In a sober (on account of the terrible tragedy in Kolkata hospital fire) yet glittering (on account of all the animation talent and dignitaries) event, we received the award for the BEST ANIMATED FEATURE for TRIPURA- THE THREE CITIES OF MAYA at the INFOCOM-ASSOCHAM EME Awards function, ITC Sonar, 10th December 2011.

The Bisleri ad has been catching the fancy of the TV viewing public for a while now! We designed the monster (modelled and animated by VCL of ‘Roadside Romeo’ fame), storyboarded the adfilm and also created the miniature painting sequence that appears at the start of the commercial.
Animation Reporter featured this unique collaboration between Director Ram Madhwani of Equinox Films and Animagic in their sketchbook section of the December issue!

A piece on an important aspect of the growth of animation in India. There are some strange editorial changes which are not Akshata’s work for sure. For starters, Animagic’s core team created all the pre-production of the feature, TRIPURA. Incredible as that may be, it is NOT the same as making the whole movie. This was outsourced to a capable studio in Malaysia, Inspidea!

Animagic Studios has done it again. It has created and animated caricature versions of Bollywood actors Sanjay Dutt & Ajay Devgn for the David Dhawan film ‘Rascals‘, which released this week all over India. This 3.5 minutes title sequence in 2D animation has CG elements as well, this has been made for the opening credits of the film and it stylishly introduces the characters of the protagonists (Sanjay & Ajay).
Speaking to AnimationXpress.com, Animation Filmmaker and Director, Animagic’s Chetan Sharma shares, “The characters of Sanjay and Ajay are conmen in the film and the the title sequence is designed around their pranks. David had seen our caricature of Munnabhai and wanted us to design for Rascals. He had some ideas, but apart from that the entire staging, story and the look of the sequence was completely left to us. We wanted it to be glitzy, popish and as the characters are scamsters, a little screwball too.”
THE FLYING MACHINE, by Martin Clapp and Geoff Lindsey (Poland),THE UGLY DUCKLING, by Garri Bardin (Russia), GEORGE, THE HEDGEHOG, by Wojtek Wawszczyk (Poland) & TRIPURA: THE THREE CITIES OF MAYA, by Chetan Sharma (India) shortlisted for the Prize for Feature Films in International Competition in the 35th Edition of CINANIMA – International Animated Film Festival.
The August issue of ANIMATION REPORTER features ANIMAGIC as its Cover story for a second consecutive time!!!
Inspired by the journey of the studio over these past 14 odd years they decided to do a special feature which covered Animagic right from its inception as a company 16 years ago!! Besides an indepth interview it ran an extensive sketchbook section which showcased the highlights of our long and varied career as filmmakers and artists. We are awed by their excitement and generosity in bringing the Animagic adventure to the community and world at large. Read More
