Animated Short Film

Mixed Media Short Film

 

The Student me thought this :
It is great to Dream but do you really want that dream to come true? Dream a lil deeper my friend

Being in the spotlight isn’t always easy. The judgements, the control the layers that lead to stardom has unknown levels of pressure. Beyond that if you emerge from from this ‘dream’ you’d probably not even recognise yourself anymore.

This is my First Mixed Media Digital Short Film made way back in 2001.

Our lovely actor was shot painfully frame by frame and then cleaned up painfully frame by frame. Her eyes, mouth clothes and actions were altered.

And all this was done on an incredibly fast 256 MB RAM rented PC which was balanced precariously on a metal truck while i sat on the floor. Fun times !!!!
