An intro animation for an engineering website

2010-07-09T04:41:00.000-07:00

This is a pre-launch video made for the same product. Duration:2 1/2 weeks

This was done for a new engineering automation products website launch. It was done by a team of 2 in a short duration of 2 days; with a lot of constraints from the client. My part was to work on complete storyboards, concept art and directing and working on this intro animation. Since the time was too short; couldn't try more. So, had to use a few basic options to delivery this on time. This intro shot is live on the company website http://www.pacific-galaxy.com/

Its a little difficult to chase your dreams but won give up!

2010-01-01T21:46:00.000-08:00

Well for now watch this one, didn't really get a chance to work more on these but just a few, but its a great team of Animators and really loved working with them at Gloomshade

Rasas

2009-08-05T10:52:00.000-07:00

Hey all,

Found this interesting article about Rasas when I was discussing a concept to a close friend of mine about animation. In fact, he had suggested me to go through this. And to my surprise, I definitely learn't something new. It is an interesting topic and very helpful for animators in analyzing and knowing about our characters emotions are.

It seems there are 9 Rasas or emotions, where all the emotions in the world can be categorized within these categories below.

Shringara
Hasya
Adbhuta
Shanta
Raudra
Veera
Karuna
Bhayanaka
Vibhatsa

And a thought for the day :
*[Milt] Kahl also hated having music or audio distractions while he was working, telling protegé Richard Williams that, “I’m not smart enough to do two things at once.” - This is also from his blog.

Mono Acting :]

Amatur video please excuse the guy who took this :]

Hey found this one after a long time, this was the first time when I really tried acting, Thanks to my class mates for tolerating. I was asked to do a momo act, so I decided to play two characters. Check this out. was a bad actor :]

Pantomime Script

2009-05-01T00:47:00.000-07:00

My favourite Pantomime is up and on its way to the end of blocking.

Hey I take up this as an oppurtunity to ask all to discuss any story. Would love to participate and help. This could be a good learning experience for both side :]

Well, wanted to post a rough script for my Pantomime:

A theatre stage with a mic in the front. an actor walks to the front of the stage and is about to deliver a dialog but forgets it. The audience are all irritated and they start throwing stuff at him.

1st a tomato, then a milk bottle, then a rubber duck, then an arrow, knife, stones, teeth, a guys wife etc and finally a tyre.

The tyre hits the back of the stage and then the entire backdrop falls off.

The audience shout

There are 2 people kissing eachother, as the backdrop falls off both of them are embarassed and then run off the stage.

Seeing this the audiance start liking the situation and they clap.

The actor thinks the audience are clapping for him suddenly and start bowing to the audience.

While the actor bows one of the guys again run from left to right or viceversa.
