Prithvi (Earth)

This is an old animation that I along with a team of my friends worked on in year 2008. We were still studying at NID (National Institute of Design) at that time. This was not supposed to be a standalone animation video earlier but an interactive flash animation as a part of an installation. As a custom in NID we were to make an installation for display during the convocation ceremony of our super-seniors. After thinking over many different ideas we zeroed in on to this one idea of showing evolution of human society with the passage of time and its effect on earth. The reason for having the animation interactive was to make the whole user experience more engaging. We also took up a challenge of incorporating interactivity without having the user to be acquainted with computers. It took us a week's time to finish this and put up for display. More details about this project is available here.

Back again

It's been almost 2 years since I have posted anything on this blog. For those who have just read my previous post, I would wait for the laughter to subside. I keep on making a mockery of myself :P. I am glad that at least I am still sticking to my decision to blog. I find it a little tough to write and to write something that looks like a nice read to me takes quite long. Another thing that dissuades me from writing, is the question that comes to my mind every time I decide to write, "what am I going to write about and is it worth writing?" One fine day I came across a blog by Mark Kennedy. Mark Kennedy is a story artist at Walt Disney Studios and has worked as head of story in Disney's film Tangled (2010). In his blog he writes about animation, storyboarding, visual design and everything that he is passionate about and that is worth writing about. I think I should do the same too. So to begin with I spent a day on cosmetic makeover of this blog. I hope I'll continue blogging this time at least more frequently than one post in a year or two.
