A pitch for an album cover. It eventually didn't work out, but I had fun making it!

Drawn on paper and coloured on Photoshop.

3D? nope, Cinema 4D!

Recently tried out Cinema 4D, a 3D software, used for doing very cool things - I hope to pick this up sometime, when I get some time. I did a quick something following a tutorial - blending 3D typography and a 2D image. This is 1% of the software's total potential though...

Internship at FHOA : Theme Park project

A fun project, which to date is still in consideration, this was for the Famous studio concept pitch, for a ride, at an upcoming theme park at Mumbai. It's an archaeological based ride, and this is basically for the branding of the ride - character design, animation, etc

These are explorations for Dr. Roy, the protagonist who takes the audience through the ride.

The above sheet has explorations from my friends and colleagues - Abhimanyu and Aditya, apart from my drawings.

This is an exploration for the style used in the safety videos of the theme park

Internship at FHOA : Listerine Mouthwash

Listerine is coming up with a new TVC. In order to pitch for the project, we had to prepare a story board and some character explorations  according to the brief provided.

The following is the storyboard,which I made in about 3 hours, for the pitch :

Internship at FHOA : Pepsodent

This are some storyboards and look and feel concepts for pepsodent TVC's during my internship.

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!
