RGV to affect cinematographers livelihood

[cinderella man]

Ram Gopal Varma is like a kid who want to buy and play with the best toy/weapon in the market. It was RGV who made the 1st film India with steady cam in the form of ‘Shiva’. RGV might have failed as a director at times, but never failed as a technician who stretches the borders of creativity by embracing the new technologies. After showcasing the power of video mode in Canon 5D cameras with Dongala Mutha press preview, a few producers approached him for the consulation. RGV is of opinion that content is the king and not even a single audience come to the theater because a particular cinematographer has shot it. RGV asks that why should cinematographers in Telugu need to be paid from 25 lacs to 50 lacs (except for epic movies and costume dramas). He went on to prove that point by not having a cinematographer for Dongala Mutha. He had just five still camera operators working on video mode simultaneously during the shoot. When a producer approached RGV that a cinematographer is asking for 25 lacs, RGV convinced him that he could do away with costly cinematographer and give a chance to a new guy, instead. Another producer approached RGV for consultation and he planned to do a small movie with a budget of 1.25 crores. RGV has shown his how he reduced cost while doing Dongala Mutha and the producer reworked on the budget and decided that he could make a movie in a budget of 25 lacs. Even if RGV’s Dongala Mutha becomes marginally successful, the first person whose livelihood is going to get affected is going to be that of a cinematographer.
