Unfinished Stories

Battle LA Revisited - VFX short fim from Rahul Bhatli on Vimeo.

Karmchariiz - Battle LA Revisited

Shot with Canon 600D
The objective was to recreate 30 seconds of the movie Battle Los Angeles .We spent a lot of time in pre production during which we obtained a similar uniform to that of a US Marine. We combined two guns into one and painted it black to get the desired look of a rifle. After searching the whole of Delhi we finally found an appropriate place to shoot but we were unable to attain the permission. Finally we found a location in Nehru Place, Delhi. One major problem we had was the constantly changing daylight, still we managed to wrap up our final shoot quickly. And this was personal too, had some unfinished stories  that now, have a proper ending. Many thanks to the entire team.

then the Time, stopped.

And I woke up

The blanket of stars were eminent.

As if I could see EVERYTHING.

All the connections. One energy from another. One thought to another. One soul to another.

I understood the meaning of Eternal.

I was falling inside of me.

And I realized by standing still how blind I have been.

How dead I was.

I was mesmerized..first time in my life I had no thought in my mind.

No emotion.

No feeling.

I was at peace.

I could feel my breath. I could hear my heartbeat. I could see what sketches in my hand meant. I could actually SEE.

Even my grey matter. My void. Was accepted here.

Every part of me belonged here.

I, belonged here.

But I wasn't alone. I could feel it.

I could feel the whole world. But there was more, there was something more i could hear!

It wasn't a voice, it was like a thought. Coming from inside of me. To listen, I closed my eyes for the last time.

"Listen to the sound of quietness..dance to its tune..

Feel the rhythm, let your instinct take over..let your mind do what it was meant to do..open the doors..

Empty ur cup

Free your mind

Accept this infinite knowledge

Start believing. Start breathing. Start hearing. Start feeling Start looking.

Start setting ur mind free.

Touch ur purpose.

That is the only thing that is yours..

Truly yours.

Embrace it. And now,

OPEN YOUR EYES."

Glimpse of a dream

Then, I asked,
what am I doing here? why do I always feel I do not belong here?
He almost gave out a smile at my naïve perspective

Then said the word - Destiny.

Evolution and change is inevitable. That's the nature of earth. But destiny..fate..kismat..that's a conversation between a soul and the stars.

And for those who rebel,

they come back running right from where they start. In a circle. Because the greatest obstacle between them and 'change' is....themselves.

Ah! Now you are thinking why hide the truth at all?

Why is the salvation hidden?

Cuz frm that perspective, it permits experience, growth and eventual fulfillment of destiny..

Empty ur cup

Free your mind

Accept this infinite knowledge

Open your eyes.

Then, stop seeking and start looking.

and the void screamed through me,

the last bit of me was lost in the world.

and this oblivion was engraved within,

reminding me I have no belonging left.
