About
I am Sachin Sundareshan Pillai. I am a film-maker and I alternate roles between Director/DOP and sometimes Editor. I have been in Mumbai eight years, having done an initial stint in television where I learnt the basics of the more technical parts of the profession. Ever since then, I've been involved in every aspect of the business with each project I have spearheaded- from shoot to final play-out level mostly editing my own films. Off-late though, after a very fruitful 1 year in advertising as a DA, and 4 years of freelance i've developed a bank of visual styles over the years. Whether it is combining live action and graphics or purely synthesising visual imagery using effects and filters on set. I like to look at it as developing a mix of old school and current sensibilities.
