Diwali is here, and so are the spirits.

Of course the little one tries her best, and they all flock to protect the lights... 

Every year at Diwali in Moti soap sales:

This is what I think happens...

Eating maggi the right way.

So I had a miserable day because I had to have maggi for lunch. But what's wrong in sharing something that we all do and never accept?
Me Gusta!

Something that I might work on.

Here is something that I might work on, animate this girl on a hautingly beautiful song, that is, if I get some time out of animating, completing my remaining shots, working for the studio, taking out time for relationships and sleeping. All the best to me. 

In pursuit of happiness

                                                        

  Sometimes I sit and wonder about things, about many things big and small, about minds and no minds... and today I think about happiness. Everyone wants to be happy, what is happiness exactly? Is it a quality? some possession  getting what you want? or just a perspective? is it the ability to feel happiness?

                                                           Sometimes I wonder if a person who has a lot of excuses for sadness like poverty, a bad marriage, a bad career is more satisfied than the people that have everything perfect given to them because then they can justify just why they are unhappy. The people who have everything perfect in life, are just as amazed once they are rich, famous, talented or with the ones they really loved to find that they are as sad as they were before, now it's more complicated because they don't know why! Suddenly they don't have anything to point fingers at or blame! 

                                          The only way out seems to be creating some problems to justify the inability to feel happiness, and this goes on and on.. You can create all kinds of problems like someone else's behavior or the way someone treated you, you can even blame it on your partner for they way they smell or laugh, blame it on for making you sad. Blame it on your kids for being the ungrateful bunch of demons they are. You would go round and round in circles before ever realising that maybe it is you that is blind, who is numb and have lost the ability to feel happiness anymore, remember when you were a kid, before you became numb? a soap bubble was happiness, a story was happiness, getting under the blanket and imagining a whole new world was happiness. Then they told you you have to "find" happiness somewhere out of you, you thought you would fall in love and find happiness, then you thought you getting married, getting rich, having kids would get you happy, nothing worked. Resentment grows and you start blaming all the people in your life, even worse if everything in your life is perfect, then you don't have anything to blame too! And nobody is perfect, your wife or husband may be almost perfect but they are bound to make a mistake sometime or the other...they are just human, that might give a reason for you justify your sadness, but deep inside everyone knows that's not it. Claim your ability to feel, feel deeply, intensly, passionately, feel happiness! 

The Butterfly Drug.

Nothing about this one, just something random, it's been many days since I did this, but I dunno why I didn't color it.

The making of the Bee Poster.

Hello there lovelies!
We've had our hands full with many posters this month! Three of them.
Pretty much exciting time. We have been searching, perfecting and evolving our pipeline, many of us had to learn and re learn many unknown and unsearched territories to complete our pipeline.

As an animator, rigging and rendering and everything that came after animating looked nothing but just a bunch of math and calculations, much looked like boring technical stuff. (Sorry for the rigging and rendering guys, apology and a bow to your awesomeness coming right up)

To complete our pipeline we had to find these technicians, after several failed attempts at working long distance or working with amateur technicians,or simple working with those people who didn't care enough to complete the projects.
Well, there was only one way, to make the best swimmer walk the plank, and in this case, I did know a little bit of knick knacks about rigging, but that was just fun! Well, so thus my journey started into the unknown mysterious territory of technical dark side of animation (I say dark like really cool dark side). I eventually started getting amazed at the results that we could achieve and I exactly knew as an animator what I and my animator friends wanted in the rig.

Rigging is cool man, I enjoyed it while it lasted. I can walk the plank if needed again because I just learnt to dodge the sharks.The blendshapes, expressions and weight paints get tedious sometimes but animators can get a little bit of an ego here and there sometimes thinking of themselves as a God and having the perfect freedom but he just flies within the hundreds and thousands of possibilities that a rigger gives him. So rigger please be kind to the animator, he needs you, however pompous we may be.
I really liked the way it turned it out, it's not the best thing out there but we have learnt a lot and will be back with more better stuff again and again!

I'll just Buzz off now.
(You have no idea of how many bad honey jokes our team has been coming up with)
