00:00How did you prepare for this film?
00:04I asked them to give me a trailer or a teaser.
00:08Because we have a room in the director's office.
00:10We have a lot of interest in that.
00:12We spoke to the RKF and they asked me to come as a director.
00:17That's how we met and got to know each other.
00:20What is the difference between a big hero and a small production?
00:22What is the difference between a big hero and a small production?
00:25What are your fears?
00:26Did you prepare for this film?
00:29I don't have a problem with handling a big film.
00:32But it's my first time working with a big producer.
00:37I worked as an assistant in a film called Remo.
00:39Even when I was in Trimming, SK had noticed me.
00:45That's when I got to know him.
00:47He is very dedicated.
00:48You must have seen the film Remo.
00:50Yes, I saw the get-up.
00:51He works very dedicatedly.
00:55What is your impression of Kavin?
00:57I don't have to say much about Kavin.
01:01He is not like a web series or a movie.
01:04He is equally dedicated to everything.
01:06He is a very good person.
01:10How long did it take you to edit the film?
01:13It took me almost 6 months to edit the film.
01:16Because of the pandemic, there was a long gap to release the film.
01:21In this film, there is everything you expect from a commercial film.
01:31There is only one scene in the film that we missed in the trailer.
01:36It's called Mammootty.
01:38Mammootty is a cheetah.
01:41We only missed that one scene.
01:44When we are in an emotional scene, we should not show our editing skills.
01:50We should think about where to cut.
01:54That's how the film was made.
02:01We have seen some reviews.
02:03For example, Nila Sattai Maran.
02:05He has commented on this.
02:08I would like to say this for him.
02:11What I want to say is...
02:21Greetings to all the viewers at home and abroad.
02:24Today is the next episode of the show, Kaathu Vaakalai Kadhaipoom.
02:29The most interesting thing is who we are going to talk to in this episode.
02:33It's a film called Amaran.
02:36It was directed by Sivakarthi.
02:38It was also directed by Saipalli.
02:40It was released on Deepavali.
02:42It's a huge success.
02:44The way the film was made...
02:46The technicality of the actors...
02:48Everything was perfect.
02:54We are going to talk to the editor of this film.
02:57Let's talk to Kaathu Vaakalai Kadhaipoom.
03:02How are you?
03:03I'm fine. How are you?
03:06I'm fine.
03:07It's a film called Amaran.
03:09You've been an editor in Tamil cinema.
03:11We've seen two or three films.
03:13You're going to take the next step through this film.
03:17You're going through a big process through this film.
03:21How did you come up with this film?
03:23Who approached you to edit it?
03:25How did it start?
03:27I thought I'd finish the mural and edit it on a channel.
03:33When I was looking for a place to shoot the film...
03:38There was an announcement that SK was going to make a film in RKFL.
03:46Rajkumar was the director.
03:48When Rangoon was made...
03:50Rangoon's trailer was made by Ruben sir.
03:54I was Ruben sir's assistant.
03:56Ruben sir knew Rajkumar very well.
03:59We used to do TV promos together.
04:02Rajkumar knew me from that time.
04:05After that, I didn't have much contact with Rajkumar.
04:09He went to Big Boss.
04:11It was a long gap.
04:13When the announcement came, I just sent a congratulatory message.
04:17I don't know if he remembers it.
04:19I sent it in a situation.
04:21As soon as I got the thank you message, I called him.
04:24He said, let's work together.
04:28I asked him to give me a trailer or a teaser.
04:33Because Ruben sir is a director, we have to work on trailer and teaser.
04:38We have a lot of interest in that.
04:41I asked him that.
04:43He said we should work together.
04:45After that, I didn't get a call for eight months.
04:48I got a call from RKFL.
04:52They said, let's talk to RKFL.
04:54The director asked me to come.
04:57After that, we met and talked.
04:59You said that the process happened.
05:02It was a big production.
05:04Rajkumar's production was a big production.
05:06A big hero was also acting.
05:08A big heroine was also acting.
05:10Did you feel anything else?
05:12We have done a lot of films.
05:14You have done a lot of films.
05:16We are doing it with a big hero.
05:18We are doing it with a big production.
05:20Did you prepare anything to prepare yourself?
05:26There will be fear.
05:28In a production like Kamal sir's,
05:30there will be fear.
05:32In a production like Kamal sir's,
05:34there will be fear.
05:36Rajkumar was a big support.
05:38We went only through him.
05:40The film was done with his guidance.
05:42The film was done with his guidance.
05:44I did it with his courage.
05:46I did it with his courage.
05:48I worked with Ruben sir.
05:50I worked with Ruben sir.
05:53I have done three or four films with Atlee sir.
05:58I have worked with Atlee sir's Javantharam.
06:00I worked with Beagle.
06:02I worked with Myself.
06:04I worked with Post Production.
06:06I didn't have a problem handling big films.
06:08I didn't have a problem handling big films.
06:10When I met Mahendran sir,
06:12When I met Mahendran sir,
06:14Mahendran sir was my friend.
06:16He used to come to edit Rajarani and Theri.
06:18He used to come to edit Rajarani and Theri.
06:20He is Atlee sir's close friend.
06:22But Mahendran sir said it was okay. Everyone believed in me and I had the faith to do well.
06:37You've done a lot of work. Now let's talk about SK. You're doing a biography of Mugundu Vellarajan. He's an actor and has lived his life.
06:52What did you feel while editing? SK's 10 year journey is a big transformation. What did you feel while editing?
07:07It was new to me. His acting, his physique... I had done a standout in a film called Remo. Even when I was in Trimming, SK had noticed me.
07:27I wasn't surprised by his physique change. He's very dedicated. He did a great job in Army Man.
07:47Every frame of his film is very emotional.
07:57You've done a lot of films with Kavin. You've done a series with him called Akash Vani.
08:07You've done a series with him. We've seen 6 episodes. You've clearly shown your love for him.
08:17What challenges do you face while editing a web series like that?
08:27When we finish editing, we get 300 first footage. We either do 230 or 245.
08:37But a web series is not like that. We have to edit two films. The first four episodes are separate.
08:47We have to edit two films. It's an interesting format.
08:57It was a good journey.
09:07Kavin is not like a web series or a film. He's equally dedicated.
09:17I don't want to work with a new editor. I want to see him as a new editor.
09:27He saw it after editing and appreciated it. He's a sensational actor.
09:37You've done a film called Dinosaur. It was a new film with a new director and artists.
09:47It was a very well-organized film. You didn't mention your edit cuts.
09:57As an editor, you had to put in a lot of effort. What was difficult about that?
10:07The editing of that film took six months. There was a long gap after Corona.
10:17We edited that film. The intro block is very interesting.
10:27It has everything you expect from a commercial film.
10:37The director took a lot of effort to make that film.
10:47It was a good journey. It could have been a commercial film.
10:57It reached where it was made.
11:07You did a rough cut in Amaran. How long did it take?
11:17Amaran is a biopic. All the scenes were already written.
11:27He didn't take anything extra. He took what happened in his life as an online order.
11:37It was a training montage.
11:47There was a lot of footage like an election campaign.
11:57In some parts of the film, we used a song from Agathi.
12:07We didn't use any scenes. The only scene we missed in the trailer was Mammootty.
12:17We only used that scene. We didn't use anything else in the film.
12:27All the scenes would have been there, but the small dialogues would have been cut.
12:37In the film, you explain the story in a non-linear way.
12:47Normally, the story is told differently.
12:57What other challenges did you face?
13:07It wasn't a big challenge. The script was taken by the director.
13:17He did a good job in the writing of the screenplay.
13:27We shouldn't show our editing skills in a biopic.
13:37The film was made sensibly.
13:47When I was with Atlee, he balanced emotion and commercial.
13:57I was able to present the film beautifully.
14:07You've been with Atlee since Raja Rani.
14:17He's in Bollywood now. He's a peak director.
14:27He's a successful director.
14:37Is there anything unique about Atlee?
14:47We get the footage before 10. We get the footage by noon.
14:57We get the footage by evening.
15:07He's on the spot by 8. He's a dedicated and inspirational person.
15:17No matter where I go, I talk about Atlee's films.
15:27It's like a talk. It's the same for all his films.
15:37The audience gets inspired by the film.
15:47When you edit, you get to know the scene.
15:57You get to know a few things.
16:07Do you predict the audience's reaction?
16:17It's Ruben sir who handles such things. We're just assistants. We don't know how to find out.
16:25We don't know how to show an incident.
16:35We can't say it's a coincidence.
16:45If an incident happens, it will happen like this.
16:55Everyone is happy with the film.
17:05You've shown a few promo videos with Vijay sir.
17:15I've worked with Vijay sir on the spot.
17:25I've worked with Vijay sir on the spot.
17:35He doesn't watch films. He only watches songs.
17:45He only watches songs. He doesn't say anything else.
17:55This is his style of working.
18:05There's a scene where you kill Altha Baba.
18:15You mention it's early morning.
18:25You mention it's early morning.
18:35You mention it's early morning.
18:45You try to kill Altha Baba.
18:55You try to kill Altha Baba.
19:05You mention it's early morning.
19:15What we've shown is only 20%.
19:25No one sleeps for 48 hours.
19:35When I talk to the real army men there...
19:45I get comments like...
19:55I get comments like...
20:05I get comments like...
20:15I get comments like...
20:25I get comments like...
20:35I get comments like...
20:45I get comments like...
20:55Did you edit these scenes?
21:05Did you edit these scenes?
21:15It happened in two years. I don't know the exact timeline.
21:25When we shoot, we don't use a pani.
21:35We don't use a pani.
21:45That's why we didn't shoot it like that.
21:55We only show two or three important incidents.
22:05In the biopic,
22:15In the biopic, you use a name card.
22:25For example, Geetha or Mukund.
22:35How important is this?
22:45Or is it a must?
22:55We need to know the timeline.
23:05We need to know when he joined Ooty, when he gave birth, when he got married...
23:15We didn't add anything extra. We just presented what he gave us.
23:25Another question...
23:35You have a cut in the middle...
23:45You have a cut in the middle...
23:55You have a cut in the middle...
24:05The wife transition was already planned.
24:15The meeting was only for two minutes.
24:25She would have travelled from Bangalore to Delhi airport to meet him.
24:35The meeting was only for two minutes.
24:45The meeting was already planned.
24:55I have a question for the filmmaking students.
25:05Usually, the director writes the script in a linear or non-linear way.
25:15Some people say that you have to say everything in the beginning.
25:25Some people say that you have to say everything in a linear way.
25:35If it's not in the script, it's difficult to achieve.
25:45Sivakar has done it in Alaipayuthal. No one else has done it like that.
25:55If it's not in the script, the editor will know.
26:05We don't say anything in a non-linear way.
26:15It's a real-life story. He becomes a major only after marriage.
26:25This is his timeline.
26:35It can only be edited in a linear way.
26:45He would have thanked the editor who travelled with him.
26:55Only then we would have known many things.
27:05He would have thanked the editor who travelled with him.
27:15He would have thanked the editor who travelled with him.
27:25He would have thanked the editor who travelled with him.
27:35Do you think that the editor will get the footage?
27:45Everything is decided in the edit table.
27:55The script has to be rewritten in the edit table.
28:05Even if I cut a dialogue, it's the director's call.
28:15Even if I stress it out, it's the director's call.
28:25The hero and the director have been discussed in the film.
28:35So far, everyone has said that Sai Pallavi has done a great job.
28:45How did you feel when you edited the film?
28:55They did a great job in every scene.
29:05That's their performance. I'm sure they'll get an award.
29:15They decided on the script five years ago.
29:25Five years ago, I decided to do the character in Sai Pallavi.
29:35I don't know how long they performed.
29:45When Sivakarthik says, I'm fine, people cry.
29:55I don't know how long you edited it.
30:05The ambush takes about two minutes and thirty seconds.
30:15Once the ambush happens, they listen to it on the phone.
30:25They did a great job. We didn't know where to cut.
30:35The climax is the same.
30:45I'll tell you the climax. They wipe their eyes and become normal.
30:55There's a scene where I cry for three minutes.
31:05There's only one take. I cry because I don't want to cry in front of anyone.
31:15I can't control my tears. They did a great job.
31:25We didn't want to add music to the scene. We silenced the music.
31:35After the rough cut, you go to the music director.
31:45Did you trim the music after that?
31:55I did a lot of editing in Thumba.
32:05He did it right for his experience. He corrected all my flaws.
32:15You did a great job. Thank you for your time.
32:25We wish you all the best. You have a lot of films to do.
32:35Thank you for your time.
32:45Thank you for your time.
