Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan wants to make the sequel of his
2011 s superhero flick Ra.One . The film was the first of its kind in
Indian cinema, in which special effects were beautifully used. Talking
about the film, SRK said that such films require at least two to three
years putting perfection in each and every scene. We have to prepare it
with the trained technicians for such sci-fiction films. We have the
latest technology and the equipment, but we lack trained technicians.
For Ra.One , we had hired 50 foreign-trained technicians. I would love
to work in Ra.One 2 , but its not easy. For a film with a different
genre like Ra.One , I will need at least two to three years for
preparation, SRK said.
Ra.One
is an Indian science fiction film. The total cost of making the film was
around Rs 150 crore. The film has a total of 3,500 visual effects (VFX)
shots. Shahrukh s Red Chilles teamed-up with Jeffrey Kleiser,
co-founder of US-based Synthesian Studios, to work on the VFX in the
film.
We are delighted to announce that ABAI is conducting “Clay Animation Workshopâ€
The workshop is design to help the animator to learn the basics of stop-motion animation. Groups design their own clay characters and then produce a short animated film using multimedia tools.
During the visit, participants engage in each step of the process, from developing a story concept, to sculpting clay characters, to filming a stop motion animation movie.
The clay animation workshop develops animation skills through storytelling and sequencing, and emphasizes creativity, communication,
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.
