Carnatic concerts in cinema halls!!
A 110-minute concert starring two of the leading Carnatic musicians, T.M. Krishna and Bombay Jayashri, Margazhi Raagam is all set to release in digital theatres worldwide. In Chennai, it will be released on 18th December 2008 in Satyam Cinemas, the only DCI compliant theatre multiplex in the city and the front-runner in adopting cinema innovations.
Conceptualized and directed by Jayendra Panchapakesan, Founding Director of Real Image Media Technologies, this ground-breaking new platform for Carnatic music was produced by Aghal Films.
A string of technical geniuses have lent their creative talents to this production, including National Award winners P.C. Sreeram and H. Sridhar. The first-ever classical concert shot exclusively for a cinema audience, Margazhi Raagam has many firsts to its credit: a seven camera shoot using the latest RED Digital Cinema Cameras and live sound capture mixed in 5.1 digital surround sound at a THX certified mix stage to name a few. All set to be released in Blu-ray, DVD and audio CD in 6 track surround sound, it is also the first classical music concert to be shot in 4K and post-produced entirely digitally using these 4K images as the source.
