My Animation is in this Documentary!
Well sort of...
Several years ago, I worked on creating character designs based on the real life family members in this documentary. In fact, if you go back to an earlier posting of this blog, you will see some of those early designs.
I came up with the designs with the understanding that I would create the storyboards, the animatic and eventually the final animation in the film. I could make my own documentary of this process, but it wouldn't be as enjoyable as the "Meet the Patels" documentary has finally become.
After 6 years of hard work and dedication, Ravi and Geeta have finally finished their epic about dating in the modern world from a traditional India perspective. Its a very fun and often touching look at the struggles of Ravi trying to find his sole mate, while his sister Geeta documents the process.
They have a Kickstarter campaign to get their film into the theaters nationwide, but they need your help asap. You can learn more by click on the photo of Ravi below!
Looks like Geeta and Ravi's film will finally get on the big screen and perhaps even at a theater near you! The Kickstarter funding was a success and if you ever get a chance to see it, here's the latest trailer!
UPDATE: You will get a chance to see the film in September which is not to be missed and worth the price of admission! If you have seen it, please let us know what you thought of it.

Freelance Animation 102
The check did arrive and the first payment was happily received by my bank as I handed it to the teller. I start the task of doing character designs in a very simple and cartoon style. Style A is a group of typical stick people designs of kids and adult characters. I noticed while drawing the adult characters that the black stick arms and hands looked pretty creepy, but on the kids it looked fine.
I always like to do a few more samples to give the client a choice in which style they like the best. Here then is Style B, which is more of simple cartoon designs, without the stick limbs.

I thought these would be two different styles to start with and will be ready if the client has something else in mind. Sometimes designing the characters takes the longest to do, but in the end you will have a final design that everyone approves and you can start animating.
And so, give the choice of these two styles, which Style do you like? Style A or Style B? Let me know, and let's see if the Client agrees with you or not... Leave a comment, what Country are you from and your choice.
Merci, Danke, Muchas Gracias,Thank you
