Sabah, do you know how many times i have watched this vm over and over its BEAUTIFUL, and how you layed out everything its just heartouching, the whole flow of the vm was truly magnificant.
In the begining, you voice his despair for her, asking her not to leave him all alone but she leaves and he becomes lonesome without her as she completed his world...and now it have become empty without her, he lives with her memories in her heart even though its painful, gruesome he still lives because even with her memories he had reasons to live.
Their is angry, pain, hurt, sadness, love everything is there, but she is not there by his side..Sabah you made me all emotional now!
I loved how you you used particular pictures as a reminescent of memories of her for him..and the blue - ish effect just perfect for it...its all so sad like as if the color is washing down on me..its weird but watching i felt his loneliness...which means you have done an amazing job at this vm.
And at the end with him there in the rain all alone... i think i will actually cry now because his love so true so much hope is still there but so much pain and loneliness is there also...You have truly created a masterpiece through this.
I really wished you could have entered this because it matched the theme so perfectly..but its fine because i still got to see your creation and in my eyes you have already won the prize for creating this piece Sabah.
thank you for sharing it.
Sanam.

Sanam, your reply made my heart smile. It isn't that my vm is as wonderful as you say BUT rather because your heart found something worthwhile. It is beautiful because you view through the beautiful lens of your heart. Dil se thanks, for in truth my aim was never for praise just the movement of hearts. I can not say that it is anything near as moving as your vms, that always rock my soul! However I never compare just let it be, let it live within its own boundaries. 😃😳

"Friends will keep you sane, Love could fill your heart, A lover can warm your bed, But lonely is the soul without a mate." It is ignorance is bliss OR to love and lost is better than never loving at all? Even though I would say the second, there is something about that loneliness after having found completeness that scorches our souls as we seek to find peace of mind in and amongst those pieces of our heart.
Sabah, do you know how many times i have watched this vm over and over its BEAUTIFUL, and how you layed out everything its just heartouching, the whole flow of the vm was truly magnificant.I fear you are being too kind. You really are very kind hearted. 😳
In the begining, you voice his despair for her, Do you know how to remove that background score just leaving his dialogues, that BG score detracts from the intensity, I think AND I wished I could have done that. I couldn't find a YT tutorial. 😳asking her not to leave him all alone but she leaves and he becomes lonesome without her as she completed his world...and now it have become empty without her, he lives with her memories in her heart even though its painful, gruesome he still lives because even with her memories he had reasons to live.
Their is angry, pain, hurt, sadness, love everything is there, but she is not there by his side..Sabah you made me all emotional now!

Sanam, you understood exactly what I wished to say. In the beginning, that flashback, where all is black and white, that moment he loses her, even after laying open his vulnerability, JUST like we feel at that moment in the aftermath of defeat, that ALL the colour has gone from our world. Yet that blue aura that becomes to bleed through, bleach our moods.

However this was my point, that our moods, just like colours were always present before too, just in different intensities. That one day we realize that we can not get over it or move on without a sentiment, without sadness or the colour blue, it is a part of our world, as it always was. True it is a little more vivid, more fierce, fervid but it it can not be separated from us. In this way we learn to carry it with us, and in this way we begin to heal.

That was my sliver lining. That last KJ moment, after those differentiating pictures,that slow, jagged jolt back to reality, accepting reality, IT IS not blue tinged, for that blue has merged back within his soul, merged back into his world, so that he now moves on WITH his memories, NOT in spite or despite them, BUT because of them. 😳 I know explaining my vm is cheating, for it should speak for itself BUT you really are the only one who understood where I was trying to guide hearts to (Muskan's review is pending)
And at the end with him there in the rain all alone... i think i will actually cry now because his love so true so much hope is still there but so much pain and loneliness is there also...You have truly created a masterpiece through this. You know there is something about carrying the hurt, the pain with you that I love. It isn't about being a martyr or unable to move on BUT rather it is about the strength to feel the depth of love by feeling the depth of its hurt too. True courage, or rather that strength of courage, is not found through victory BUT rather through rising to fight again after a defeat.

That brightness of the colour in those scenes with Nupur are so beautiful because blue is present there too. We must learn to love openly even if vulnerably, so that our world is bright and colourful to THAT intensity EVEN at the risk, the cost of the loneliness that may befall us, for in truthwhat is the worth of one moment of happiness?
I really wished you could have entered this because it matched the theme so perfectly..but its fine because i still got to see your creation and in my eyes you have already won the prize for creating this piece Sabah. Sanam, your reply is enough, actually it is everything! In truth my shoddy editing, and lack of technical effects and slightly hazy meaning and muddles piecing together really isn't up to IF standards. HOWEVER, I loved that you understood what I tried to do and EVEN more than that you allowed your beautiful heart to flow there. I am indebted. With much love, Sabah 😳

Sanam.

Well actually there is history behind this, On Friday, I tried using WMM and got so frustrated that I deleted it off my hard drive, ending my wm career BUT my sister was so upset at my quitting that she got me Sony Vegas Pro 9 yesterday and with the help of Youtube tutorials I made this.

If you need links for Vegas, then let me know OR there is this thread,

https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/post/38104583

Or I can ask my sister. Just let me know.

With much love, Sabah

Hey Sabah 🤗

So here I am 😳 Well where to start ? Firstly i was pleasantly surprised tht u make VM's =)
Coming to Blue..I really liked it..m not a VM-maker but from what i gather its a tough Job, n u hv done some amazing work...Beautiful narration n selection of scenes 👏 ⭐️

Initially Mayank's voiceover telling Nupur to Stay..ah Arjun has tht voice which would carry al the way to my heart..It created an impact, Good beginning =)

Dhruv-Nupur smiling with arms around each other walk away, Mayank..angry..troubled- she knws tht she turned, he does too, he saw her turn.
Agony- Mayank punching the Bag..which inturn hits him..anger again.. Flashbacks of them together...tellin His cherished tale..his past...u tried to convey his side of story and connect viewers..and when the message had been passed...there's a Stillness in which u give words to his inner dilemma- How do u get past this? A very good question, something which settles in somewhere, food for though but u answered It in words...You dont. Acceptance In the rain, he closed his eyes n saw her there in his arms..a Happy Memory..the various tangles in his mind are being washed away by the rain n now all tht is left is an emptiness..The end had a finish...specially the sound of rain..nicely done.

U portrayed the heartbreak really well..and the message (wat i gather) Bad things Happen with everyone and so happened to Mayank...he was pained n broken...and with time he learned to accept it...take in the loneliness,but even then there was a void in his heart...which even the heavy pit-patter of the rain cudnt fill in..smthin tht wud stay forever..

Rain to me symbolises pain n gloom
The use of color blue n the title r quite intriguing, the colour blue usually depicts peace n calm while here its sumthin totally different..But often people use it to express sadness..'m feeling blue today' ... is tht the connection..please shed some light =)

Luv
ZeeJay! =)

So here I am 😳 Well where to start ? Firstly i was pleasantly surprised tht u make VM's =)Actually this is only my second one. After one year hiatus. I am not a fan of vming making JUST the vms. 😆

I loved that moment too, that moment when you let go of your soul and offer your heart openly. It is akin to being naked. It reminds me of one of my favourite poems. Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams
Dhruv-Nupur smiling with arms around each other walk away, Mayank..angry..troubled- she knws tht she turned, he does too, he saw her turn. Yes, I am glad you caught that, DESPITE my shoddy editing. Very poorly done. 😳

I love, just loved this interpretation. Although in all honesty I did not create to have such meaning, BUT I am glad you found it there.

I have always loved the theme of Gunjan and rain & Mayank and rain, in MJHT. Gunjan's promo entrance showed her with an umbrella, shielding herself from it 'touching her' and her transformation to that beautiful scene where she allows herself to become drenched in it, as she did with Samrat's love. I love how in nature we are made up of earth and water, like the planet. Once a scholar noted that light penetrates water but not earth. In this way we too are made from that which allows light in and parts that do not allow light in. This metaphor of the weather, or rain pours through SaJan's story. As we mentioned before the promo where Gunjan protects herself from the harshness of a cold world but thereby also protects herself from the pleasures of the earth. Then Samrat comes opening her heart, mind and soul to its wonders, so she abandons the umbrella and lets herself become soaked.

That Rose day, when she thought is was a declaration of love, she let herself drown, right until she saw those colours of petals. Then the pool party, when Samrat forced nature to shower her, in the pink of blossoming love. Then after court party, the glittering of falling stars entrance as destiny illuminated to Samrat the light that had always been shining in front of him. Then that PBM, finally that shower of petals over flowing in the red of Samrat's bursting, beating, overwhelming love. Then finally as your vm showed they Finally the night they came together, in the rain, NO UMBRELLAS IN SIGHT!

Then then final shower of blossoming love, those tress naturally showering them in their own haya. Proving to me, that true love can not be forced, it flows naturally, like the stages of SaJan, we must just trust destiny and become drenched in true love! Drenched in Sajan!

Here I see love being that light, that Mayank finally allows to permeate deep into his soul, his bones and his very being. HOWEVER, it is quite a contrast to your interpretation of my vm AND as I said, I never envisioned it as such. However I truly do love the view you framed for me.

U portrayed the heartbreak really well..and the message (wat i gather) Bad things Happen with everyone and so happened to Mayank...he was pained n broken...and with time he learned to accept it...take in the loneliness,but even then there was a void in his heart...which even the heavy pit-patter of the rain cudnt fill in..smthin tht wud stay forever..Rain to me symbolises pain n gloom
The use of color blue n the title r quite intriguing, the colour blue usually depicts peace n calm while here its sumthin totally different..But often people use it to express sadness..'m feeling blue today' ... is tht the connection..please shed some light =)

For me the best art is that which allows the audience to illuminate nuances within a vagueness by the light refracted through their heart's whims and desires. I truly did like your view of my vm AND you can leave it there, for it is beautiful. However I add an elucidation because you ask, although a vm should really speak for itself.

In the beginning, that flashback, where all is black and white, that moment he loses her, even after laying open his vulnerability, JUST like we feel at that moment in the aftermath of defeat, that ALL the colour has gone from our world. Yet that blue aura that becomes to bleed through, bleach our moods.

Dont feel sad Sabah...I really didnt mind watchin this one, It was beautiful...and i would hv done it myself nyway...wud hv even fought with u as to why u didnt PM me 😆 I knw u dont like tht..What i mean to say is... I can luk past my favs for a dear friend like you =)

I Love watchin VM's too...VM-makin is sumthin i hv never given a thought..its too complicated 😆

That scene is one of my favs on Arjun's part...He is a fab actor...n at some parts He Shines like no other..In every epi there are these scenes which become the limelight...Arjun has had his golden moments in my eyes a Lot..which is one of the reasons i hv great appreciation for him as an actor.
Lovely lines u quoted from the Poem.. It has rendered me speechless 😳

M not surprised, I never get u right as u told me once 😆 but m glad tht this became our next platform for discussion 😳

@gray- what a wonderful observation.. very true indeed =)
@green- I gather its a comment u made on sm1's VM..can i hv the link to it? I wud luv to watch it..comin back to the topic..You have an eye for the tiny details and i hv always said u add beauty to the subject at hand with ur words..for me atleast, because i dont really look into details much often...its only at times..which is quite rare..for u it has become an habit n you have to try and not look at details 😳 I love ur interpretation for Gunjan...In her case beauty is always hidden among subtle lines, a person with a keen eye can truly understand and respect Gunjan for who she really is..and u are one of them =)

@bold- So he was letting it all In...yes very contrasting, i love your interpretation, didnt thnk abt it tht way...But its alright i guess as u mention (text in red) different people regard a piece of art differently. Only the creator can knw its true worth but ofcoz there's always hope for tht One who wud understand...

@Red- I am left spellbounded, I dont think i would have been able to get to the depth of it without your help, for its unique and fresh meaning, something i have never witnessed nor read about, And now i get the true meaning of the title and the very essence of the whole VM, I knew that Blue was not merely an effect it had a deeper meaning, but i couldnt comprehend it, and now when i realise its true meaning...i find this piece of work a true genius..!
It makes me aware of my own shortcoming's too.. how i wish i could have gotten to the depth of it on my own...It would be like the hunt for a treasure...and reaching to the depth of it would be an accomplishment..one that would not only give the sense of satisfaction, but leave me tingling on the new found aspect, but nonethless i am deeply fascinated even though it is now a lil tinged with the thought that u had to word your work inorder to pass along the Message engraved in the details of the VM...which is never what the creator wishes for...
At the end of ur VM u gave words to ur thought, but it was far beyond me...The words were just a glimpse of the whole message.

A well- crafted VM..am gonna watch it again, Favourite it in YT and save ur reply, For i would like to get back to it, when i feel like...its truly a masterpiece =)

Lots of Luv
ZeeJay! 🤗

Sabah Di,

Firstly, I apologise for the delay. 😳 Seemingly, vacations are not exactly vacations.

It was no surprise to me that you made VMs, even if this was just your second. I had watched your first one, (thanks to Kankshita😃) and loved it. Forgive me, I forgot to mention it to you.😳

I believe there is a specimen of uniqueness in every artist. Yours is that you capture the essence wonderfully.⭐️

I have practically no sense in VM making and its dynamics, but this VM of yours has touched my heart. I watched it over and over and over again, until i could gain my senses back, come back to this world again and type this out for you.

I rather not mention what I loved the best in it, for the beauty of your VM lies in its absolute.

I'd just say, you've left tiny tears in my eyes.

Love,
Akansha :)

Reserving, so i remember to watch this ..:D

I'l watch when i get home, just came here simply... Nd thank god i came, or else i wouldn't hv knwn tht u make vm... Am so super excited!!!!
😆

Edited!

First of all Please Pardon me for being so late!
Finally am here :)
I dont know anything about the making of VM, and I am feeling a little nervous to comment, I liked it a lot and I dont know if I;ll be able to express it properly :) I am really not so good in commenting!

The theme was tragedy, and I must say Sabah Dii it was brilliantly portrayed by you in just 2.40 mins! It was complete!
The title is just perfect... Blue... which depicts all.
"Mat jaao" The start was just superb. The way you showed Mayank's journey is really brilliant. You showed it all - Love, hurt, Pain, anger...
I loved the lines in between where you said, A person learns to live with the past...
and also the last lines... ''Although I have lived my life alone, without you now , I find myself lonely"
These line says so much... It sums up the whole story... It really touched my heart!
I like to read tragic love stories, because you never forget them... they remain with you.
And this is one of the video which will remain with me :)

Your work is really brilliant. They way you have worked on every detail is luminous! Even the music selection...
I loved the musical tragic love story - Blue :) !

It was my honor to comment on your work!

Take care
With Love

Samidha :)

Dearest Cotton Ball,
You never fail to surprise me. Just when I was feeling really low today, your email popped up in the mail box and I was smiling by the time I finished reading it.
And yes, here is your hug... 🤗
First of all, I'm sorry that I'm commenting late. Pardon me, I'm not a regular visitor of IF, but I love to come here for my friends like you. And today you gave me a wonderful reason to visit MJHT forum after long time.😳
Your VM making skill does not surprise me at all. I have seen your attention to detail on my VMs and I have seen how your mind picks up the tiniest details and musical story which other VM makers are trying to present. And having that mind means you have it in you to make a great VM maker yourself. Plus I have seen your first VM and have loved it, even though I never commented on it that time. But how can you say that I shouldnt watch this? I love MN, but I love presenting them in different themes, different stories. I love experimenting and more than that I admire creativity and art. And you know me, right? So let me be the judge myself if I like the VM or not. :P 😆
When I first watched it earlier tonight, I was left in tears and gloominess, which means you have done a great job of making a perfect tragedy VM. Watching tragic love stories and stories of longingness, pain, hurt and sad endings, make my heart cry inside for days. Such stories leave me with an intense impact that I never want to forget those. One such love story is A Walk To Remember. How do you see your love die in front of your eyes? How do you get past and live with her memories? Sigh... Everytime I watch that movie, it bleeds my heart. But it makes me strongly believe in true love. I love such tear-jerker movies which stir my emotions inside. And that's exactly what your VM has done here. 👏
Your VM beautifully paints a blue tragic story of Mayank. It starts with a pleading "Mat Jao" from Mayank. The start itself makes a correct impact of what is coming next. And then it follows with Nupur leaving Mayank and walking with another man. Tears clouding his eyes and then he comes down on his knees... but she has already left him... perfectly edited...⭐️
And then I loved the whole sequence of Mayank's agony...his present and his past...the flashbacks of his memories with Nupur... whole sequence is beautifully done. I loved how you showed his efforts to move on with his life with the punching bag scene. He is angry, he is hurt... and he is trying to move on.. trying to get past the fact that she has left him. With each punch, her still images flash in front of his eyes. He punches hard in anger, he punches hard to forget her. But he fails miserably.(and literally falls down on his back too.) Brilliant use of the scene.⭐️
And then you show the past in colors while keeping the sad present in the gloomy hue of blue. Marvelous!!⭐️⭐️ The flashbacks used are their happiest times together and that intensifies their seperation as tragedy. The use of fanaa scene and the beads falling on the floor with matching music in the background, the VM here becomes very serious... highlighting their tragic story... How do you get past this? You dont. Sigh... I love you for this amazing piece... the lines make the VM very meaningful. 👏
Following those lines... Mayank standing in the rain...closes his eyes...and remembers beautiful memories of his married life... first night..sajda scene...anniversary scene.. all those blisssful moments of their married life... he soaks himself in those memories. Brilliant use of khuda jaane rain sequence combined with marriage scenes. It leaves the viewer with a heavy heart and tears in the eyes. That is BEAUTIFL Sabah.⭐️
Lastly, Nupur's twirl on the guitar's high note... Mayank soaking in the rain... trying to feel her back in his arms... trying to feel her close to his heart. She is gone long ago... reality strikes him... he comes down on his knees... beautifully done. And then sound of heavy rain...and him laying down drenching in that rain... drenching in her memories... Although I have lived my life alone, without you, I find myself lonely... You are genius Sabah. Awesome editing and presentation.👏
And you achieved that in just 2 minutes and 40 seconds??? It deserves a big applaud Sabah. 👏
Looking forward to more such master pieces from you.
Love u sis
Archana
