CONGRADULATIONS to all the CG Artists from PRANA STUDIOS for putting their best efforts in making it a big success. All was made possible in just above three months yet meeting the quality above expectations of the clients. What’s more … I was the Rigging Lead on this project and the biggest challenge was to meet the shortest deadline ever yet getting the rigs to meet the demands of the crazy animation. Its extremely satisfying to see all the hard work paying off now. Kudos to my team! Arun, Atri, Chris, Dipti, Mani R, Mani Kumar, Mani Bhushan Kumar, Parikshit and Seema. Special applause to our production coordinator Esmeralda who did a great job keeping track and making sure everything falls in place!
“Chubb Chubbs Save X-Mas” is the second short film produced by Sony Imageworks following the Original Oscar winner “The Chubb Chubbs”. Now wins the Big Apple award this year!
In “Chubb Chubbs Save X-Mas” Meeper and Chubbs are apparently kicked out of every alien planet they ever visited since none can stand the annoying habit of the Chubbs destroying anything and everything. As Meeper flies Chubbs in his “home-like” spacecraft in search of a new planet and perhaps a new home, he gets a message from Santa, that he would give away gifts for Christmas. So Meeper thinks he can make the best use of this opportunity and ask for a new home for him and his beloved Chubbs and there begins the fun!
