Click - The Shoot

(Some ramblings about the 4 day shoot for the movie 'Click'

In came the camera, the lights and the boom

And the props and the crew that followed soon 

Around me rose a temporary world of reality

Reminding me so much of my own mortality

Scene, shot, take and the clap

The DP's camera caught moments in a trap

With the sounds that were picked up by the boom

Everyone had the smarts to be quiet in the room

With the Tungsten in all it's might

Daylight trickled through the night

Then there was the tape named gaffer

To make our shoot a lot less rougher

The camera fell in love with Ray

And Quinn showed his magic in his own cute way

With takes and retakes and yet another take

This was one hell of a movie in the make

The logger logged every take with care

While continuity knew what went where

When the DP called out 'SSD Full'

Backup had a new one with a magic that he did pull

With makeup as it's own art form

It could make your face cold or warm

Behind the scenes, with moves that were quick

A camera did click the making of Click

And when our feelings turned low,

There came the tea, the snacks and some divine food in tow

But when the yawns were oft, we longed for a hint

That the Director would utter 'Print'

With the lights off and the camera eyes shut

Why am I longing to hear another 'cut'?

But hey AD, for once you need not fret

For today, everything is indeed quiet on the set!
