Rajiv Chilakalapudi, the creator of Chhota Bheem wants to take his
success to the next level. He wants to redo the magic of Chhota Bheem
in a 3D format now. For one, the next version of Chhota Bheem, reckoned
to be a Rs200 crore brand now, will have extensive camera movements and
3D characters.
Chilaka, who was presented with
the Leadership Excellence Award by the Association of Bangalore
Animation Industry (ABAI), said the industry had matured over the years.
Twelve years ago, when he started, Indians at overseas industry meets
would not even talk to each other. But now the industry has grown up, so
much so that you even get to see India pavilions at animation industry
events abroad.
AnimationSutra.com wishes Rajiv Chilakalapudi and his team a roaring success for all their future endeavors.

Phenakistoscope (1831) A phenakistoscope disc by Eadweard Muybridge (1893).The phenakistoscope was an early animation device. It was invented in 1831 simultaneously by the Belgian Joseph Plateau and the Austrian Simon von Stampfer. It consists of a disk with a series of images, drawn on radii evenly spaced around the center of the disk. Slots are cut out of the disk on the same radii as the drawings, but at a different distance from the center. The device would be placed in front of a mirror and spun. As the phenakistoscope is spun, a viewer would look through the slots at the reflection of the drawings which would only become visible when a slot passes by the viewer's eye. This created the illusion of animation.
