Floursack Exercise
FlourSack Exercise from Makarand Nazirkar on Vimeo.
This is an Animation Exercise I did at the Sheridan College. Mark really wanted us to stress on the performance of the sack to make it lively and more human, and also following the principles of animation. This is what I came up with hope you like it.

Back to the basics
Well here I am again, after a short break. Had been busy with my preparations for starting my studies at Sheridan. Reached here on 11th Sept, and may I say this is a big... like... BIG country. I am here at the Trafalgar rd. Campus in Oakville, Ontario, and man am I excited for the first day. Of course I am here with my better half (God, I don't know what I would do without her.) But yeah, things are looking good.
Anyways day one was interesting, Mark was great, Got sneak peak into the director's domain, the psyche of a film maker and yeah where the audience stands in the entire film making process. I got to tell you, films are not as easy to make as they are to look at munching on a bag of popcorns. There is a lot that goes behind weaving the magic that happens on the screens of our multiplexes. And there is a lot more that goes behind keeping you glued to your seats throughout the film.
OK, Coming back to the college, got some thorough Life Drawing sessions under the watchful eye of Brian Hladin. And yeah Ed our model for the sessions also needs a special mention. That guy can hold a pose for like forever. Thanks Ed for all your patience as we scribble on the canvas with our charcoal pencils. Oh and Brian was superb too. I like the way he teaches.
That said, I need to get back to my assignments. Well I am super excited to see what lies at the other end of this one year program, but there is also this inner childlike feeling that just doesn't want this year to end. It's such a breath taking experience that I think, I am left with just one question on my mind, as Mark rightfully says "What's gonna happen next?"
