Glass World





I love dark flavored images and low light, hiding details but their are details. I thought it's a good opportunity to do with glass.

A tribute to Harry Potter franchise

Here lies Dobby a free elf.
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows part-2...WOW!!! Definitely this film made the whole franchise great, it is better than all the previous films, especially better than 4-7(part 1) but still the first film (A Sorcerer's Stone) is my favorite of all. A must see fantasy film.I enjoyed it a lot..
Composer John Williams did not return to the film but new composer Alexandre Desplat has composed a great music on this film..really the score is wonderful. He conducted the score at the London Symphony orchestra - Abbey Road Studio, where John Williams had conducted score for Star Wars films. He adapted John Williams' original themes and used it well, but missing John so much.
This film is a must see for film score fans and all the lovers of John Williams music.
I don't care if these films' screenplays stuck to the novels or didn't, but definitely these are great films. (this is what fans of the books usually complain, that the films are not as good as books or they changed everything....oooooff)
I am a huge fan of Harry Potter books too.
Directors Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuaron, Mike Newell, David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves have made these amazing films along with J.K.Rowling.
Well, it is no more only Star Wars saga and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, it is also Harry Potter now.
Thanks for J.K.Rowling for writing such beautiful stories.
Warner Bros was really genius about bringing the books to movies.
Thanks for the entire cast and crew of the whole franchise...the greatest cast I ever seen.... Now it is a beautiful memory of this magical world to me.

Principles of animation - Tarzan

Disney's Tarzan - a video presentation on 12 principles of animation. This was done for my 4th sem's 3D animation submissions. I edited the video and audio on Sony vegas pro 8 software, a night before my final submissions. Music is from Mark Mancina's album "Tarzan", and I remixed it using a single track called "A wondrous place" from the album. I really enjoyed a lot doing this.
