Save the Tiger
The concept of blasphemy against the Gods has a complex history in Hinduism. However, there are several occasions where religion becomes the last resort to enforce acceptable behaviour or code of conduct. These actions are condoned in Hinduism and have a huge impact on people and society. Traditionally, animals have always been considered sacred in the Hindu culture. Some animals have even been symbolically worshipped and are portrayed as the ‘vahana’ or vehicles of gods and goddesses. The mighty lord Shiva rides a Bull, Lord Ganesh ride a mouse and Goddess Durga rides a tiger. Even though tigers are worshipped in India, there is still a lack of awareness about their decreasing numbers among the people. Using these religious connotations, this film presents a sardonic take on the issue of “Save the Tiger”. |
Modern Man (An Animated Tribute to George Carlin)
An animated tribute to one of the world's all time great comedian philosophers, George Carlin, based on his relentlessly poignant and self reflective monologue "I'm a Modern Man". This film is a cut-out style animation anijam and was created by students from my animation classes at Philadelphia's University of the Arts from 2009 to 2013. The inspiration for this project began when George Carlin was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American humor in 2008. He did not live to attend this event in his honor and was the first person to receive this award posthumously. |
Sun City
A group of workers are working on a building construction. There is a light bulb installed on top of the dome which will rise and descend along with the dome surrounding the city parameter. Somehow the nighttime is set to be shorter duration. Therefore, they work longer hours without knowing it. As time goes go, the building kept piling taller and taller. Some workers find out the bulb is not the sun and destroy it. But soon after, it is replaced with a new one. The cycle goes on repeating itself. |
