Pixilation Animation - Sachin Tendulkar



Sachinnnnnnnnnn......Sachinnnnnnnnnnnnn!!

The day 16th Nov 2013 may have been written in golden words, as Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar got retired from the world of cricket. But I'll say 'Legends never retires'

About him I would just say !! कर्तुत्व आणि धैर्याचा महामेरू !!

Every fan may have given tributes to this legend in their own way. And so we have tried little bit from our side too.

We 'Lonavala -- Pune -- Train' group  did one poster where we stuck some famous photo cuttings of Mr. Sachin Tendulkar.

We managed some blank space on the poster to write some of our own slogans as a tribute to 'Sachin'.

Time lapse Ants Are Trying To Eat Lizard Completely


Hi here I would like to show you one more new experiment of mine.

I found a dead lizard & saw few ants coming to eat that lizard. Suddenly I got initiated with an idea to take frame by frame Pixilation animation.

But I saw only small ants came & not big one.
The idea was, I thought some big & red color ants will come & they'll eat the lizard till its skeleton left but that did not happen.

I paid a whole day to shoot the frames.

Stop Motion Animation "Slug" Good Morning


At once in rainy season when I woke up, I found one Slug in my study room. I got an idea to make one good animation with Snail as a leading character.
So moving on without hurting that Slug I planned to take few shots of Slug & finally done with the task at my best.

Only the light factor was not too much good as I expected, but anyway it was a good experience to have live character shoot.

It's my own sound in the background, but you can tolerate it & moreover it was good fun while recording the sound.

Moon Travelling Through The Night Sky Part 02


Here I'm presenting one more Pixilation animation experiment on moon movement.
 Photos for this Pixilation animation are taken by Nikon D 5100 and Nikon remote control & around 311 photos were taken in 1 hour. This is the second moon movement experiment I have done.

Making of one short story on Moon movement animation. Please keep & watch for next experiment.

Hi Folks,

    Well this is a small attempt to showcase our stop motion animation..the concept being "Birds of the same feather at times do flock together"
    I happened to make the 3 characters,and then Suraj came up with the concept of stop motion..and give the characters life.We then started off shooting a few clips for practice..and then moved on to the final clips!!    Materials used for the characters are :"Flipper" - Egg for the body,paper for wings and legs, thermocol balls for the eyes and paints,
    "Cera"- plastic bottle ,walnut for the beak,buttons for the eyes,paper for wings and legs,"Jojo"- Plastic bottle for the body, paper for beak,wings,legs.

Camera :Shot with Nikon D5100
*The Frames per animation is 300 approx.



We have had a lot of fun and learn't quite a few things during the  whole shooting..Please sit back and enjoy these clips, and we would love to have your feedback's!!

P.S. This is just for practice and has not been used for any commercial purposes.

Bal Krishna



I know, multiplicity is not new for industry, but its just another experiment of mine. Earlier, I used to do it only for photos, i tried first time for video. I wanted to do this for long time, and I did this experiment on auspicious day of "Krishna Janmasthami", while celebrating Dahi-Handi.

Don't forgot to give me your feedback

Sound credits: From "Krishna Aur Kans" movie.

The Planet's Most Hilarious Animals 01







This is my new experiment. Here I did some animal shooting and edited with some sound effects to make it funny.
 I have plans to make similar videos with different animals. Really excited about it. Keep watching the channel for latest and upcoming videos "The Planet's Most Hilarious Animals".

The Making Of Joker & Magician - Character Development


I've created two characters "Joker & Magician". In future I am planning to create small gags in Stop Motion on these characters. Here I am showing character development and what kind of technique I'm using for the same. I've used ball joint technique for these two models.

Stop Motion Ball & Rasna


Within 90 min I done this Stop Motion Animation. When I am in Rajasthan for my friends wedding function.

Pixillation Animation Chittorgarh Fort


This is one of the best experience of my life. When I was in Rajasthan I visited "Chittorgardh fort of Maharana Pratap".
Fort is really excellent and has occupied around 14km area of the mountain.
All its construction, design is just marvelous.
I then felt that I have to do some Pixilation animation on fort. And I got one good concept. I finalized my pose that I have to use in the film, which was two-wheeler driving pose. I used this pose everywhere on the fort to accomplish the task.
I would like to give special thanks to my colleague for helping me a lot for making this happened.
Hope you guys would like it!

Please have a look on some of my other films on My YouTube Channel:

Snowman Stop Motion Animation 2013


Had great experience while making this animation too.

The Making of Snowman Character - Stop Motion Animation


Here I want to show how we created the character of Snowman.
For making this character we used kid's 2-plastic balls, tissue paper, newspaper, fevicol, tinted paper, cotton, non-galvanize aluminum wire, medical tape.
Had great experience while making this character & animation too.

Stop Motion Camera Dolly - Monkey StopMotion


Here I've used new technique "Stop motion camera dolly" for my new animation. But In this animation I've moved the camera frame by frame using technique of 'camera dolly' while animating the character, we can still have good output using this technique.
Please check the animation & what kind of technique I've used behind the scene.
For this to accomplished I've used Nikon D5100 camera.
I'm feeling like in heaven after achieving the task.

In my next short film I'm definitely going to use this technique.

Hope you guys would like it!!

Dinosaur fight


This is my perspective to animated Dinosaur fight. It has been one of my first attempts after attending "TASI" Stop Motion Model Making workshop at Nagpur 2013.
There I was awarded among top 10 for model making for these characters. My inspiration of these characters has been Steven Spielberg's 'The Jurassic Park' movie series & Pixar's 'How to train you're Dragon' animation film.

I have to thank my partner Ajay Shinde for his contribution to this film. It was through our imagination of a battle among these Giants of the Past World that has resulted into this beautiful animation film.
Check out for our special effects through camerawork and sound, which were designed very arduously and hope you will enjoy it too.

 So, do like it if u enjoy it and watch out for 'Behind the Scene' special.

Time To Show Real Magic


Please must watch this video & give me your reply what magic in this video !

Making Of Armature


This is the first Armature of my Stop Motion Model. It's taken too much time to create the armature, but I am really happy after making this model.
In future I am planing to do some good animation with this character. This model I used ball joint technique for hand & Leg. But I created one more new experiment for hand & leg will show you as soon as possible.

The Making Of Horse Part 1 of 2


This is the first mold making process by me & my friends.

Save Water


Here I've used my stop motion animation technique to focus on one of the major issue now a days we are suffering and that is nothing but a 'DROUGHT'.
So moving on with this I've tried to focus on "Save Water" concept. Through news papers and channels we are getting to know how people are struggling with 'DROUGHT'.

All these stuff forced me to do something for them, and that's what I've tried here to present myself through my skills of stop motion animation.

To achieve the task I've used toys. I've done the task at night from 11.00 pm to 03.30 am which has resulted in lack of good enough light for animation.
I really had good experience animating 13 characters at a time. While doing so I realized one important thing that concentrating on movement of all characters and managing playback sound is not an easy task.

Water is Life, don't waste it....!!

*Please note that whatever water wastage shown in the film is actually collected skillfully in the vessel and used as well.

Making Of Raigad Pixilation Animation


"Raigad" Pixilation Animation
This has by far been one of the best experiences of my life.To begin with, it was the first time I used my Nikon D5100, for an outdoor shoot, it was indeed quite tough to handle most of the functions,thanks to Our team who did a great job. So before going to Raigad, we actually did not have any plans for shooting.
The only thing we had was, some drapery and a flag. 

When we reached the base of the fort, it was then that the concept of shooting this film clicked in one of our minds. We shot it during peak summers, and it's a must mention that our lead actor"Ajay Shinde" indeed did an amazing job. He walked the entire fort without any footwear, which I think definitely needs some gutts to do..Kudos to Ajay!!
It was almost 7:00pm after we reached the top of the fort, but we still had to shoot our last fighting scene. Which was done finally after quite some practice.
I take this opportunity to thank all my friends who supported me, and helped me out to complete this film effortlessly. It wouldn't be possible without their help.

Music
The kind of music that was planned for this film was something that needed a classical base, which meant use of Tabla, Flute, Shankh etc. As we started to create d music, we realized we dint have a good Mic for recording, so we had to use a mobile ph for the same. Goes without saying, we sadly couldn't
Get the exact feel for the music.We tried our best though!:)

This is what brief of the Lord, the Legend and the God of The Great Maratha Empire 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj' who inspired and united the common man to fight against the cruelty by inculcating a sense of pride and nationality in them.
