When the ports like many other Govt. organisations were made into a profit center Tuticorin Port Trust officials felt the need to project the port to the shippers the world over. And this film was made. Concept The port users look for various facilities that are available to them, if they were call on the port. The most important aspect they look for is the turn around time as they call it or the time it will take for the ship to be berthed goods off loaded and new cargo loaded and to sail away from the port. Understandably every port user dreams of a quick turn around. So the film begins with the title 'Every port user's dream" and goes on to present a montage of shots, depicting the arrival of the ship at the destination, it being berthed formalities completed and it sails off with new cargo to a new destination. All these shots are shown in fast motion, implying that all attention is focused o the ship to help a faster turn around time.
Most of the shots are live action shots and present an impressive picture of the Tuticorin port. Added to this are the shots of variety of goods that are being shipped through Tuticorin port. The film also dwells on the possibility of Tuticorin becoming a hub port like that of Singapore port. The film was shot in beta and edited in non linear edit suite - Avid It had a number of graphics - both 2D and 3D.
