#APPAVUM VEENJUM MALAYAM MOVIE MOVIE#
He was the cinematographer of the movie but for some unforeseen reason I had to shoot around 40 per cent of the film. “It was through the partially animated film O’Faby directed by Sreekuttan that I got the credit as cinematographer for the first time and was shared with Jayanan sir. Venugopal has also worked as operating cameraman for A Vincent’s many Telugu directorial ventures too. I did several movies including Malayalam and Telugu with him,” he says. It was a great experience to work with him. “I started my career as assistant cinematographer with Jayanan sir for the film ‘Anubandham’. But owing to the demise of Venugopal’s father, he could not join the crew. It was for ‘Uyarangalil’ that Jayanan called Venugopal to assist him. He directed me to Jayanan Vincent sir who was the regular cinematographer of Joshy and I V Sasi during ‘80s,” says Venugopal. It was MT sir who suggested me to go for practical study instead of academic classes. Naturally he approached M T Vasudevan Nair sir, who was my father’s friend, and discussed the matter. “Though my father - Madathil Narayana Panikker - was supportive, he was bit confused about my decision.
Though I was studying Electronics and Communication Engineering, the art of framing, lighting and the ‘post production works’ like washing and developing of photographs interested me more,” says Venugopal who discontinued his engineering course and later joined a film school in Chennai. My uncle had a photo studio called IAB near to my college and I was a regular visitor there. “It was during my college days in Coimbatore I got attracted to the world of photography. Venugopal got the first flavours of photography while he was in college.
