Hi all! I've been meaning to start a blog for my animation/pre-production work for a while, but only just got around to doing it today. But I'm very excited to start and hopefully will stay consistent in posting things!
Okay, so, introductions first. My name is Nirali, I'm 22, and I love drawing and chocolate. I'm currently doing my Master of Animation at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia. I graduated from my undergraduate course in animation in 2011, but felt like I just hadn't had enough of learning, so I decided to go on and do my masters. I also studied at Gobelins in Paris in the summer (well, winter in Australia) in their Summerschool Character Animation Program. That was an absolutely amazing experience.
Hmm... What else has been happening this year... My short animated student film that I made last year, Whale Song, has been screening at some festivals, so that's been exciting! I've also been working on two other films this year - one is my second year masters student film, and the other is a film for the organisation Australia for Dolphins. They saw my student film Whale Song, and wanted me to create a similar film for them about dolphins, with a story that would help raise awareness about the dolphin slaughter going on in Taiji.
Okay, enough rambling for now. Time for some artwork! Here's some of the early character designs for Annie, one of the main characters in Whale Song:
