As far as concerned with our team, I firmly affirm Kanaa will be a very special movie to all of us, which we can exhibit to our next generation kids.” He says, “Yes, usually a film’s length could be defined with the screen time, but I have an instinctual belief that ‘Kanaa’ will not end by the final credits, but will be carried back home with emotions and inspirations. I strongly believe Kanaa will invariably offer a similar feel to everyone,” says Editor Ruben, who feels that there’s something special about the film’s running length. Naturally, fathers are always the ‘Soul’ of their children’s path to success. Moreover, what was more touching is that I could reflect and experience the aura of my own father through Sathyaraj sir. Such was the emotional connect that I experienced while editing the film. Significantly, Kanaa is a film, where I couldn’t think about any cuts and transitions’. Personally, I have come across very few films of such impact. “There are certain films that let ‘Editors’ forget about their identity urging them for non-stop viewing for its exceptional values. While calculations over running length, perfect cuts and transitions dominate an editor’s mind, Ruben has experienced something different while working on Sivakarthikeyan Productions’ Kanaa. ‘I am going to be an author.Kanaa (Dream) is an inevitable essence in everyone’s life and it looks like the entire cast and crew of this film are filled with relishing emotions. ‘ This is the best job in the world,’ she said, happily.
Once there was a land where every wish came true.Įlli pulled up the bed blanket and snuggled down. Elli saw the words come up on the computer screen. The person bit into a biscuit then began to type.
There was a desk with a computer, lots of sheets of paper with writing on, a mug of hot chocolate and a plate of biscuits.
The room was full of books on the floor and on bookshelves. A real fire was burning in the fireplace. The waves grew bigger and the boat was rocking from side to side. But she kept working.īut the trawler worker stayed where she was. The trawler worker pulled her hood up - part of the screen was cut off. The trawler worker was walking forward, but the boat was moving under her feet. It was just a movie, but she could almost feel the wind, biting hard and cold. Everyone was busy, doing things.Įlli turned her head. She could hear the wind, roaring and racing. Other people were there, wrapped up in waterproof coats, hats and boots. Instantly she was on a trawler: a huge fishing boat with an enormous crane at one end to haul in the fishing net. Trawler worker! Now that sounded exciting. She blinked her eyes to get rid of the movie. ‘The excitement? The race through the streets on a fire engine?’ The firefighter finished polishing the metal object, then picked up another one and began to polish that. Then he took up a rag and a tin of polish, and began to clean the metal object.Įlli watched. The firefighter sat down and picked up something made of metal. The firefighter walked past the fire engine and went into a room. Of course! The camera was on top of his head. It was the firefighter who was walking forward. She turned her head - a fire engine! Right there! She started to walk forward - what?!! She wasn’t walking - she was still lying on her bed. It was quite dark, but Elli saw a big garage with equipment. She moved her eyes and chose ‘firefighter’. Wear a helmet and boots and thick, thick clothes. That sounded exciting! She would ride in a fast fire engine. Then she went to her bedroom and lay on the bed.
It works like this.’Įlli learned how to choose and change jobs. ‘This will really help,’ said her father. ‘I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.’ It’s fun! And it will help people to choose jobs.’ It filmed everything they did, so you can see and hear it too.
‘A doctor wore a head camera for 24 hours. So you choose one - like doctor - then you can see what it is like to be a doctor for a day.’
The list shows different jobs, see? Doctor, teacher, builder. ‘Exactly,’ said her father, sounding pleased. Sometimes he brought them home so Elli could try them. He worked for a big company and was always making new gadgets. ‘I haven’t turned it on yet!’ laughed her father.
