Old Friends

As you move through life, you meet so many people. Some leave a lasting impression on your mind. I was fortunate to work with some really talented people while I was working in Waterford. I had lost contact with many of them. However thanks to help from Sachin, I now have links to all their blogs. Such awesome work. Keeps me on the ground and reminds me that I have a lot to learn.
Take some time to go through their blogs listed on the right. Jeff Davis, Juliann Law, Seth Hippen and Nate Baertsch. Thanks guys for the inspiration.

Chubbchubbs Save Xmas released

Finally the ChubbChubbs Saves Xmas project is done. 4 weeks of days and nights in the studio. It was released on 8th August in US in 500 theaters with the Cuba Gooding Jr. comedy Daddy Day Camp.(Press Release) However, The main movie has not received rave reviews Funnily there was more expectations from the short. Thankfully, it seems that the short was liked more than the movie. We are not sure if our team will be credited. The comment at the end of this page isn't very encouraging. But overall it was a great experience handling lighting for the entire project with such a short deadline. Thankfully it will be released with the Surf's Up DVD this October. Do try to catch it. Its reasonably funny. If it gets released online I will post the clip here.

Happydent ad

Rarely does one come across a very innovative ad that you want to watch again and again. So when one does come along it a moment to be treasured.
This ad for Happydent by Perfetti van Melle is one such ad. It is amusing, has a high recall value and it highlights the product characteristics. The vfx is impeccable. The ad was shot by Ram Madhvani in just eight days at Panvel, with Prasoon Joshi taking care of the creative.
Another feather in the ad agency McCann Erickson's cap.

Another ad that has caught my attention has been the Blackberry Pearl ad. Clean and classy. Unfortunately cannot find an online link to it. The music is very hummable and surely will be my ringtone for some days.
