Animating Potatiger - Part 3 : Breakdowns
updated
A tiny animation I made during the wonderful animation fundamentals course at Nid Madhya Pradesh .
It's a teaser for the characters of 'The King's Dance', a completely hand-animated music video we ( nallorustudio x quill media) have been making for the past several months based on Rhythom music.
The actual project has a completely different look with acrylic paintings and stopmotion. Hope to reveal that soon. Be on the lookout!
Been driving around Kozhikode, with giant raindrops smashing into your face.
This went through several changes of plans. I tried to use reflective paper to shine bike-light and street-light. Some experiments are not fully successful. That's why they're called experiments.
Color combos using 2 highlighters.
Measured and cut halfway, till I realized I was cutting the exact opposite angle of rain :| . Had to go sleep off my disappointment.

Animated during an 'Animation Appreciation' course at Avantika Ujjain.
I appreciate animation.
Used very custom pegbar, paper size and spiral punch!
Sounds from Freesound and Pixabay.
In 2016, we got a very nice planner from NID. It was very useful. When 2017 was approaching, I couldn't find something similar. Since then, I make one every year. Carry around with me everywhere, and gets heavily used. Became a tradition before I realized.

How the titular character was made. Compiling together all these steps itself was a task! This was a long process.
A tiny peek into how we worked together to make the animated music video. I chose to explain the bunny, because the other things were intimidating to recall 😅.

Cheeti Chits is a very short story-based puzzle game where you have to use ants and bugs to deliver your secret chits to your friend. Make sure to avoid pen-fights and falls! And surely, the teacher must not find out what you're doing.
Made using Godot, Krita and Beepbox.
For the 48hour BYOG23 gamejam, organized by IGDC.
Here's a showreel of some of my works.

An animated sci-fi film set in my fictional Kerala hometown. Made over the course of 5 years, using only several Free/Open-Source softwares.
It's been a real journey making this film, and several things happened after it was made too. It was utter joy watching people react live to the film during the Ghost 'First Flight' screenings. All the film festival responses were also pretty cool. I'm also almost accepted as a member of my family now. I could've released the film online any of the previous months, but something or the other delayed. Not to mention working on my new game 'I Can Human' takes up thinking space. Super thanks to Kushagrah Kalia for making this trailer as a final push to get the film out! And because of that, I get to have an auspicious day of my own to release : 22-2-22 2:22pm ! So maybe it was meant to be. Everything takes it's own time.
A failed marriage. A watchmaker. Meteorites. Time is uncomfortably relative in this Kerala town, and our hero struggles to make the perfect watch to keep up with the times.
Made over the course of 5 years, this movie is a mix of several things that I personally wanted to see on screen - an animated science fiction set in my hometown in Kerala, pulling together very regional elements to showcase a human story.
This is also an attempt to make a short 2D animation using only free open-source softwares (for all aspects from preproduction, animation, compositing, sound, etc.), and trying to showcase the advantages they provide, so that more people may try them out and benefit from them. I'd tried to develop different workflows throughout production to come up with a technique to get 2d and 3d working together to get a unique look that serves the purpose of the story. You'll be able to see the style shifting throughout the film as new techniques are incorporated. This movie served as a testing ground to try the latest features on a strong foundation of a fixed story and animatic.
Hope you enjoy the film!
Softwares used: Blender, Krita, Gimp, G'mic, Ardour, Pureref, Natron, OcenAudio, Imagemagick

I then actually ended up liking how it looked 😅

More paper experiments!
This was such a mindbend to figure. It might not look too complicated, but I was just going 'huh?', 'wut?', 'eh?' till somehow it got done 😅.

Did user testing on my new lightbox by animating a light box! :D

Ever since I heard Bo Burnham's 'How the world works', I had been wanting to draw a lipsync animation, since the voice was too good! But then Onam was coming, and ideas changed. And now it's everything except drawing and lipsync heheh.
Everything (except rocket of course) shot at my house, and animated using blender and krita. I was just constantly amazed at how fast this process was. Even the fire is video of a lighter.
A very messy 5 hours of figuring how to use the godot graph editor. These are the disgusting noodles. In the coming hours, it became more polite ... but I didn't record. You'll just have to trust me :neutral_face:

I was super glad to be a tiny part of it.
It was an efficient process, with Samadrita Ghosh (@tikklil) making several backgrounds, then me posing some basic building placements based on those, which she'd paint over to give the proper feel and details.
Gaurav Wakankar & Shashank Mani (@all_dat_mani) would animate over it, and composited by Kushagrah Kalia (@kush.kalia) & Gaurav .
Then finally it's out to watch on the Gully Gang YouTube channel:
