i really dont know so much problem exists in technical side and ph side...😕

but i think its not the same in all the cases...

what can the actors do when they fall sick or some urgency...

the fault is oth sides ...and vary according to the situation...⭐️

Thanks vibraj, Liliworld, Pea, milindrose, Priya, Gina, sanw and riya for appreciating. 😊

My sole purpose was to bring to light the technical side and other production reasons for the use of BD's in serials. And I hope by reading this post if viewers who had earlier accused Pratyusha for being sick regularly and missing shoots, or being busy in parties and thus missing shoot, or throwing tantrums etc would stop and consider other aspects of her BD being clearly visible in the show and then form an opinion about her...

@ HemaG I am trying to say that if the BD of an actor is clearly visible to audience then it is the technical fault of director and editing team or a tactic of PH. Actor/ actress cannot be faulted here even if they are sick or have an emergency...Actors' can only be blamed when they give dates for shoots and miss them regularly without informing PH(which rarely happens) and believe me PH always sues the actors' for that.

BD's are used by every PH and in every serial , decision of using a BD lies with the Director and PH and not with the actors'. BD are used for different reasons- for saving costs of production, sometimes it is difficult to get the dates of all actors together for a scene, sometimes actors do have emergency or fall sick, sometimes there is a last minute change in script and few scenes have to be reshoot etc. But here I am not questioning the use of BD by PH (because it is necessary) I am questioning the visibility of BD to audience. If a BD is easily visible to audience who do not have technical knowledge then in my opinion it is the fault of only the Director and editing team and not the actor. With the help of technology available today BD should not be visible to audience , if it is visible then we as audience should question the technical expertise of the Production team and not blame the actor...

Really good and informative post 👏...what i feel is BV team is not good when it comes to technology...concentrating on story of rural India even there mind have become backward...it's so horrible the way they have photoshop new AnSh wedding photos...they are just not good with the camera and everything...sometimes i feel they delibretely show the mistakes like absence of real actors and and shots done by body double...someone here who is good at photoshop plz show them that they can come up with very good pictures of new AnSh even if they photoshop old pics...i mean seriously it looks as if some kid has edited the photos...i am not saying i am an expert in all this but it's their work and they are not doing it properly...why cannot the director see such mistakes when we audience can 😕

@libsrocks Thanks 😊

For blue text 🤣🤣

For red text even I feel that mistakes are left deliberately...

For green text I can feel for the person who had to morph the photos, it seems like the person who did the editing of pics did not want to do it but had to do it to save his/her job that is why such a half- hearted attempt 😉

most of us want to know why the Director cannot see it or maybe he does not want to see it !!!!!!

Its always good to get information from the people who are experts rather than who hav half baked knowlegde and try to act smart😆😆

Thanks for the info charu .Since you are into animations and editing your info can be trusted.

So the BDs are used for cost cutting by the PH ...then do a shoddy editting and later use is as an execuse to blame the actors/actress...for not being committed and audeince without and knowledge will def believe them.

Indian TV industry needs major revamping...

Thanks Neha...😊

Regarding the bold part completely agree with you, But for Indian TV industry to get revamped audience need to assertively convey to the channels and PHs' about the content, level of acting , level of technology, level of execution of content and the subject and themes of serials they want to watch on TV. Otherwise nothing is going to change 😔
