The Gift - Animated Short
7th May 2015
That's two films in a week I've seen which are AMAZING and with the same name!
This film is SO touching. I couldn't relate to it more. It's beautiful how they've shown true love in such a pure form. I guess it teaches us on how we should treat others and be treated ourselves. Absolutely beautifully directed and animated. :)
Enjoy!
Gift - Adopt Wisely
7th May 2015
I had to share this.
It's been a long time since I saw some genuinely moving and effective film. This one's close to me because it's got to do with animal welfare.
For the past few months I have been considering doing social work fulltime when there are no animation projects going on. I'm still in the process of figuring out how to contribute. Hopefully Ill be making films like these.
In creative fields we never know whether our work affects people or changes the way we look at things. I hope someday I can do that through my work, even if it's over the course of a year or a lifetime.
Please watch and share to spread the message.

Back to basics
30th Mar 2015
It's been forever since an update. Every now and then we need to do speedpaintings to keep the ragas of art going. But that's when we're not too far behind. When we're too far behind, we need to go back to basics. i.e: Gestures. After what felt like years, me, Saatchi and Arvind sat down and sketched gestures together. My lines dont have the same flow or speed, but after the first page I definitely started getting the rhythm back. Atleast that's what I think. Here're those 3 pages.

SP#02 - Storm
15th Jan 2012
It was SO SO hard to get the form and the colours of the clouds right. Daym, I don't know how those Vis Dev artists do it. After a bit of basic round brush strokes I had to use a textured brush to give it a bit of clarity. It looked a bit too incomplete and too abstract. 37 minutes just flew doing this one.
Was hoping to keep it under 30 minutes tho!

Happy New Year 2015!
11th Jan 2015
And a very happy new year to all!! I've been having the best of everything. Work is balanced with play so far - been travelling so much whenever a project ends! There's been a huge mixed variety of work we've been doing so far. Hopefully this year we'll kickstart with some great animation projects!
I finished my Professional Storyboarding Course with CGMA Academy and working on some commercial as well as personal work! Unfortunately everything we've got is still confidential until release, so will only be able to share that later. I only hope I manange to squeeze in time for personal work and fitness now! And then I'd have nothing to complain about. ;)
Happy New Year 2015 everyone! Hope to share something concrete soon! Until next update, enjoy this quick storytelling panel I did for fun.

Mikki Ekko Study
20th Nov 2014
Haven't done a speedpainting in really long! Felt totally out of touch. :( Anywho, this is Mikki Ekko from the 'Stay' music video by Rihanna ft Mikki Ekko. I loved this frame, the balance, cam movt, lighting was just gorgeous. Crossed the clock by 30 minutes. :(!
Critiques greatly appreciated!!

Total time taken: 1 hour 30 mins
