Peoplessss, the below video was shot inside our office for our 2008 annual day celebrations.
Directed by: KK (Krishna Kumar)
Story & Screenplay, SFX by : Vimmuuu (oh, that’s me !)
Editing, Cinematography by : VJ (Vijay Shankar)
Premise:
A ghost 'accidently' enters the sales floor of Synaptris at 12 am during the quarter end. The US sales force which works during the night hours, commonly referred as the ‘Graveyard Shift’ were the only people left in the building. Little did she know that the sales force is even scarier than her likes during the quarter-end because of the sales pressure. The ghost experiences a tough time trying to scare them, but all her efforts go in vain. She gets fed up, frustrated and bored, and begins to leave when she suddenly realizes something !
It is a 09. 31 video and could be viewed by any age group as it does not have obscenity in any form. The end credits would help you understand the cast and crew.
***Spoilers ahead ***
Now few words from me as the scriptwriter (Man! Am I enjoying this or what ???) :
Its my first attempt at 'physical' scripting (in 3hrs flat :D). So please, don’t look for logic. It’s as nonsensical as a David Dhawan or a Priyadarshan movie. The histrionics you watch in the video is just a replica of what we actually do during our office timings. A couple of scenes had to be altered taking the actors image and situation into consideration. For example, the video starts with the ghost entering the gate when the security enquires about the ID card and later on the ghost takes the lift to reach us. And the scene involving me was supposed to be entirely different; I would be opening my blog and compelling the ghost to go through my latest post. But according to the director, that would spoil my image and so the next best characteristic of mine was shot. The video was supposed to end with the wallpaper scene “When in doubt, just sell”, but we extended it a little bit from there to....ummm…to…aaah! don’t ask me, ask the director !!!
Please drop in your comments about the video.

Good one,the initial part sound[dialogues] was not a bit clear but later on it got better.And who is that guy who scares away ghosts with his singing :D :D
:D LOL....
Saw this with mute button pressed (due to some reason) but was busy giggling away to glory :D
LOL :) I have not seen your other ghosts and I am still new here, first there was that bisexual song and now this !!!!
This one had be laughing aloud, and feeling very sheepish when the maid came to see if I was delirious (I have slight fever today)
This was such mad, insane fun. Brilliant. My kids will love it too :)
Vimz, for some reason the video itself does not appear when I open your page.....perhaps the f/w that secures my network @ work is blocking it off......Will keep trying though!
youtube is blocked at work. At home, wireless too slow to download anything. Please email me the video file so taht I cn dwnlaod at work n watch.
Delete this message lest my boss sees it.

@ Solilo :
Welcome to V-Lokam.
Thanks a lot for dropping in your comments.
yup, really happy for ARR.He deserves it, just that its too late a recognition for him. I must have watched the video where he received the GG a dozen times by now. Such humble and modest human beings are rare.
Vimmuuu - I accidently played it when she was around - and she got obsessed with the hair :)Was worried that I scared her - but luckily , it was all about the hair for her :)
ROFL..I loved the part when the Ghost got scared when at dude at 2.20 turns back..lol..her look then is fantastic.(I think she acted well)
Very well done
Nimmy
