Formation of PMC:

The Photography and Moviemaking Club (PMC) at IIT Mandi was founded by Uday Mittal from the 2009-2013 batch, following a conversation with then-Director Timothy Gonsalves. The club began as Shutterbugs, a group of photography enthusiasts with no professional equipment or professional knowledge. Their first significant investment was a D3200 camera, after documenting events like the Shivratri fair and a trip to Bijli Mahadev. In June 2017, PMC expanded to include Perception, led by coordinators Navneet Sharma and Parimal Kumar, a section dedicated to filmmaking, despite challenges in expertise, equipment, and team diversity.

Explaining Shutterbugs and Perception:

Perception and Shutterbugs are key sections of IIT Mandi's PMC. Perception crafts stories through movies, focusing on visual storytelling, while Shutterbugs captures moments through photography. Both divisions collaborate to blend storytelling with visual artistry. PMC also explores documentary filmmaking and conducts phototrips to enhance skills and gain diverse perspectives.

Core team and working:

The PMC at IIT Mandi's core team is rigorously selected for their expertise and commitment to photography and filmmaking. They lead the club's initiatives, managing diverse projects and hosting workshops and exhibitions. This team mentors the community, enhancing skills in visual arts. Coordinated by a dedicated individual and guided by a faculty advisor, this team ensures the club's activities align with academic standards and fosters a collaborative, creative environment, contributing significantly to the club's growth and success in the realms of photography and videography.
