Final Film

Finally I have decided to upload my final film. Sorry friends for uploading this so late though i finished it on June 2011. Really got busy with other stuff. Now I can say happily that this film got selected for Hamburg film festival and got shortlisted for top ten short films. But could not made it till final. No worries at least I got shortlisted and I am happy for that.
I hope you enjoy it.

Working these day from reference and I found its helpful and it save a lot time as when you see the video referance you get the idea that what next you are going to do. Here adding few differences Live vs Animation.

Final Project with National Gallery.

Here is my first attempt in After Effects, quite happy with the result could be much better but again time is killing not much time for trying new effects. So have to very tight on this and not look back for any correction or changes.

Few more experiment with light and rendering. Never realised playing with filters like blur and channels can be so much fun.




Trying to working with light and shadow , quite happy with the result now as dont have much time to do the experiment . More likely keeping somewhere a limit that I should not spent much time in lighting while I put much effort on animation.

The Final image of the hall. Tried working with light but no joy yet. Hope I'll find a better way to put light and shadow in a good way later.

Character Development :
For my final project I've designed a character who is Indian. His name is Mr. Rakesh and we meet him in India during the 1980's. It took a long time to develop and bring the character out. Here are some images that I worked on before I came to the final character.

Few images of the bedroom with progress for the project.

Based on the feedback I've received the story has changed slightly. The final scene is now with the main character ( Mr. Rakesh ) reflecting on his own mortality as he looks in the mirror. My original concept was to end with his grandson to show the circle of life. However I think as the title is ''moh-maya'' a reminder of death it seems more appropriate for him to be thinking of his own death.

Please feel free to leave the comments.

Here again the same concept after little bit more tweaking. Please feel free to leave your valuable comments so that I can make it easy for audience to understand.

Trying to work on concept of Vanitas ( moh_maya ). Still developing the idea and here it's the first pass. Will update more soon.

The painting which I'm working with for my final project. Its called '' An Allegory of Vanities of Human Life '' by Harmen Steenwyck.
