FILM MAKER

Tridib Raman is immensely inspired by the art & style of veteran Indian movie-maker Guru Dutt. It was Dutt who first made ‘songs’ the integral & contextual part of hindi movies. Before him, songs used to be a parallel form of art in movies. Dutt’s second great contribution to the world of hindi movies is the prominent use of ‘close-ups’ in movies instead of full-shots. According to him ‘face’ is the most important means of expression in acting. What a thousand words and actions can’t convey, a slight bent of brows can convey it aptly and wonderfully. These two great innovations of Dutt proved to be a milestone in the hindi movie-making. Apart rom Dutt, the two other film-maker who left a lasting impression on Raman’s work are – Felini- the noted French Film director & Mazeit majeidi – the renowned Iranian director. Even while greatly inspired by these great minds Raman doesn’t lack innovations and is always in search of new ideas & forms of art.

Raman strongly believes that movie-making is more of a team-work and there should be a strong team-spirit in each and every member of the unit, which must be reflected in the movie as a whole. He supports the use of new and modern tchniues in the Indianmovies to make it in par to the Hollywood movies. He is the first Indian film-maker to use techniue in his documentary movie.
