Me, My Friends and Mr.Lesnie.

Few months back I talked how fortunate I was to go to the premiere of King Kong. Today it was a step more. I was fortunate to meet Andrew Lesnie, the Director of Photography of Lord of the Rings triology and King Kong. He had come over to Chennai for a seminar on Lustre systems of Autodesk. The seminar was great with other inputs coming from Grady Coffer, Digital Supervisor at ILM (Industrial Light & Magic), Elfi Bernt, ARRI and Phillippe Soeiro, Autodesk.
After the seminar me and my friends had a chat with Mr.Lesnie. He was talking about how important it is to have a good script for a movie. He felt there are great films with not so great cinematography and films with great cinematography and less of content. He said he preferred the first one. His own favourite one is On The Waterfront. He also said its a great time to make movies with so much of happenning going around worldwide. And he asked us one very important question, "So who won the election". The answer ofcourse was "DMK".
