CARDS

 

For Dad's 50th Birthday

 

My Sister's Birthday

 

 

Mum's Birthday

I love making them for close friends and family, in whatever form. I recently shifted to making digital ones as compared to cards on paper. Both have their own charm. :)

Internship at FHOA : ICICI

This was a project for ICICI bank. They wanted to make a video which targeted their NRI audience. Eventually, a combination of the third and fourth board was selected. There is a look and feel frame for a different project(with ICICI) also attached.

Internship at FHOA : DDB

These were a few options for the storyboard of a logo animation for DDB.

The final output is almost ready. Will post a link when it is!

The ERA of paper-less animation is here!!

And why do I believe in the title?

Well... I touched a cintiq!

God bless its inventor! One of the first things on my "buy when rich" list! :p

Internship at FHOA : Benadryl Cough Syrup

A project for Benadryl cough syrup. We had to design Characters of monsters, which is, cough. These are the many options we put forward to the client. Eventually, number 4 and 5 were taken forward, to develop the final character.

Internship at FHOA : Ajmal Perfumes

Ajmal is a big name in the Emirates. This was some work done for a commercial of their newly launched Aurum fragrance.

The director had decided to have a photo shoot for the pack shot. However, being a shiny bottle, the reflections went haywire. The dry petals inside were also decaying.

 Here is the final output :

I was required to simply clean up the pack. Well it was not that simple after all, as I had to make it look hyper-realistic. Here is the before-after image for the pack.

 

The main parts are the big black patch and the petals area.

Internship at FHOA : Apollo tyres

 

A quickie storyboard for Apollo tyres. These were made for a pitch, hence the quick visualisation. However, once we bagged the project, people went deep into details. The company actually sent tyres to the studio for the 3D modelling team to refer to!

Here is another option : 

Internship at FHOA : Amul India

By now most of you would have seen the Amul ad on Indian television or online. This ad was entirely done at FHOA (where I interned this summer). Amul is considering to make another ad on the same lines. I had to make some concept art for the clients.

 

These are very basic and I have simply posed the girl's rig, taken a render and treated it on photoshop thereafter. However, in the ad world, deadlines are in-your-face, and I had to almost present these within a span of just about an hour or two!

In another Amul project, I had to make a background for the pack shot. Hence, what you see here is digitally painted, alongwith the product.

I then gave it to the compositing team, who animated the smoke and made the paneer gently float on water. 

Here is the image : 

 

Internship at FHOA : Disney roleplay commercial

I have been silent for the past two months as I interned at the Famous House of Animation, Mumbai.

I was a junior visualizer at the Mahalaxmi studio. My department primarily consisted of my friend from NID, Abhimanyu and Aditya, both of whom who are currently working there. studio works mainly on commercials and VFX, and my job was mainly pre-production and a bit of production. It has been and enriching experience and I can finally share the work I did there.

To start with, this is a project we worked on for Disney.It's a commercial for their product line under the name of "Disney Princess".

This is the final output of the project : 

 

 This is the main background that I worked on.

This is one of my first encounters with Matte painting, and boy did I fall in love with this! This is a final output after lots of back and forth, and feedback from the compositing team as well as the client. The following are the rough sketches I made. This is from where we started!

 

It was a memorable experience, and I learnt alot as to how to prepare a file for compositing as well!
