A photography expert, movie engineer who is vast in almost every area of the Nigerian movie industry, the legend behind some movie productions nicknamed T.K which describes his name, Tunde Kelani paid an August visit to the university of Lagos mass communication department. The icon stated categorically that consistency and passion have been his strength behind the success of all his input and output. It was a lunch of words amongst the masters students, the lecturers in charge of the course that triggered the invitation and the master of movies as he enunciated that he travelled outside the country to a movie academy, but his passion has been the drive that made him to a stardom level of being a television icon.
Tunde Kelani narrated his ordeals as not being friendly, from the days he had to trek from home to where he was an apprentice, and how he had sacrificed some financial gains for better picture and story line quality. He never hid the onions as he emphasized that good story line is the secret behind a good photography which illuminates that the good picture quality of a badly sketched story wouldn't make the audience appreciate a well filmed picture. According to him, the whole production crew are tasked to put in their effort for a better outcome of every production, stating that a director shouldn't shoulder the abusive words when the whole production doesn't suit the viewing of its audience.
Some of the movies that are associated with TK's record are some indigenous films; 'Maami' a movie that featured Funke Akindele, Wole Ojo and a host of special appearances, Saworoide, and Agogo Eewo which is the second leading part of saworoide movie, and a host of other movies. And some of the movies engineered by him have been nominated for different awards by different academies.
Tunde Kelani was welcomed in a honourable manner by the head of the department of mass communication, Dr Abigail Ogwezzy , Professor Ralph Akinfeleye, Dr Ifeoma Amobi, and Mr Husseini Shuaibu for the visit to enlighten the students that are interested in the movie industry practice.
