Documentary film on Cartoonist S. D. Phadnis

S. D. Phadnis is a renowned cartoonist and an illustrator, working for almost six decades. He has carved a niche for himself in the field of humorous illustrations. The simplicity in his work brings out the humor in the day-to-day life.

His outstanding illustrations in the Maths textbooks (1st/2nd std) for school children, introduced me to the splendid art of illustrations at a very early age. His illustrations made learning Maths more fun and easy.

Thanks to my documentary film project, I got an opportunity to meet him personally and understand his perspective towards his work.

Project 2 "Navchakra"

Exploration in Storytelling using Mythology: "Navchakra"

The earth has its own system of balancing its environment. The cycle of balance is going on from so many years. Now this cyclic process is facing numerous problems, which are slowly affecting the whole planet and ultimately, us. There are many organizations working on environmental issues to spread this awareness. This message needs to reach to every level, so the needed changes in human behavior and habits can be motivated. In India many people are illiterate and don't have access to technology. This message needs to find it’s way to all. 

I am trying to convey this concern for the environment in a manner, which is highly accessible though simplified. For this purpose, I am working on a theme, which is close to a large part of Indian society, who can easily relate to the way it is made. 

I am using a traditional way of entertainment, education and communication to convey my thoughts about environment, which is mythology.

Notation of life

It’s a film a short animated film on exploration of Music Sequence. Music takes form by the sequence of notation. It starts with a notation and ends with the notation, in between it shows how the nature has its different ways to create and share its natural music. I used elements of notation to create form of the nature and animals. It was like exploring music sequence by musical forms.
