Why do people say “God Bless You” when you sneeze?

In the medieval time, people thought that when you sneeze, your soul leaves your body through the nose and you are dead for that millisecond of time. This happens within 500th of a second. Your eyes get close, your heart best stops, your body gets sucked and start getting goose bumps all over and you really can not do anything.

There is a saying that devil/demon always sleeps on your nose and always finds a way to get inside your body. Now, within that meantime, when he finds your body without a soul, he tries to get inside before your own soul gets inside your body.

But if somebody says “God Bless You”, they protect you from the bad spirits or that devil from entering and possessing your body and your soul gets a chance to get back in it.

Character Design

2009-04-13T21:35:00.019+05:30

This piece of work had been done for an Airtel advertisement during my internship at “Famous house of Animation”. There were 7-8 characters that I had to design and this is one of them. The name of this character is "Lans Nayak Badrinath" from Coochbihar.

Once I was happy with this character, I scanned it and placed the sketches on the machine and start cleaning up using Photoshop.

After cleanup, I put a base texture to get a grunge effect and a base colour in the cloth and the cap. Then, I added a base colour to it, to give it a nice dark/gloomy feeling. And then added some light rays also from top right.

Then I starts colouring the body with flat colours and with flat tonal variation and then start merging it slowly-slowly. Always use different layers and folders for different colours and shades. It helps you to alter later if you need to make changes.

After the coloring process is complete you need to add some shading. Shading makes the character look 3 dimensional and real. So I had applied light and shade considering the light source and the light reflection and refractions.

Here is a detail look of the face.

Here's the final piece!

My P2 (project II) at IDC and my favorite also.
I started with the concept first and visualise it as a storyboard.
Storyboard:

With the frames of the storyboard,
I did the animatic with sound to get the timing correct.
Animatic:

The film:

"Even though people do know that war always has a destructive ending, they still fight. So it appears that war shall always exists in this world, it will never die. The evil part is always there within us. We never know when this evil part inside us will overpower our conscience and take us to do war. And to overcome that evil part, love and affections is the only solution".

A Dream of a Fisherman

A Dream of a Fisherman - is one of the class assignment that I had done at IDC. The assignment was to track the movement of the fish and its behavior.

Just Yesterday

The first animation film that I had done at IDC (14Jan 2007).

This film is dedicated to the beautiful nature that I had left long behind and have it only in my memories.
When I joined IDC (IIT Bombay), I found myself to be back home to my native place Guwahati (Assam), which had lush green trees, colourful blooming flowers, serene lake and soothing cool breezes. The bright and glowing full moon night’s hiding behind the waddling leaves; always attract me while returning from the department late in the night.
In the monsoon shower, it always reminded me of my school day, holding umbrella in an angle, so that I won’t get wet, but however hard I tried, I always used to get wet from the bottom.
And I use to feel very homely every time I experience this.
