Young director Sripathy is touching a milestone with his first film 'Kanimozhi'. With all support from producer T Siva of Amma Creations, the debutant is making live recording, which is not just exhaustive, but expensive too.

According to a source in the unit, only natural light has been used to shoot for the film. "We have recorded it using sync sound. Dubbing is only for heroine Shazahn’s character. Everyone else has done live recording."

On the difficulties involved in live recording, the source says: "The rent for camera will be high in normal shootings. But for films using live recording, the rent for the high quality recorder is higher than that of camera."

"Also, a silent power generator has to be used for live recording whose rent too is expensive," the source says and adds: “However, producer Siva is not bothered about it and is ready to spend to get a quality end product”.
