Monster Trucks (2016)

Monster Trucks, directed by Chris Wedge, was the first project I worked on in MPC, Bangalore.  It was challenging with regards to workflow, pipeline and technical complexities.  I managed to find a couple of close-up shots to add to my shot list.  I learnt a lot more than just animation on this show.

VES Nomination for The Lost Temple!

Walt sent us an email that our first project at Tau Films,  The Lost Temple - theme park ride film has been nominated for the 13th Annual Visual Effects Society Award, for the category, "Outstanding Visual Effects in a Special Venue Project".  I am so happy that we made it this far.  Keeping in mind the odds we worked against, this is a tremendous achievement.  I wish the best for Tau Films' future.

The triceratops duel is to the right side of the ride after entering the temple (which I worked on, collaborating with one more animator), and a couple of pteranodons that peck and screech at the screen.

The Lost Temple*

After about a month and a half post Rhythm and Hues, I had an opportunity to work on my first freelance project.  It was a theme park ride film.  It involved realistic animation with dinosaurs.  I got to animate a triceratops and some pteranodons.  It was a very challenging and exciting project.  The theme park is yet to start functioning.  Here is a glimpse of the park.*

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013)

This was my first Hollywood project as an Animator.  I got to animate a few simple shots and it was fun.  Looking forward for the release, here in Hyderabad.




One of the shots I enjoyed working on the most was the one in which the Manticore is in deep slumber and the kids are escaping from the boat.  Here is the link:
