News from the future - 1 January 2013

Mentally unhinged supreme ruler of the world Anamika Baruah inaugurates New Year's Celebrations with an intergalaxy twist dancing contest and a really long evil laugh that echoed a bit.

Highlights included the new world anthem sung by the dictator's goat army, a 100 m baby crawling dash and guests being served drinks by the planet's penguins who finally revealed this year that they are actually people in costumes.

In accordance with new laws everyone greeted the new year with furious synchronised head banging and the great leader had tears of pride and joy in her eyes as she said, " Snowflakes, dandruff, what's the difference?

When I went back home few weeks back,I found my old Assamese fairy tales book and here's one particularly gruesome one called "Tejimola". Here, the step mother kills the girl Tejimola by smashing her head with the rice grinding teeter-totter thingy. Nice bed time story. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Hi, everyone(which is probably just two or three of you). I haven't posted for a long long long time now and here's the reason why. This is a short intro to the Florence Indian Film Festival "River to River" currently going on. We worked really hard on this and hope that you enjoy it.
Here's a screen grab

A baby model!!!

2009-12-09T22:51:00.001-08:00

This is from November. All my drawings were super loose and cartoony as the model never stood still for more than a couple of seconds. So much fun!

Originally he was serving a dead bunny with a fork sticking out of his back, but somehow couldn't bring myself to do it and I wimped out. Maybe I'll bring back the bunny and the vomiting guests another day.

Anyway, learnt a lot while doing this, still so much more to learn though about composition, lighting, details, color, drawing... it's fun!

Proof that I'm retarded, the drawing above has two left feet, ironical since the person in the drawing is actually a very good dancer... Sorry Sasi, your friend is one absent minded doodler.

Hello,
I found this awesome blog http://www.lindseyolivares.blogspot.com/
I really really love this person's drawings. The dream to be awesome is always there but until it takes a more concrete form, let's celebrate other people's awesomeness!

PS: For some reason I sound retarded in this post.

Hidden Umbrellas

2009-06-01T03:09:00.000-07:00

As a kid I hated it when it was time for friends and relatives to leave. I hid their umbrellas in the hope that they couldn't go out in the rain without them(rains a LOT in my state) and they'd stay on, for just one more day.

Goodbyes are flying around a lot lately and this doodle popped up in my head. So here is the land of hidden umbrellas for all the goodbyes I wished could be postponed, even if for just a day.

More Doodles

2009-05-15T16:29:00.000-07:00

Here are some doodles after a long time.
This one is a modified drawing of a librarian I used as a recurring character in a comic strip I did for a while for my campus tabloid in university.

I have no clue from which deep dark twisted corner of my mind I pulled this one.
Er...

Flash Film Ideas

2009-03-22T22:56:00.001-07:00

Here's an idea in the form of a rough character sketch for my film in Flash... I like the little girl, the guy, not so much...both are kinda off-balance though.

2009-03-22T19:30:00.001-07:00

I just realised that while I have something from my student film up on my class blog, there's nothing here. So here it is, one frame from the first scene. I get butterflies in my tummy everytime I think of the screening... arrrrgh

Long Movies Need Pee Breaks

2009-03-15T19:13:00.001-07:00

Recently when the network in DIP lab decided to have a sulk fest, some of us decided it was time for a movie break. Seriously, if you make movies that are three hours long please put in a ten minute intermission . Learn from Indian movies...

Blah

2009-03-15T04:50:00.001-07:00

Since I am scrambling to finish my film I haven't been able to post here as often as I'd like. CA 70 has a class blog now www.ca70.blogspot.com.

And I just realised I am late even in posting this. Oh well, as long as it is there. Ok, it is 4:54 am, I am in DIP lab and have absolutely no idea what I am typing. So sorry.

First Term Assignment

2009-01-14T00:19:00.001-08:00

Meet Tobias and James a.k.a The Gemini Brothers. They are the Australian siamese twin koalas of Zodiac Zoo. This was for an assignment way back in first term. Two complimentary and contrasting characters belonging to the same show.

Just another post

2009-01-12T22:44:00.001-08:00

Since Final Film is taking up all my time , I could scan just these two. From Life drawing classes at VFS. Hopefully I'll put up more stuff here soon

Old Stuff 2 - My first and only billboard

2009-01-03T00:53:00.001-08:00

Yes, I continue putting up old stuff instead of new drawings in this new year, dunno why.(May be I am rebelling ... hee...hee). This is from 2006, I think. Alas my memory fails me in this advanced age. Cough, cough!

old stuff

2009-01-03T00:35:00.001-08:00

This is some old stuff I found in one of my memory sticks. This is from before VFS time. Drawn in flash with a mouse... ugh those excruciating hours... Hmm... can really see my mistakes now though, like the highlights are in no logical place and there is no feeling of weight ... still makes me happy...

As for the subject itself, I think that was the time when I used to watch Xena and Beast Master regularly. Aww.. brings back memories of a nerdier me.

New Year's Eve

The Patagonian Cavy (Mara) bids farewell to the old year. If something that looks like the unfortunate offspring of a donkey and a rabbit can look back on the past year with a smile, I'm sure we all can!

Animator's Talk

2008-12-28T22:48:00.001-08:00

Here are some animators' pick up lines/perv talk/pillow talk/ innuendo that we(my classmates and I) wasted precious time on... So we slacked for a few minutes, sue me. Had loads of fun thinking these up.

1) Favour me, baby!
2) Keep it rough...
3) Ease in, ease out , ease in, ease out, ease in... ok, now on ones.
4) You squash, I stretch?
5) I am the perfect peg for your hole, honey.
6) Turn off the light and flip.

Alas, the complete list is in school and I have no access to it until January, so I'll add the rest later... hmm... might make this a continous work in progress, anybody got anymore ideas?

2008-12-28T22:29:00.001-08:00

Kick starting this blog with a rough drawing from my student film... hopefully will post stuff here regularly.
