Mahesh Digital Video Studio

Mahesh Digital Video Studio sits in the Annai Complex, specifically at 8C on Thiruvalluvar Salai. Being so near the bus stand means we see a lot of people passing by every single hour of the day. The studio is a bit of a tight squeeze once you get the cameras, lights, and the editing desk all in one room together. There is usually someone sitting in the corner waiting for their photos or checking out a video we just finished. We spend a lot of time staring at computer screens, trying to get the colors and the cuts just right for people's weddings or local events. The noise from the buses pulling in and out of the stand is something you just get used to after a few days. Sometimes the air conditioning struggles a bit when it gets really humid outside, but we manage somehow. We have been here on Thiruvalluvar Salai for quite a while, and the locals know to come to us when they need something recorded well. It is not a glamorous job at all, just a lot of long hours and careful eye work. We have tripods standing in the corners and cables running across the floor that everyone has to jump over. It is a bit of a mess sometimes, but we know where all the important stuff is stored. People come in with their families, often in a hurry, and we try to get them sorted out as fast as we can. It’s a busy little studio, but we like it that way.
