00:00What is the name of the world?
00:30Basically, we've experimented on Instagram.
00:33I've been a filmmaker and a video editor in this field for a long time.
00:38But then, what's happening now?
00:42The short format of reels is a lot.
00:45Because the attention span is very low.
00:48So, we tried, basically, a rumor that G.D. Kashmir, G.D. Kashmir.
00:54So, we decided to make a video format of G.D.A. videos.
01:01And, when we saw that G.D.A. is a character.
01:07But, as we saw that people connect with Kashmiri dialect and their culture.
01:12So, we added that to Kashmiri culture.
01:15And then, G.D.A. is a little slow.
01:20So, we have time for Instagram.
01:23But, when it hits one video,
01:27Then, when it escalates, it's a good response.
01:30Almost, almost a day.
01:32Because, if the script is much longer for the shoot,
01:37Then, after that, the edit part, the post-production part,
01:41That's the time.
01:42Because, the gameplay, the map, the arrows, the edit.
01:46Then, after that, it takes 3-4 minutes to edit.
01:50So, it takes one day to edit.
01:52No, no.
01:53First, there is a scripting.
01:55After that, we see what locations are.
01:58Then, the shoot time is also very improvisation.
02:01Because, we think that if we can replace this scene,
02:04So, there is a improvisation on this idea.
02:07In fact, I have written in the bio, Halal Chaos.
02:11So, basically, what are we doing?
02:12For example, if we see missions in GTA,
02:14If we see missions in GTA,
02:15Like I said, there are prostitutions, blood, violence.
02:19That factor has been very subtle.
02:22And, we have replaced missions in the day-to-day life.
02:26So, remember, your mother told me,
02:29I have asked to take a bite.
02:31This is a mission.
02:32Now, when we have a mission in GTA-wise,
02:34We have a mission in the GTA-wise,
02:35That we have to take drugs.
02:36So, we have replaced the bite from the rice.
02:38And, that factor has also come.
02:40That is the Kashmiri factor.
02:41And, that is the Halal factor.
02:43So, we have implemented such things.
02:45We have to implement this.
02:46The brainstorming video is a few days before.
02:49Our team is also.
02:50Basically, we are sitting there.
02:51So, we collect ideas in that time.
02:54My role is acting.
02:59Direction, script, and concept.
03:01And, that is the whole concept.
03:03After that, I thought,
03:04To make this project more expressive,
03:06And more creative.
03:08After that,
03:09After that,
03:11I took my brother,
03:12Who handles the camera.
03:13And, that is a friend,
03:15Who supports us.
03:17And, that is,
03:19We have created a small group.
03:21Actor,
03:22Camera,
03:23Dialogue Writer.
03:24He is my friend.
03:25So, that is,
03:26We have 4-5 people in the team.
