Terror at the Drive in Show (Making of One Minute Short, and Promo Stuff)
Hi guys, lot of talk is happening on Animation films and all,
I’m very eager to share my experience with you guys, about making of my One Min Short, “Terror at the Drive in Show”, (find it in PfCOne 2007 Day Two), For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, here it is :
I was thinking about this theme for long time, but I had no idea about execution of it,. But it happened so suddenly when I read the announcement of PFC One Min Online Film Festival,.
and at that same time, friend of mine 'Nitin Veturkar'(he is in the film) told me that ,there used to be Drive in Theater in BKC (Bandra Kurla Complex),. I was so fascinated, thinking what kind of film they were playing and which cars people drive, at that time. I’m huge fan of Old Black & White,Horror films like Bride of Frankenstien,Black Sunday, and films of Ray Harryhousen . and that was the Inspiration.
So here is my film, “Terror at the Drive in Show”,. where one of the audience experience Something Evil,. while watching “Bride of Frankenstein”.
*Storyboard: I prepared rough Storyboard first,
*Set Design: Designing the set was an interesting part, I’ve got this small toy cars,(I Love it), crumpled sheet of paper ,for ground , one little twig for tree in the foreground, and simple torch for lighting, My stage was my Mac Laptop, I lay my set on keyboard, then Designed Wallpaper in Photoshop,(background sky and wall which is where you see “Frankenstein” Movie,. ) I play the footage of “Bride of Frankenstien” on my Laptop, using Divx, when you play movie on Divx, the controls-panel disappears, and you see only screen of the movie, then I adjust that screen on my wallpaper, ,..and Shooting start. I used Canon Still camera 7.1 mega pixel
*Live Action Shoot After shooting the scenes with the toy cars, I called my friend Nitin Veturkar. who did part of Boogeyman,He came along with Mayur ,Victim, (He was Victim of my Indulgence too,he he ) then I shot the remaining scenes with the real car, from inside and outside,. when you see Victim of the movie watching film from his car,. it was Nitin who was holding the Laptop outside, which was playing the footage of “Bride of Frankenstien” same thing with the reflection on the car,
*Music I composed the “Terror” Theme using Keyboards in software called “Garagband” ,
*Edit In the end I mix every thing together -Set footage, Live Action Footage and Music Score all together,.For Editing the entire footage I used Software called I Movie, its a simple user friendly software, it has got simple effects and transition tools.
So thats it,.——————————————–
Innitially I was thinking of Boy and his Girlfriend watching Vampire movie, and boy was so involve in the film, suddenlly he noticed that his girlfriend sitting beside, staring at him with pale face and sharp fangs, Ready for attack and suck his blood,
anyways, I’m going to do that version later on, Film Title could be BlowJob or something , he he
Anyways,. Check out the Images,Making and Promo stuff and ENJOY

If you think, Cuteness means Innocence, You are wrong, And if you disagree, Then Killer rabbit will come; for your blood ‘Tonight’.
"Sally Lockhart", Charcter from Philip Pullmans detective (Victorien) novels,. this is my take on the character She is 'Deadly but Delicate', (keep pistol inside her little purse)
All these Character Designs are for Disney Asia's show "Legends of the Ring of Fire" (featuring Asian Folktales) this particular folktale is from Japan, called 'Taro and the 3 riddles'. - Taro
From childhood's hour I have not been As others were---I have not seen As others saw---I could not bring My passions from a common spring. From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I lov'd, I loved alone. Then---in my childhood---in the dawn Of a most stormy life---was drawn From ev'ry depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain, From the sun that 'round me roll'd In its autumn tint of gold--- From the lightning in the sky As it pass'd me flying by--- From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view.
Hi This is my first post, (for animated short) This one is based on 'Grimm brothers fairy tale'

He is waiting and he has got the perfect plan. So does the spirited little girl end up in his belly?
