Dil chahta hai 3D!

It took a cardiologist with a heart to spot the enthusiasm of a former pizza delivery boy to get FogSV Festival of Globe to be the first Film Festival in the world to be shot on 3D 360 virtual reality

He is 26,  sports a mohawk, wears a 3D tigerhead bag on his back, sports a slim stand set with two GoPro 180 degree cameras, and a 360 degree 3D camera, and glides effortlessly on a self-balancing scooter across all floors and can talk for hours on end. He is Raja Singh or 3D Raja, the young man who has been taken on by cardiologist Dr Romesh Japra to shoot the FogSV Festival of Globe in 3D virtual reality, the first film festival in the world to be shot in 3D 360 virtual reality.

A manager with Mind VR, a cinematic content creation company, a young man who till 12 months back, was a pizza delivery boy with Dominoes. “I delivered pizzas for eight years.  And at the same time, I learnt graphic designing and video editing three years ago. Fate brought him face to face with Guy Coggin, the CEO of Mind VR at an Indian musical show. The contagious energy of young Raja attracted Guy Coggin who was the man behind aura photography.

Coggin showed Raja a demo of virtual reality and he was hooked. “When I watch television, my mother cuts onions, and ten things happen at home simultaneously. Now, with Oculus Rift, I am into my own world, my space, my virtual reality. I knew this is what I wanted to do. The feeling of someone standing right there, you can feel that heat, that emotion – the television comes out, reaches out -- I love that effect.”

Raja studied the technology, how to shoot, edit and stitch, and then set out to make this technology work. A meeting with Dr Romesh Japra, and Raja was in. “Dr Japra had full faith in me. He gave me an opportunity to shoot the highlights in 3D without even taking a look at the world through my glasses. He is a knowledge bank. And his faith, it touched me.”

Raja has already shot the press conference, red carpet, interviews, and will shoot the event highlights in 3D. And seeing the celebrities lining up to get their interviews done, it looks like Raja Singh’s 3D world will clear up as he brings to life FogSV on 3D!

What next? “I have come to India to shoot the Golden Temple and then Amarnath. I have shown my mother London and Paris through 3D, but mom wants to see the Golden Temple and Amarnath but she cannot travel. So my first project in India will be dedicated to my parents and God. And then, I would like to shoot Salman Khan’s wedding!” Touche!

RISHI RICH, JAY SEAN AND JUGGY D RE-UNITE AS `THE RISHI RICH PROJECT’ TO CREATE “FREAK” – THEIR FIRST SINGLE IN 10 YEARS!

2 years after the smash hit ‘Dance With You’  (“Nachna Tere Naal”) reached number 12 in the UK Singles Chart, the reunion track that millions of fans across the world have been waiting for is finally here!

RnB sensation Jay Sean, the Punjabi Rockstar Juggy D and legendary producer Rishi Rich promised fans that they would come together to create a special track that epitomized the combined talents of these three global superstars.

“FREAK” is probably the most anticipated release of the decade and it’s sure to delight and surprise both hard core followers of the three stars, but is also guaranteed to bring a whole new generation of music lovers to the fore.

Recorded in their hometown of London, “Freak” features the classic RnB tones that have made Jay Sean a force to be reckoned with and made him the first singer of Indian origin to have a #1 song in America, combined with Juggy D’s instantly recognizable and powerful Punjabi lyrics, all meshed together by the magic that has made Rishi Rich THE producer of choice for a huge array of global artists..

Writing and producing the track has been somewhat of a challenge, given the crazy schedules the boys have had, but all three of them were completely committed to coming together to recreate the atmosphere and build on the long term relationship that has always been part of their creative process. Finally coming together earlier this year, it’s plain to see that the chemistry the three of them have is still alive and kicking!

Rishi says of the experience: "When we originally got together we were just 3 friends from West London wanting to make music, we didn't realize the impact it would have. The Rishi Rich Project really shaped all 3 of us in perfecting our craft. The chemistry we have when we get together in the studio is pure magic and we have a lot of fun. We are like brothers, always have been and always will be. Working on Freak was amazing. It's hard to find artists who are really tuned into each other's skills and bring the best out of each other."

Jay Sean says: “This song has been one of the most fun experiences I’ve had in all my time writing and recording, getting back in the studio with my best friends, my brothers, to do something special for our fans after over a decade, so much laughter and fun in the process. I hope our fans enjoy this as much as we enjoyed making it.” 

Juggy D adds: “The fans really supported “Dance With You” and I think they’ll love this new vibe! Loved working with my brothers again….we are just about to turn up the FREAK-UENCY!”
