THe 3000 Meters
It all starts of on bright sunny day. The atheltes are waiting for their fun marathon to start. All are warming and then the screen goes black and white and except for this special girl. Suddenly, the starter whistles stating the commencement of the race. The girl is followed through out the race. Through out the race untill the 2000 meters she is pretty normal and constantly at the 4th or 5th position.During the last 1000 meters, her face changes drastically. She becomes more pale. She show more urgency. She starts sprinting, still with the same face but changing still more drastically. She suddenly crops up to the 2nd position in the with the last 600 meters to go. Takes the lead within the next 50 meters. The face still changes drastically, and she become more aggrsive to reach the finish line. She sprintsd faster than a 100 meters race. Her face starts showing anger sign as to where is the finish line. She sprints even more fastr. She turns up near the finish line.Succesfully completes the race but she's still sprinting. She grabs her trophy and is still sprinting. She then gets to the nearest hotel. Bangs in through the hall of the hotel. Searches for the nearest ladies toilet. Bangs that door the door open. And still on the commode with the trophy on her lap and she's admiring it.Credit Roll Out.The End
Long Time No Blog
It's been a long time since I have blogged. Its very hectic things that I am going around and doing my stuff. Well I'm in a production group which is in a process of doing a Pixelated Movie and then I am practicing daily more than 100 Gesture Drawing, trying to improve to detailed drawing but attempts made were unsuccessful , am still trying, then doing story boards for a small script which I will be blogging later. Other than that, I've had pretty unusual spree of losing stuff. First I almost lost my I Pod, and then completely lost my wallet, and then my cell Phone, and then now I almost lost my keys. God knows, cause I always try to be careful and the more careful I try , I screw up.
Another Thing is that, I always want to be felt wanted and now days nothing like that is happening. To just feel wanted, I voluntarily went to help one of the production team to shoot some scenes and I ended up messing up their whole project. Seriously, I don’t get it. I just feel that I am unwanted. Why?
Another thing is that my house which is still under construction doesn’t have continuous electricity and they haven’t finished the work at my home. So I am bit lot pissed.
So live and let Live.

The afterMath Of WaRs
The inspiration for this movie is from the poem 'survivors' because I like how the poem revolved around the aftermath of wars.
It would start of with full fledged dance and party for the occasion of the war won by that place. Then the focus would be on a group of soldiers (the only soldiers present there). These soldiers are sad, petrified, by the aftermath of the war, but still are just acting like they are having fun. Then scene zooms into one of the soldier’s eyes whose name is Mark in which it would show a war scene where an enemy shoots and it just passes by Mark’s ears and hits another soldier who was the best friend of Mark. Then the scene goes in slow motion ,the friend dying. The scene zooms in to the dying friends eyes, in which we see all red blooded, fun filled, full of life just waiting to sign up for being a soldier. This is because they are proud to represent their country in a war. We then see that Mark and his dying friend (at that time) posing with full joy for a picture just taken for remembrance. Suddenly the scene zooms out and we see the eye lids of the dying soldier closing and Mark, who is shocked, burst out all the bullets he's got, kills the enemy, runs to his dead friend, grabs him before he falls and holds him on his knees .He blinks. When he closes his eye lid for blinking, the scene changes from the war back drop to the group of soldiers in the party and then finally to the whole party. Credits Roll Out.

Hectic Time going on...
Hey there ,
Its been a very hectic and very busy time for me. Lot of home work like creating a story board for a story, doing 300 sketches, doing 3 object studies, writing essays and a lot of other stuff also. In the middle of all of this there was a college activity day and i participated in the it for gaming and we luckily won. Another thing is that there is no stable current in my house. It goes around 8 in morning and is put back at 6.30 in the evening. So right now in my life there's a lot of happiness and sadness.
Its like how they say...
Everything is fair in love and war

The ComeBack
Well. It's been a long time since I posted a blog.
Anyways college life is good. We watch movies daily which is quite boring because we see only olden historic movies(If it were new then I would die to watch them). And the rest of the time we scribble our whole time. Its quite fun.
About two week back we made Optical Toys. They are instruments that were used in olden times to animate. There are different types of them and we made a Phenakistoscope and a Tharmatrope. Pretty interesting stuff and very exticiting to do as it just feels like recreating history. Nothing much has been happening since then .Will keep updating as regular as possible

The difference between Acting and Performance
The Difference between Acting and Performance
The Dictionary Meaning of Both the words:
1. Acting: Art of representing a character on a stage or before a camera by means of movement, gesture, and intonation. It is the work of an actor or actress, which is a person in theatre, television, film, or any other storytelling medium who tells the story by portraying a character and, usually, speaking or singing the written text or play.
2. Performance: It is the art of doing something successfully; using knowledge as distinguished from merely possessing it;
My Understanding:
First of all, it’s quite interesting that there is such an argument between acting and performance because as of I am concerned that is pretty much it. But still, if this issue is looked into deeply there are quite a lot of different points of views.
Acting, as the definition depicts, is the art of presenting a character, a role which is given to an actor by who so ever concerned. Acting is what is done on a daily basis. But performance, is what is been appreciated by the audience. It’s that part of the act which is presented by the actor using the acting skills. .
For example, after watching a movie, we always commend on the actor performance and not on the acting because it’s always that the performance that is more appreciated than the acting skills. For a person who looks at making a animated movie, then it’s taking the right performance and put it in the right place. The acting skill just enlarges our thinking and broadens our creativity by a large extent.
