Hi Sir,
Hope you are fine there. You will be happy to know that the Unicef project I showed to you was screened in Israle and France. Soon this will be telecasted in televisions. And I have sent it to a German film fest. And the sand animation which I showed to you was screed in Delhi in the Spanish embassy. And they loved it like anything.
I want to share my success with you. I made two animation films and send it for national and international film festivals and both of them got shortlisted.
Media Factory Its a new animation studio also a production house which has come up. It's called Media Factory India Pvt. Ltd. I am working here as an animation visualizer. Did lots of projects in this short duration. Good that I joined a new firm which allows me lots of opportunities to work in almost all areas. Also working on an animation feature film which is a home production only. So lets see how it works...!
Great that you also trying to get hold of some animation projects. Let me know if I can also be a part of your efforts.
All the best!
Pix n Trix20.04.2008--Hey Sanjay Sir...!!! I'm good and yeah that's me only. I know its hard to digest so much of change, but thats the fact. Haahhaha. These days I'm in a firm called Pix n Trix.
