From Clicks to Cuts with Sudipta Chanda!

In this inspiring episode of One Take, we sit down with filmmaker and visual artist Sudipta Chanda, whose journey from engineering to cinema is nothing short of cinematic itself. Starting his career in the corporate world, Sudipta nurtured a quiet passion for photography—capturing everyday moments and sharing them on social media. What began as a hobby soon transformed into a calling, as his visual storytelling caught the attention of industry insiders.

His big break came with a project for Tollywood star Subhasree Ganguly, followed by a life-changing opportunity to work with Prosenjit Chattopadhyay, who appointed him as his personal photographer. From there, doors opened to collaborations with Surinder Films, Tata Sky, Ananda Bazar Patrika Entertainment, and eventually Bollywood icons like Hema Malini, Rani Mukherjee, and Varun Dhawan.

Now stepping into direction and scriptwriting, Sudipta is currently working on content for OTT platforms. In From Clicks to Cuts, he opens up about the courage it takes to change your path, the transition from still frames to storytelling, and the visual discipline that helped him shape a career on his own terms.

This episode is a masterclass in reinvention—and proof that sometimes, your passion really does frame your future.

Framing the Flow!

In the premiere episode of One Take, award-winning travel and documentary filmmaker Vibhu Singh takes us behind the lens of a one-take sunrise shot that transformed his career. Captured in the dunes of Rajasthan using minimal gear and limited time, this scene became a defining example of how motion, emotion, and environment can come together in a single, fluid moment. Vibhu breaks down his process—how he trusts instinct, works with natural light, and adapts on the fly when there’s no second chance.

He also reflects on his journey from being an engineering graduate to becoming a self-taught visual storyteller. Through social media, his photography turned into full-time filmmaking, leading to collaborations with major tourism boards and global brands. Vibhu shares why unpredictability fuels his creativity and how storytelling, when done honestly and efficiently, leaves a lasting impact. This episode is about more than the shot—it’s about the story behind it.
