Internship at FHOA : Benadryl Cough Syrup
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 : 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!

Promotional Animation
An animation to promote an application launched by a startup company. The Project was completed in 3 weeks, including sound design. The narratior is my good friend Sandhya Ramachandran from NID itself. It was one of my first live projects, and had to (and wwanted to) meet the deadline - so the animation is simple digital stuff.
Hopefully, its also simple enough to communicate the point! Do have a look and comment.
Some Hand-made Illustrations
Here is a sneak peek into what's to come in the next few days. I have been attempting to document some of my favourite stuff, and due to the size of the scanner, have resorted to photography. But here are some things which I managed to scan.
This was made using color pencils on paper. I generally avoid vehicles, but wanted to add somre variety, so gave it a shot. This was done before coming to NID, while preparing my portfolio.
This is a Painting by William Turner, being illustrated in Seurat's Pointilism Style. Basically, application of paint in the form of 'dots' (yep! patience...) - and the principles of colour interaction give the final look of the painting. This was done as a part of our illustration course taken by Priyankar Gupta, an alumnus of NID, visiting faculty and a professional freelancer in Mumbai. You can check out his work here : http://priyankargupta.blogspot.in/
Well, not much to say - I was awestruck the first time I saw this painting, and tried a study out myself!
