Small steps to the Big Screen

Are you a movie buff? Do you love watching movies for more than just the entertainment? Do you dream of becoming an actor, director, film technician one day? Here is a group of special people who with only their limited resources, have created this little masterpiece. This is a very respectable piece or work and creativity but not the best, because I’m sure their best is yet to come!

Rochershake Productions presents “The Law”. The Law wasn’t planned under a scheduled meeting or taking ideas from experts. One day, this group of friends, all about the same age group of 22 years were hanging out with each other, playing poker and killing time during their vacation. It just occurred to them, that they could possibly make a movie, and from then on the idea just grew!

Were they worried about light setting, filming, editing? Naaa… they knew they had the talent and the will! What else do you need! As their game of poker carried on that evening, each of them were given a character casually, and slowly it began developing into into a story... and behold… The Law. Click on the following image to watch the entire film.

The Law was made was shot over a span of 3 days from 10pm to 4am every day and night. What’s amazing to me and I guess to everyone too is that they have used practically ‘nothing special’ to create this simple yet intricate film.  All what is used in this film is normal house lighting (tube lights, bulbs) and street lamps (for the road scenes). The total budget was 900 bucks, which was for the tripod they bought. For the video, a Cannon 8.1MP digital camera was used, without any expertise in acting, shooting or editing. All this… and Windows Movie Maker! Amazing isn’t it?

This is not uploaded on YouTube because then, the limit was just 10min, while the film is almost 15min. Currently Rochershake Productions are working on their next release “Citius, Fortius, Chronos – A boon or a curse”. I’m more impatient for this release than any other main stream movies like SALT or all the recent crappy Bollywood flicks! The minor problem they’re facing now is to condense the new film to 15 min which is the upload limit of YouTube. For now, watch the trailer of Citius, Fortius, Chronos and then I’m sure you’ll be awaiting the release too!

Aditya Aggarwal, Akanksha Shah, Daksh Bajoria, Karan Shah, Meghna Amin, Nishil Davawala, Parthiv Shah, Pulah Shah, Rushil Shah and Tulsa Bhatt constitute this amazing team. I applaud all of them for their amazing use of time in their vacation and for inspiring us. All the best to all their future creations and efforts!

Download any music for free!!!

Grooveshark.com is a famous web application which allows you to listen to ANY music and ANY song in the world. That's what they claim. And to a certain extent its true. I have found ALL the songs I was looking for and I think is actually has ALL the songs! Imagine if you could download this for free... that means you will be able to get any music of your choice any time, for free!!! Here's how you can do that:

Step 1: Go to Grooveshark.com and check out the site first. You can search for your song and play and listen to it online. If you have download managers to assist you, you can download the song with them. But the site however, does not allow you download more than once, or even once because of the usual HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Error! You may attempt to correct this or follow the easy next steps.

Step 2: If you have Mozilla Firefox (uptil 3.6* version only) then you can install the Video DownloadHelper addon. With this, while the song is playing on Grooveshark, the addon button on the navigation bar in firefox will glow on (Encircled in Blue in the figure below Step 3).You will need to click it and download it. But again, this may give an error. If it does, you can try the next step.

Step 3: If you have Mozilla Firefox (uptil 3.6* version only) then you can install the Orbit Downloader which looks like its designed just for Grooveshark. Once you download the setup file, run it and install Orbit Downloader on your system (its a very small software). Then, when you restart firefox now, it will prompt you automatically to install an addon called OneClick YouTube Downloader which you will not find among the addons in firefox. It installs only with Orbit. Once done, you can see it on your firefox panel (Encircled in Red in the figure below). Click on it and say "Download" or "Record" while the GrooveShark song is playing.

Step 4: This may still not work because of incompatibility of your Firefox version and Orbit Downloader Version. Now, what is going to work for sure is this. Install the latest version 4 of Orbit Downloader from here. During installation, Enable Grab-Pro on Internet Explorer and complete the installation. Thats it! Your done! It has to work now for sure. Go to Grooveshark.com and play a song. Grab-Pro will be highlighted and you can view the (music) files to be recorder perfectly. Now your just a click away to have the music of your choice!

I know IE is very irritating to many. But hey... when you have all the music for free just there, I think its worth it... isn't it??
