Chote se Pankh

This movie is made

Without the professional camera (digital camera)
Without the knowledge of proper lighting
Without the best editing software
But
With Real Characters and
With honest urge of portraying slice of life

We’ve thought that we’d bring the journey behind the scenes for every creation we did or we’d be doing …ultimately somebody famous said it “Sometimes its means, not the end justifies everything”
I was in Lucknow chilling out at approximately 35-40 degrees and was just planning many things in terms of writing and making some short movie etc but nothing concrete was coming out, in between fortunately thanks to curious soul (Samarth) send me a mail about contest by SHAMIANA and the NGO behind it.
You can get the information about bicycle project here and appreciate how noble the idea is and very motivating too.
Then after discussing bit we planned to shoot it in Lucknow, Samarth was in Agra. He took the pain of coming to Lucknow and the moment he arrived we started developing raw ideas we had in our minds, finally we came on conclusion we’d take the reaction of many kids who are working in cycle repairing shops. We wanted to see how they react to cycles as day in and day out they are repairing the cycles. But getting reaction was not an easy task. Surprisingly we asked many shopkeepers for shooting and told them that we are doing a college project. Nobody allowed us to take even a picture. Shopkeepers thought that we are from news channel and working on child labor things. Getting disappointed badly and wasting one whole day, we realized this happened because nothing was clear in our minds, what we wanted to do with the reactions.

First learning:
We are new to this shooting and stuff so we should be more planned about every inch what we want to do!!
Now after coming back home we brain stormed for at least 6-7 hours and prepared a rough draft about what we want and best thing was we were now clear with our limitations (believe me it helps

Now coming to Star cast
· Ruby – She is a school going girl, daughter of a gardener and want a cycle desperately as she came 2nd in her class
· Gaurang - He is from middle class family, he has two cycles but he loves scooty

Shooting
What we did we just started the camera and started chatting with both of them for 1 hour each and in the process we realized for the first time, they both live in different worlds, their happy moments, their dreams, their aspirations all are so different.

Final Cut
Purpose of making this movie was simple… we believe through our movie some people would definitely give some happy moments to poor children.

"Every child deserves her/his part of happiness…isn’t it ??"

Appeal
Enjoy the movie and bless us with honest feedback that would certainly improve the quality of our next creation.
