They did edit? The road from elephant pass and How i wonder what u r a very personal,professional aesthetic Xperience

It was a very sad day,

the day i watched first time

'How i wonder what u r'

no doubt it was boring.

it was a special gathering of few people

including two foreigners,

and not a public screening.

That day

i told them,

(to Udaya and Chinta co -directors of the film)

nothings gonna happen to me after i watched yo film.

i thought it's wasting my time on fake orgasmic out put.

Everyone of us not so high

Everyone of us not so low

Everyone of us not here

Everyone of us has no hope

So,it was a sad day.

it was happend in November 2009

It was the 1^st story

The 2^nd is,

As a music director

for the film Road from E; pass

i sat with Chandran Ratnum to edit background score

and we made it without breaking musical grammer

and kept the mood

Agreed

No Greeks

Then we went to India

and did the final mix

of picture and sound.

i came back to sri lanka

with my sound engineer

but

Chandran stayed there

to finalize

the whole thing

and re-edit the sounds without me.

I t was another very sad day

i watched premier of the film

Road from E;pass

and no doubt it was boring.

i told him, ( to Chandran Ratnum director of the film)

nothings gonna happen to me

after i watched yo film

and I quoted

Frank Sinatra

’I leave umbrellas on the bushes my plants all die’

and i thought it's wasting my time

and it was a fake orgasmic out put.

According to my point of view,

Chandran’s re-editing of the sound and picture

with lack of knowledge of musical phrasing,

breaking musical grammer

and mute counter tracks of some of the bits.

no sharing

destroyed the mood of whole film.

Then i gave my relentless criticism against his re-edit.

Then he promised me

that we are going to india again to

correct the things before public screening.

But it was not done.

But the film came out for the public

it was happend in

last september 2009.

It was a very sad day.

After above two stories

The time was rolling under the different suns.

Again I was invited for public screening of the film

‘How I wonder what u r’.

At Alionce france on 27^th may 2010.

I watched ‘how I wonder what u r’ second time.

Ooou It was hard to believe

contombling into a good film

in a sense of

non-conventional way of young generation’s emotional catharsis.

Directors (udaya and chinta) re-edited the film with editor Duminda.

They changed

the rhythm of the film,

ambiance,

musics.

No perfect cadences

but they used interrupted and plagal cadences to make infinity.

Everyone of us is so high

Everyone of us is so low

Everyone of us is here

Everyone of us has hope

It did not come from the head.

from some other place.

i think that they are on good sharing way of moods

and criticisms to do

a change

better change isn’t it exchange?

through exchanging views.

It was a good change.

They did edit on their way

But

I felt it’ s on my way.

It ‘s a very beautiful day.

‘how I wonder what u r’’
