- Please introduce yourself to our readers and your professional journey so far.
Being a Sound Designer by profession, I have had an excellent journey so far, with my career spanning over a decade in this field. I have had the privilege to work on distinguished projects across varied genres in the film industry, making my work fulfilling, fun and insightful so far. The myriad of different experiences, each rich in its own way, have contributed to my success. I also believe in growing in my field and sharing my knowledge of industry know-how as the opportunity arises. - What inspired you to step into the sound production industry? Who were your role models growing up?
Since childhood, I was always intrigued by the world of sound. But over time, as I enjoyed watching films, I grew curious to know about how dialogues worked and how different sounds made an impact from approaching footsteps, leaves rustling in the wind to raindrops on the roof. On completing my graduation, I was determined to enter the field of sound design.
- Kindly share your views about the current volatile dynamics of the film making industry and how it may have affected your projects or work, if at all.
The unprecedented time has impacted every industry, and the film industry is no exception. Fear of visiting public spaces, social distancing, and closure of cinema halls for most of the year has had a downward spiraling effect with many projects being in limbo. On the other hand, audiences have lapped up digital content with many projects releasing to wider audiences on the web platforms.
- We would love to know about your experience of working on any of the movies, series and other interesting projects you have worked on. Please tell our readers about the same.
At the onset, I would like to share that every project that I have worked on has been a learning experience. As they say, there is no bad experience – it just teaches what to do or what not to do. Amongst some of the memorable experiences that have stayed with me, is working on a movie titled, Harud, with military presence at every given point of time because of the sensitive location that we were shooting in.
