Ekolyo – An animated short
The animation is based on a short story by a Goan writer, Vasant Bhagwant Sawant. The story was adapted and modified to suit the medium of animation. The narrative is dialogue led and local nuances have been built in to flavor the language. Character & background designs were a result of re-search & drawn and photographed references collected and shot in Goa during the pre-production.
The film is of a duration of 5 min. Backgrounds have been hand drawn and painted on Photoshop. The final animation will be done on Animo.

Blue Due SFX Studio
Managed and run by special effects wizard Biju D, working with Blue Dew was a learning experience. From storyboarding complex special effects sequences to supervising shoot schedules – it was fantastic and eye-opening experience for someone ignorant about the film making process and the amount of time spent on planning and executing a single effect shot. Primarily working on the effects of an upcoming Bollywood SFX film, my training included conceptualizing, storyboarding, 3D scene planning and on location supervision. |
