Additional filming for Himalayan documentary

Muha will be subjected to a gruelling interview this afternoon on Hulhumale where, hopefully, we can crack him open on his Himalayan experiences. Yesterday, it took around three hours for Narco and me to go through the questions so God knows how long the interview is going to take. But the success of the documentary will depend on how well we do with the interview, since audiences need a point of reference before they are bombarded with images of the Himalaya and Muha, hopefully, will be the person to perform that function.

We're not taking any friends to Hulhumale because we want Muha to be comfortable when he talks to us without any distraction. So, the picnic part and the training may have to be filmed another time.

We're also planning to film Muha at a computer, going through the Himalayan photos, and discussing particular images.

Meanwhile Ahmed, our music composer, has been given a dvd containing the rough edit, and is ready to discuss the music he intends to make for the video. Again, music has always been as important to me as images, especially during editing.

With all these things we hope the final cut of the documentary will be really good make the people who previously slept through the images really sit up.

On another note, I watched a trailer for the film Water yesterday and the images really wowed me, never seen anything like it in a long time. If anyone wants to check this out, here's the site:

I think you'll understand why I want to make a film this year.
