ALEXA M on Indian Tamil
blockbuster
ARRAMBAM, directed by Vishnuvardhan, is a South
Indian action thriller starring the superstar Tamil film
actor, Ajith Kumar. Set against the backdrop of the 2008
terrorist attacks in Mumbai, it centers on a former Anti-
Terrorist Squad member (Ajith) seeking to expose a scam
involving faulty bullet-proof vests provided to security
forces. With a tight schedule and difficult real locations
to deal with, DP Om Prakash opted to work with the
ALEXA M, which features a separate camera head and
body, and is well suited to a fast-paced working style,
handheld operating and space-constrained situations.
Here, he speaks with ARRI about his experiences on the
film.
What was your goal with the visuals on ARRAMBAM?
Well, we were trying to break away from the age-old
practice followed for action genres and avoid a
conventional style of filmmaking. We decided the movie's
base tone should be a fairly green hue, following the
prevailing color theory that green represents the beginning
of knowledge. We also wanted to convey the idea of our
main character having a split personality in order to create
uncertainty in the audience's mind as to whether he is a
hero or a villain; we often did this by shooting reflected
images of him and pursuing a claustrophobic feel. In
general my goal with the visuals was simply to carry the
audience along with the story.
Why did you choose to work with the ALEXA M?
The film is a large-scale action thriller, so we wanted a
camera that would suit our fast-paced working style, as
well as the weird angles we planned and the candid
approach we wanted to take. With such celebrated actors
in the frame, we never had the luxury of time for elaborate
camera setups or rigging. After considering all the technical
and workflow aspects, we chose the ALEXA M. My crew
found it very easy to adapt to the M; it is user-friendly and
uncomplicated, giving me more control and more freedom,
just like a film camera. In my opinion it stands tall and is
an incomparable digital camera.
