Projects

Man’s Dependency on Nature

This project deals with two parts. The first is to understand man’s dependency on nature. How is man always trying to break the cycle and create an imbalance in nature in various conscious and indirect ways? Pollution, population, deforestation, and poaching of animals are few among them. Hunting animals for various purposes has created a state of near-extinction for various species, including tigers. Our focus is to try to represent this thought of man’s dependency on nature through a scenario of a tiger being hunted down. For this, we are using various mediums to present the idea in its most effective manner. The second part of this project is to understand how multiple ideas can be generated from the same content by shuffling the parts of the story.


HUNGER: The story of a prisoner

The inspiration of this project was from a story of drought struck village in Rajasthan and how in a family, the mother is forced to eat her own child and from other book of Jewish holocaust and Viktor Frankl’s book ‘man’s’ search for meaning. Hunger is vast topic and to touch into any area is a swim in deep waters. Researched on the biological reasons for hunger and what happens to a person in case of extreme starvation. The plot of the story was hunger hallucinations of a prisoner and how his hunger for food becomes his hunger for freedom. And the journey of a man through the various psychological phases when he is put through the worst living conditions in a prison.


THE ONLY ONE

The project deals with the 2012 myth, where the world comes to an end, due to climatic changes. We are aware of various climatic changes happening around us which will lead to the end .but as predicted by Mayan civilization; Dec 21, 2012 is the doomsday. So my idea behind making this film was to explore ones struggle with inner self ,what would a person do if he comes to know about this situation. The story revolves around a character that comes to know about this situation and chooses his own way to save his life. He finds the solution in god. He goes spiritual and finally he is the only one to survive, but is he the only one? The objective of the film was to explore situational humor and explore on good character animation. In this film we experience the state of mind of the person and his choice of path to save his life and whether He makes the right choice or not.
