When I was a little kid, I used to pretend to play a lot. I used to be a hero who saved the world or a kid who went to school who was chased by a Tyrannosaurus rex. Dinosaurs existed like cows for me; around every corner, there was one waiting to devour me. I used to imagine all kinds of things too, like spiders being monsters and pickles being the intestines of beings once alive bottled and sold to unsuspecting humans. Such was the life. Colourful and exciting. Now I have the chance to play the game again. But now I'm in the driving seat and taking others for a ride to experience the chaos. This document records my humble journey into finding a story and going through the development process to realise the dream of creating a film.

There was a time when there was no sound in films. Moving ahead with time, after several inventions, their failures, and their iterations, sound was successfully introduced to films. Today, it has reached a stage where a visual without sound will itch one's ears and the film will'sound' incomplete. Rather, today, sound has become so crucial in today's films that it has overcome visuals. Earlier, sound was added to visuals in a film, but today, visuals add to a film. The research I did was on how important the sound is in a film and how the sound is used by film makers to get the most out of a scene.

Paperboat Animation Studio is based in Mumbai. It is not only into animation but equally into live action, print, etc. too. Saumitra Ranade, Mayank Patel, and Aashish Mall are the three heads of the studio. The major works done by the studio include the live-action film Jajantaram Mamantaram, the animation film Gopi gawaiya, Bagha Bajaiya, the animated series Karadi Tales, Lal buzakkad, and a number of children’s books.

The task was to create a new story and illustrate it to make a book out of it. As I had already illustrated two books, I challenged myself by putting a few restrictions on myself and developing something I had never done before. I restricted myself to children’s books, as I have never done that before and was afraid of doing that, as I never thought that way. My earlier books were made for adults.

The moment a human is born, he or she is enrolled in the religion their parents are following. This thing continues forever without knowing the reason behind it.

All this is fine, but as soon as things start getting violent, people from one group get offended by another group, and as a result, riots happen. Another thing is that people follow religion so blindly that they are fooled by religious leaders and are used as a vote bank. In short, it is a very dangerous political weapon.

I think religion is good. It keeps people in hope and shows them the right direction in life when they are ever lost. But people should give everything a thought before following it. Blind faith might lead to complete system failure and the deaths of several innocents. This film is an attempt to understand religion, its goods and cons, and how blind faith in anything could badly affect anybody’s life.

Salam is an animated short film project that explores the true meaning of Jihad by challenging the common misconception that it solely represents holy war or terrorism. Through the story of a mother and her son, the film presents Jihad as a concept of personal struggle and moral striving based on Islamic teachings. The project is supported by extensive research into Islamic literature, the Quran, Hadith, history, films, and other reference materials to understand the term's origins, interpretations, and misuse. It examines the distinction between the concepts of Greater Jihad (inner spiritual and moral struggle) and Lesser Jihad (armed conflict under specific circumstances), while highlighting that the Quran emphasizes righteousness and does not justify violence or terrorism in the name of religion. The project also documents the development of the film's narrative, characters, and visual style to communicate these ideas through animation.

Cinema is the combined effort of a number of art forms. The artistic use of all these art forms for the purpose of storytelling, conveying any abstract idea, or merely communicating anything to the viewer and making it into a single product can be described as filmmaking. Regarding the use of sound in cinema, it also requires a design similar to that of visual design. It is this sound design that lifts the audience to the emotional level that the filmmaker intends. It is this sound design that makes dramatic changes in moods, emotions, and feelings for the audience.

This project is about making school learning easier for children with dyslexia. Dyslexia is a specific learning disability in which a person with an average or above-average IQ faces difficulty reading and decoding words. There are approximately 5 to 15% (diagnosed) such students studying in regular schools, struggling to keep up with the progress of the class and often being labelled ‘dumb’ or'stupid', despite being gifted and intelligent individuals.

This project takes a deeper look into the mind of a dyslexic person, analyses different teaching methods that are employed to teach such children, and experiments with designing a new teaching methodology that is considerate of the crux of dyslexia and makes school less of a dread for a dyslexic person. A practical approach involving ground testing and consultations with special educators was taken for this project. Building upon what has already been done in this field, this project will be a visual animated dictionary that combines the spelling of the word in such a way with its meaning or visualisation that it becomes easy to remember for a person with dyslexia.

Sound is as important as visuals in a film and plays a major role in creating emotional impact and completing the viewing experience. While audiences often focus more on cinematography, poor sound quality can be equally distracting. Since we naturally experience the world through multiple senses, films primarily combine sight and hearing to create a complete experience. Sound can also communicate things that are not visible, such as distant trains, thunder, fans, or barking dogs, allowing the audience to imagine unseen elements. It reinforces the realism of visuals and carries much of their emotional impact. While visuals can sometimes work without sound, the absence of expected sound is immediately noticeable. Thus, sound and visuals work together, with sound often being an unnoticed but essential part of the cinematic experience.

‘Gender Discrimination’ has existed for generations and has affected the lives of both in many ways. However, according to research and studies, this discriminatory attitude is mostly in favour of men. Men are generally the prior gender and dominate women in this world of ‘Patriarchy’. There is discrimination against both, but women are perceived to be affected more in terms of education, work, salary, and many other areas. These contexts change in different countries. There are other extreme cases in African and Asian countries. In these countries, there are events like dowry, eve teasing, sexual harassment, rape, female infanticide, physical violence, and many more.

A motion comic book has usually been created by animators who take an existing comic book, use the original art, and apply motion to the characters to make it more like a cartoon than a comic book. Voice actors read the dialogue instead of word balloons, and the final result can be minutes or its own feature-length show.

This project explores the social and cultural role of shopping malls through visual ethnography. It examines how malls have evolved beyond shopping spaces into places for social interaction, where families, friends, couples, and people across generations gather, spend time, eat, and socialize. The study looks at the design, ambience, facilities, and spatial organization of malls, using field observation, documentation, and ethnographic research to understand patterns of human behaviour and social connectivity in contemporary urban spaces. The project also draws parallels between modern malls and traditional marketplaces, highlighting how both function as centres of community and social exchange.

The internship involved working on “Googli Jhanak Jhayein,” a stage adaptation of Upendra Kishore Roy Chowdhary’s Gopy Gyne Bagha Bajaye, directed by Salim Arif for Prithvi Theatre’s summer workshop. The project provided exposure to storytelling, acting, pre-production, production, rehearsals, stage design, props, and theatre practices. The work included developing masks, props, and digital and graphic elements and exploring ways to create a magical atmosphere within the technical limitations of the theatre. A key focus was the Ghost King sequence, enhanced through lighting, masks, music, and choreography. The internship also involved observing and participating in rehearsals with actors, musicians, and choreographers, providing an understanding of how different elements come together to create a live theatrical experience.

Nature is the best teacher. In times such as ours, nature conservation is of prime importance. Nature appeals to everyone in all its forms. The project began by keeping young children in focus. Extensive research was done on prevailing greenscapes in urban locales such as Godrej Colony at Vikhroli, Maharashtra Nature Park at Mahim, and mangroves along the eastern belt of Mumbai. The children in these areas have been sensitised to nature in a very natural way. Similarly, a diametrically opposite view was seen at a field study during a trek, where nature is a way of life and not a distinct entity. It was realised that the sooner the children are sensitised to nature and the sooner they see its'magic', the more responsible and aware they become to be one with it, to protect it, and to nurture it. And nurturing it is no simple task. It requires patience, affection, and boundless caring. While doing so, many aspects of us as humans are also seen to evolve.

This project explores Rabindranath Tagore’s relationship with nature through his poetry, paintings, and artistic philosophy. It examines how nature influenced his creative expression, particularly his use of natural imagery, symbolism, and the connection between human emotions and the natural world. The project also includes a sculptural exploration of Tagore’s artistic identity using terracotta, experimenting with both realistic and stylized interpretations. The study combines research into Tagore’s life and works with hands-on exploration of terracotta as a medium.

The mention of this form of art using the shadows of the hands and body to depict other objects can be found in ancient Chinese texts (A king arranged to have shadowgraphy shows to entertain his sick queen). Till a decade ago, this used to be regarded as an offshoot part of magical performances. The advances in this art form made by Amar Sen and his partner are huge, pushing the art to unbelievable new heights. The introduction of actual personality likenesses with human profiles of anatomical similarity and total cinematic shadow presentations complete with soundtracks and storyboards were introduced and refined. The current potential of this art as a new, unique, and novel medium of expression has been untapped, and the art at its peak is all set to die if no more practitioners of this art are created.

This project explores “Intrusive Art” at the Ajanta Caves, a term coined by art historian Prof. Walter M. Spink to describe unauthorized and unplanned sculptures and paintings added to the original cave structures. The research examines the presence and characteristics of intrusive sculptures across the caves, particularly their irregular placement and deviation from the original architectural symmetry. The project involved field research and photographic documentation of intrusive artworks, along with a study of the Hinayana and Mahayana phases of Ajanta’s development. The documentation highlights the importance of identifying these additions to better understand the original architecture, paintings, and sculptures of the Ajanta Caves.

This internship focused on the production design and staging of the children’s play Googli Jhanak Jaayein, directed by Salim Arif and adapted by Gulzar from a Bengali story by Upendra Kishore Roychowdhary. The work involved concept development, costume and character design, masks, props, and stage visuals. Initial explorations included puppet animation and projected backgrounds, which were later adapted due to technical limitations. A major focus was the magical ghost sequence, where UV lighting and fluorescent colours were used for masks and props. The internship provided hands-on experience in theatre production, stage design, and creating visual effects using simple materials and limited resources.

“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.” Buddha With age, mankind is moving towards a fast world. We are witnessing a mechanical way of life where the years go by like months, the months like days, and the days like minutes. Between the past and the future, there is a present, and most of us live either in the past or in the future. It is high time we reemphasize our age-old practices to enjoy and know the purpose of life. The best of the old practices is "Zen"—the path of paradox. An attempt is made to make the viewer realise the value of consciousness. To be mindful, to be in the present, to be an extravert, to develop calmness within, and to visualise the silence around us.

This project explores Zen philosophy, mindfulness, and the importance of living in the present moment through animation. The research draws from the 101 Zen Stories and explores concepts such as consciousness, meditation, silence, and the transformation from an introverted state to an expressive one, represented through the “seed to flower” metaphor. Several story concepts were developed around themes of enlightenment, mindfulness, and finding inner peace. The project focuses on translating these philosophical ideas into a simple and visually engaging animated narrative.

This summer internship project explores Gond tribal art, its social structure, cultural history, narratives, and the transition from traditional Gond art to the contemporary Pardhan Gond painting tradition. The study examines the themes, visual characteristics, and symbolism found in the paintings, including representations of flora, fauna, gods, goddesses, and human figures. Practical exploration of these traditional forms complemented the research and provided an understanding of the artistic practices and cultural influences shaping Pardhan Gond art.

“Libaas”, the term that stands for “dress” in Urdu, questions the superiority of one’s dress over one’s personality. It explores how clothing becomes a social construct that shapes perceptions of identity. Through animation, it questions whether attire merely covers us or defines how society perceives us—challenging the idea that appearance holds greater importance than personality. The work reflects on the cultural, emotional, and psychological layers embedded in what we wear, prompting viewers to rethink the relationship between self-expression and social judgement.

Agamya is a story set around the Ajanta Caves and explores the connection between their forgotten heritage and the present. The narrative revolves around two periods of time, following a man who becomes trapped in an ancient cave while pursuing his prey and a conscious being preserved by the forest. The project draws on Ajanta’s paintings, Buddhist philosophy, Jataka tales, historical research, and the visual narratives. The study examines themes of Samsara, attachment, ignorance, and the passage of time, connecting the historical and spiritual significance of Ajanta with a contemporary fictional narrative.

Stories literally shape our decisions. Stories define how we make sense of our lives and the world around us. For generations, comics have dominated the imaginations of children all around the world with the sagas of the most beloved characters ever created. And now motion comics are enriching this medium by narrating the story of these characters in a whole new way.

 

In contrast with traditional typewritten storybooks, comics are far more versatile in terms of storytelling, as they use not only images or illustrations but also speech balloons, captions, and onomatopoeia to indicate dialogue, narration, sound effects, or other information. Motion comics and modern technology have taken the traditional comic experience to the next level by combining print comic books with sound effects, voice acting, and animation.

 

This research project takes a look into the world of motion comics today and different methods for creating interactive motion comics for various platforms like iOS, Android, and Windows. Furthermore, this report briefly covers one specialised software tool, Smith Micro's Motion Artist, and one online tool, 'Narr8: Storybuilder, for creating motion comics for emerging artists.

Ltd. and an opening title sequence for the film Gadad Jambhal. The work involved concept development, 3D modelling, animation, lighting, texturing, motion graphics, and visual effects. The Gadad Jambhal title sequence explored a dark, sinister visual style incorporating rural and tribal elements to reflect the film’s themes of superstition and social oppression. The internship provided hands-on experience with professional production workflows and strengthened technical skills in 3D and animation design.

Stories literally shape our decisions. Stories define how we make sense of our lives and the world around us. Stories are everywhere; every day we experience different experiences and remember those experiences as a series of events, which could be translated as a story at the grass-roots level.

The motivation of this short film also comes from similar life-changing experiences I found in books and how they changed my perspective of the world around me. In a similar way, this film depicts the life-changing experience of a person deeply conflicted in his thoughts and actions and how his experiences throughout the film change his perspective on life and, moreover, define the meaning of life and the world itself.

The treatment, texture, colours, and CGI world in this film try to express a visual experience of a person's journey through the pages of a book. The film is not only a journey across the landscape but also a journey of the state of a mind going through a strong turbulence of hard choices. This report covers the formulation of the story, an extensive study of the cultures of central African tribes, the visualisation of the film, and its trailer breakdown.
