there is a fair chance i might have a proper website of my own soon… the whole domain jazz… will update you guys more on that… 

Until Then…

New category added

Now that my VFS reel is in its final phase….

i have added a new category where ill publish my animation reel from VFS, as well as changes, updates, stills and posters related to the Reel.

The name of the new category….??

“The Last Dodo“…..

The Last Dodo… into final post production!

its been almost 4 months since i wrote something on this site….

been busy for most of the time…. lots of planning, working and sleeping in school itself…. I’ve been home very rarely… Its been fun though…. never slogged so much in my life…. and i feel like my reel is turning out to be okay….

After 6 months of bringing my reel from mind – paper – computer screen i have finally reached the finish line! and it feels great!

Before i get to anything, for those who dont know whats going on, I just finished my Demo Reel “the Last Dodo”…. which is basically a 3D short about a caveman and a dodo…

I created my caveman with help from some of the instructors basic models … but the dodo concept was all mine! I love that bird…. since its all me! then i rigged both the characters and animated it for the rest of the months!

Then finally, to give a fancy look with help from a buddy in school i used “Renderman” to develop the final look of my reel.

Now , i have an edit session and a sound meeting left, after which i will show the poster and the reel on this site… hope you guys will look through it and enjoy the movie….

Thanks to all those who supported me throughout!

Thats all for now…. more updates to come pretty soon.

Peace!

The Last Dodo

Hey Folks,

Im working on my animation project in VFS. The name of the Project is “the Last Dodo”.

Not revealing too much about the concept for good reasons. Here’s the gist though!

“Its a short about a hungry caveman and the last dodo on the face of the earth! Set in the Prehistoric era, the conflict is : Will the caveman enjoy a delicious Dodo Potpie or will the Dodo be able to postpone its rendezvous with extinction???”

I started working on the concept since March after my story was approved. Hopefully, its gonna be hillarious once its complete…. The project is expected to be done by August and i just finished the Pre-Production stage of the reel. It was phenomenal developing my characters. I really enjoyed making the characters and the scenes for the story (esp. the “dodo”)… i just got the characters completely rigged and ready for animation.

From May (first week) i shall begin animating!!! lots of fun!!! lots of excitement!!! Hoping for the best!

Cheers!

Super Denim

“Super Denim” was one of those assignments that wont be forgotten!

It was an “After Effects” class project… and 6 of us decided to work on a concept hero called Super Denim… and the whole point of this project was to make a cheesy foreign superhero movie and to know how to work with the green screen.

We got Muhammad Ali from our class to be the main hero, Svenni is White Cobra and Anna is Krystal Kandy!!!

We all worked on a particular shot individually. The shooting for this movie was amazing and the thought process we had to go through for this was even better!! Good times!

Lip Sync

Remember The Simpsons movie??

well, there were a lot of classic lines from that movie and thats what first hit me when the lip sync assignment was set for us. Out of all the lines in the movie, the dialogue dealing with spider pig was the most amazing according to me! Oh Homer, u make me cry sometimes!

Anyways, heres the MooM in a short Lip Sync Clip (Maya)…

Head rig!!!

Hey…

Its been seriously long since i updated this site!

Was busy with my Concept reel…. Never had the time to come back here…. VFS is the place if u really wanna stare at the computer for eternity!!!

anyways… back to the point. Here’s my stuff i did like 2 months ago, Its a head rig of myself that i worked on as a part of the zombie assignment i mentioned a while ago. i put some canine teeth in it to depart it a bit from my true self. It was a fun project though! Here’s me roaring away!

It has some wierd blend shapes… but i was just testing it out. It was all done in XSI.

Peace!
