Welcome Phatact viewers!
Since joining Phatact.com, I have had the pleasure of working with Dustin Grissom, Phatact’s CEO. Dustin recruited me back
in March of 2011, with the position of Assistant Producer (for select projects). Since then, I have gotten to help make two of
Phatact’s newest feature films which include Indian Flare: Hidden Moves with Dhruv Agnihotri, and The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Warthog, The Indian, and The Closet.
Indian Flare was my debut project for Phatact. Planning for the film began about a week in advance. After we arranged our
schedules, filming began. In the opening scene, which took a couple takes to get just right, I can be seen lounging in my chair
while drinking a dark reddish drink. Contrary to popular belief, the drink was not red wine, but it was red sparkling grape juice,
the real drink of a man with class.
After the first couple scenes were shot inside, we headed outside to film the intro scene. As we were doing our fanatic
entrances/fight moves, I noticed a couple of spectators who were in their homes. They stared at us in awe as we continued to
show off our amazing talents of motion picture film capturing. We then proceeded to film the portion of Indian Flare that
featured the outdoor testing facility.
At this point our filming took a drastic turn because the battery was running low in the camera. After each shot, we had to shut
off the camera to preserve as much battery life as possible. Luckily, we made it through. This portion of the film was also the
part when we had featured the greatest test mankind has ever seen: Is the chest pound more effective than a bullet? Even
though Dustin Grissom and I are two miraculous folks with incredible individual talents, Indian Flare was no Hollywood
production with James Cameron or Clint Eastwood. So to add the effect for the blood, we used high quality ketchup that was
made from the ripest tomatoes that the people of Meijer could possibly find.
Again, you didn’t see any Steven Spielberg quality filming, but I think that overall this production was a tremendous success.
Hey, 330+ views (and counting) for a first film ain’t that bad, eh? I look forward to making more videos for Phatact and I am
truly blessed to work for a genius of a CEO such as Dustin Grissom.
Stay Classy,
Dhruv Agnihotri
