video. Can I have the high quality version of this?
Thanks for the comment. Would like to see your campus sometime!
@Vimal
1. I did say later that "on a serious note, IIT Madras does have a landamrk: the GC". So that clears all doubts! :)
2. That's true. But I don't really know if all these four roads from GC do have some name. Do they?
3.I have shared it on DC. Were you able to find it?
And thanks for the appreciation.
Bonn Avenue, Delhi Avenue are those that come from the main gate to the GC.
Alumni Avenue is the road that goes to all departments.
And I dont know what the fourth one is :)
I am not sure, if all the three anon comments are from the same guy/girl but for my convenience I will assume so.
reply to the 1st comment: thanks!
reply to the 2nd comment: well, I am sure the video would have looked better in its real shape. All the IITM junta can download it in DC from the user named KILI, to see the original film.
reply to the 3rd comment: Thank you so much for the info! Will see if I can find out the name of the fourth road as well. Till then let's stick to the road to hostel zone.
@Dasan

Thanks. Will try to!
@Geetali
Yeah, a lot!
well, these are comments from a tv achor.
awesome video...
make it a bit longer into a miny documentary.
ps: insti rocks!
Thanks. Tripod? Well, I can't carry that while returning from my department to my hostel, can I? :) Yeah, each frame of this video was shot, within 15 minutes, as I was on my way back to hostel. So you see only those places, that I met in the way.
If I plan to shoot some proper documentary, I would of course not mind using a tripod and cool audio effects!
And the shortcut is indeed sexy!
@Naresh
Documentary! Cool! Write a script and pass it on. Will sure make one!
@Ash
When I was shooting this thing, I didn't even know what I was going to do with it! So I spoke about few things, edited the frames and came up with something, which started resembling a documentary. But no, this actually aint one!
And when I actually do make one, I wil make sure, it is hazzaar better.
Thanks for watching it! :)
and ya, the road u call as ur favourite is my favourite as well.
the road from GC towards hostels is called hostel avenue.
