Ok Hriday, there you go. A pun.

Flew with friends and then woke up. :)

Manish, one of my really close friend at NID, approached me long back when we were room-mates in third year to make a short animated dream sequence for his Diploma film. Two years later I tried keeping the promise. It is a 65 seconds short, drawn in Flash and Photoshop and animated in After Effects. It took me around 3 weeks with all the other work I was multitasking on. Here are stills from the animation and a few character explorations we did before the film. Ill post the animation once Manish releases the film.

Still from the film: featuring Bhutaram and one of his mirage.

Images from the preproduction stage of Mirages. Most of these are from the storyboard stage while the character design was running parallelly.
