Jazz and the strings..

Couple of posters that i had done for a jazz concert held at The Basement, Kolkata. Although only the first one got approved, I somehow like the latter one better. Drew inspiration from the music and the old posters of the 40s and 50s. Do leave your feedback if you happen to like them!

Final Film

"The Secret Life of Bhotbhoti Maiti" , is the final animation film of my Diploma. It was an episodic animation pilot hence this video is an introductory pilot to the series of misadventures of our quirky autodriver Bhotbhoti Maiti . It took me about 8 months from conception to the final product. There are probably some changes that could be done with the film but currently this is it; do check it out and leave your valuable feedback.

Classroom Project

This is a copy of the classroom project that i had worked on during my 4th year of Animation. It is based in my hometown and it is the story of Bidrohi Sen, one of the quintessential Bengali have-beens, and his relationship with his favourite coffee shop wherein he finds his own. The film captures nostalgia and the city's perpetual conflict with its past. And Bidrohi Sen forms a pivot between the days gone by and the days of change that prevail.

Bhola Da ar Brishti!!

The opening sequence

 rain drenched ghats

The lonely nights and the lack of research!!

These are a beginning to the set of scribbles and storyboards that i am doing for  a graphic novel that i intend to embark on. But currently there is very less research from my end and the story in itself needs a certain bit of fleshing out , but the character and the references are from a series of incidents that happened and the multitude of stories that i heard while preparing for my final film.Do look out for this space as more sketches are on the offer.

Film posters

The poster for my first animation project - 'The Last Rebel'. Some shots of the film are  there in the showreel which also find it's place in this blog...

Another poster that i had initially made just to fiddle around with the image..basically an output of an empty space of mind.

This one is for a dear friend who was one of the very few to dabble with horror in a student project.Wanted to give an hand-drawn feel and photoshop effects a try.

A poster that i made for a friend's short film. It's about a conversation between an estranged couple and how a cigarette lighter seems to come into a strange predominance.

Pudducherry!!

A solitary one from a series of sketches done during my trip to Pondicherry..shall upload a few more pretty soon.
