Shot 5_3

26th September 2012


I have shifted to the comp lab thanks to the departure from Pune of my close friend and bench-mate Vicky Punjabi. Things are better here than there in the noisy stinky class. I did a whole lipsynch shot today and I'm SO happy with how it turned out. I learned more than I did with the stupid lipsynch assignment we had done back in Sem 5. Such a waste. This is how you learn!

Also my friends said the sound is unclear, so I'm gonna have to re-record Ishan's voice. I hope that can be synched to this animation or I'll have to re-animate also! :(

Enjoy!

One of my shortest, but favorite shot of 'The Mailbox' - finally got a preview of how things look fully colored! Hope the whole film turns out this way!

Background parade!

18th September 2012

I got over ambitious and told Vix I'd finish 8 bgs anyhow. I finished 4. Here goes the BG parade! Vix now calls me 'BG Queen'. :| And so does Gayatri ma'am.

I used the colors of an old bg here, so I thought - this won't take time? It's just like the other one. but no, it took really long for some reason. There was distortion in this. 

 This one took the least time and it's one of the smallest but one of my most favourite shots in the film! I love the lighting. I'mma hold it for a while on this frame. :P!!

This one was a pain in the ass, but I kind of learned how to paint foliage. Also I download Goro Fujita's brushes and I've been using them in a lot of my bgs. Just wish I'd figured these things out earlier! Anywho, better late than never! You can download them HERE.

 This one took particularly forever. I had a shot like this planned earlier, but I mainly stole it from a movie I was luckily watching at the same time!! Harry Potter and the half blood prince! Here's the shot I took from the film:

Finally I decided today morning that I will try to do more than I can. That's 5 backgrounds, 1 cleanup shot and 1 colored shot. I hope I can live up to my own expectations! Here are today's bgs.

Apparently our jury is in 2 days. So I've been working exceptionally hard on 'the Mailbox. I'm glad I got very tense about it coz I'd been fooling around for a long time and avoiding work coz of lack of motivation. Finally I decided today morning that I will try to do more than I can. That's 5 backgrounds, 1 cleanup shot and 1 colored shot. I hope I can live up to my own expectations! Here are today's bgs.
