This is the story of the Abhiramapuram families tracing their ancestral roots, and reviving their lost family bonds.

The families had their roots in Abhiramapuram, a small village in the Thanjavur District. Most of their family members are now living in cities in India and abroad. The family was able to trace their ancestry to eight generations back.

The film documents the origin of the family and the changes encountered by them over the years.

The film was extensively shot in Abhiramapuram and five other surrounding villages. We interviewed the family members of different branches of the family.

Important events and special memories in the lives of their forefathers were portrayed through illustrated drawings. Old photographs and video footages of the families were also used to tell the story.

We did the rerecording  for the film. The background score was Carnatic based, and a Bharathiyaar song was specially rendered for the film.

Screened in the reunion of the family members, the film was well received by both the older and the younger generation.

From scripting to delivery, we completed the entire film in a short period of two weeks.

Everyone is raving about Extra Terrestrials, the live show produced by Show Space. Nextwave played a small role to make the show a success.

We worked closely with Show Space to design and develop a website on the event, ‘www.etwow.in‘.  The client’s brief was that the website should convey the ‘wow’ factor, which the show was promising. As the website was central to the communication plan, and was the potential audience’s first ‘touch point’ with the event, we put our creative brains together to come out with a design that would make the visitor immediately click on the ‘Book Your Tickets Now’ button for online ticket booking.

Besides the event website, we also worked on a number of audio-visuals. The first was a 3-minute AV that built up the excitement by showcasing performance videos of the eight artistes. This video was used to sell the event to potential sponsors, and was also included in the event website for the potential audience to get a better feel of what was on offer.

Two more AVs were produced by us for screening before the start of each show of the event. With a fast-paced thumping music track, the first AV gave glimpses of the various kind of work done by Show Space for their clients. And the second AV was a curtain raiser that captured the zest of the Extra Terrestrials show.

Instead of a live show presenter, the client felt a recorded voice would be a better option to host the show. So, we opted for a foreign voice artiste to maintain the international flavour and tempo of the show.

The voice was recorded abroad, and the complete packaging was done in a record time of two days. As we expected, it enhanced the watching experience of the audience.
