As one of the five students who worked on Mana Hai, I'm thrilled to share that our short animated film was a part of a larger cluster of Short animated films titled "TapriNama". Under the guidance of Professor Prosenjit Ganguli, we set out to showcase the common superstitions of Indian society in a creative and innovative manner, distinct from traditional portrayals.

Animatic - An animatic is a pre-visualization tool used in animation production to plan and visualize how a sequence or scene will look in the final animated product.
Background music, Composed and created on Garage Band, Ipad.
The tight deadline of just 9 days added an extra layer of pressure, but we were determined to create something that we could be proud of. We put in countless hours, often working late into the night, to ensure that every detail was perfect. It was challenging, but it was also incredibly rewarding to see our hard work pay off in the final product.
Working on Mana Hai gave us the opportunity to put our theoretical knowledge into practice and gain hands-on experience in animation production. We learned valuable lessons in time management, collaboration, and problem-solving that will undoubtedly serve us well in our future careers.
Ultimately, the most fulfilling aspect of the project was being able to share our creation with a larger audience. The screening at the Institute of Design Nima University was a moment of pride for all of us, and the positive feedback we received only further fueled our passion for animation.
