He always reminds me of my poor uncle Podger.You never saw such a commotion in your life as when my uncle undertook to do a job.
What should be done with the picture?
Oh!You leave that to me.I'll do all that.
Then he would begin
Now, you bring me some nails.
Okay.
Now you go to the girl and tell her about the size to get.
Okay.

Now you go and get my hammer, Will.
You bring me the rule Tom; and I shall want the step-ladder and I better have the kitchen-chair too.
Jim!You run to Mr.Goggles and tell him 'Pa's kind regards hopes his leg better; and will lend him his spirit-level?

And don't you go anywhere, Maria, because I shall want someone to hold me the light; and when the girl come's back she must go out for a bit of picture cord
Tom! Where's Tom?-Tom, you come here; I shall want you to hand me up the picture.
And then he would lift up the picture,and drop it,and it would come out of the frame,and he would try to save the glass,and cut himself;and then he would jump round the room,looking for his coat.

Now all the house had to leave looking for his tools, and start looking for his coat, while he would dance round and hinder them.
Doesn't anyone in this house knoiw where my coat is?I never came across such a set in my life-upon my work.I didn't.Six of you!-and you can't find a coat that I put...
...down not five minutes ago! Well, of all the-
Then he'd get up and find that he had been sitting on it, and would call it:
Oh, you can't give it up! I've found it myself now. Might just ask the cat to find anything as expect you people to find it.
When half an hour was spent tying his finger, a new glass had been got tools,ladder,candle,chair had been brought.Everyone including the girl and the charwoman,standing in a semi-circle,ready to help.

A fifth would pass him a hammer.
He would take hold of the nail and drop it
Ah!Now the nail's gone.
And we would all have to grovel for it, while he would grunt.The nail would be found at last but he would have lost tha hammer.

Where's the hammer?Great heavens!Seven of you and can't find the hammer.
We would have foiund the hammer but he would have lost sight of the mark he had made on the wall wher the nail has to go in.
Can you come here and tell where the mark is?
And he would again measure it,and find that he wanted half thirty-one three-eightsinchesfrom the corner.

He would try to do the calculations in his head, and go mad.
And we would try to do it in our heads and all arrive at different results, and sneer at one another,
He would use a bit of string this time and it would fall down.

I won't allow the children to stand there and hear such language.
By the time he would have fixed the spot and put the point of the nail and take the hammer on his right hand.On one blow he smash his thumb.
If you're going to continue this I'm going to soend a week with my mother.
Oh!You women make a fuss over everything.Why I like doing a job of this sort.

 

About midnight the picture would be up crooked and insecure.
There you are,why some people would have had a man in to do a work like that

No one can beat Hollywood when it comes to making films with animals in them.
I remember films in my childhood and there were quite a few of them that had alsatin called Rin Tin Tin. This dog's acting is more impressive than a human's.
Irealized how reverently these animal-actors were treated when I happened to see the shooting of a movie in Disney Studio.

The main character was a shaggy dog .Ireached the studio that the shooting had not started;the cameraman was getting the lights ready.
It is customary for actors to be present when the lights are arranged, for they have to show the cameraman how they'll walk or where they'll stand in a particular shot.
In the case of a very famous stars, this is done by a stand-in.

Here in Disney Studio I noticed that a few actors were moving about in the set, and on one side, standing quitly was the protagonist`-the same dog.
The cameraman shoted everyone to take their positions.
But the dog remained where it was.This puzzled me.Could it not be required in the next shot?

In the case of a very famous star this job is done by their stand-ins.A stand-in is a person similiar to the real star.The stars arrive only after the lights are ready.
Here in the studio I noticed a few actor, moving in a set.Standing quietly was the dog.The cameraman shouted to everyone to take their place.But the dog remained as it is.Could it not be required?
Before I could ask someone an odd thing happened,from nowhere apeared a dwarf followed by a man carrying a dog skin.Then to my amazement the dwarf sat and the dog's skin was put on him.

The cameraman got busy with the lights.It finally dawned upon me that this dwarf was paid to be the dog's stand-in!
We had a problem when shooting GOOPY GYNE BAGHA BYNE.This story is about a tiger and a man where they talk.

The manager's tet was qyite large and complete with furniture and linen.

Boy, call Mr.Thorat.
Yes sir.
Mr.Thorat was the ring-master.
The shooting takes place near Shiuri.We want the tiger in a bamboo grove.Can your tiger do this?
Yes.How long will you need him?
Maybe a couple of hours for shooting.But that would be addition in time it'll take travel to and from Shiuri.
Okay.We'll send the tiger in the lorry inside a cage.

Do you think it's easy to set an animal free in the wild?
I'm not sure.I never let him out of his cage on his own,So really I don't know.
What!Were all our plans going to fail.How could Goopy and Bagha be petrified with the animal.No we could'nt allow this to happen.
I'll tie a wire around the tiger's neck.It'll be thin but strong.
Good idea!But you'll have to find a very long wire.
That's not a problem.The free end should be tied to an iron rod.

We finalized everything in ten minutes.
So please be here at....
Please do not worry sir Everyting will be fine.
We found a suitable bamboo grove to film.
Mr.Thorat's men fixed a five-foot rod.Threefifths was underground.The wire was tied to tiger skin collar which was put on the tiger and the other end to the rod.

We were ready.The door of the cage was unfastened.Mr.Thorat called the tiger.It responded and sprang out of its cage and landed on the open space outside.
Instead of walking calmly it was prancinng around.It leapt, jumped. rolled and was dragging its trainer who was clutching to the wire.
After approximately five minutes of madness the tiger calmed down.
A suddden taste of its natural environment had probably gone to his haed.

We managed to take a few shots we needed.However an another problem arose.The tiger was suppoed to jump on a stool.
UP!
The tiger ignore Mr.Thorat completely.It seemed more interested in tasting few bamboo leaves on the stem.
A tiger that chewed bamboo leaves could definitely not be a cannibal.The camera was taken closer to the tiger and used the remaining film to shoot the un-tiger-behaviour.

The tiger covered a distance of nearly sixty feet in a second.
This was teh end of the story.But when we saw the scenes it turned out to be that the camera was not working.
Sir, we need the tiger again since the camera wasn't working.

Now,every inhabitant was present during the shooing.We told the villagers not to stand near the camera.
I should not waste my time with the people, arguing.
When we opened the door the tiger roared and charged straight to the villagers.

Strangely after a great burst of energy it calmed down.Like an obedient child it quiely did as it was required.
Even the camera behaved this time.When we returned to Calcutta and saw the scenes shot.
