Hey ya folks! Apologies for the delayed post. But our workload
has
kept us away from the blog. Believe me, FILM MAKING IS NOT EASY!
We are not posting any artwork or the usual stuff today. Let’s just get a bit diverted from the regular gist. Today we present our STUDIO.
Shade is a project executed in our Studio School. We have a nice little corner besides the book cupboard where we breed it with all the necessary stuff needed. You can see a PC where all the referencing and digital process is done, A Light box where ANIMATION will be done (currently used for rotoscoping and rough animation), A line tester which is built by our own hands by using a broom dowel, some sticky tape, a tin paint box, some sand, wires and of course a Web cam. Why I am telling you this? Well…..We are Proud of that little creation. (Which saved us a big deal of money incidentally J). That’s the major stuff covered not to mention a video camera, a whole bunch of papers, some books, Pencils, a Mannequin, some clay models for understanding the object in 3d space, Guitars for music jamming, a Congo bongo for some beats (which ratatouille had taken care of now, I MEAN THE DAMM RATS ATE UP THE DRUM LEATHER) and a nice set of speakers for some good music. Well you don’t necessarily need the last three honestly.
It is very important to build a workplace which LOOKS like a workplace entirely dedicated to what you are doing. The environment is lively when there are sketches and notes dangling on the walls, pencils are lying here and there, and the town is covered with all the creative clutter. (Of course it is nice to keep everything in place and properly managed) but you know that a kid needs a good and healthy environment to grow, we are no different.
When we get into this space, we kind of go into a work zone, of limits to every other thought. All the drawing, design & ideation is for what we are doing. It is an important part of a creative set up, where personalization of the work space with drawings, stuffed toy, rigs, clay models & clay, armature, rough sketches ,pencils, reference models or sheets along with a bottle of water, maybe a pack of biscuits all take up this creative space.
