"Must go faster, MUST GO FASTER!"

"Put your hands up in the air, & wave them around like you just don't care!" Jurassic Park has and will be one of my favorite movies and the irrational fear of 'raptors' will  not soon go. Welcome to the Cretaceous Park (named correctly)

Walter Kovacs (March 21, 1940 - November 2, 1985), a.k.a. Rorschach

Rorschach : Of course. You must protect Veidt's new utopia. What's  one more body amongst  the foundations? Well, what are you waiting for? Do it.  [ Dr. Manhattan hesitates ]  Rorschach : DO IT!  One of Alan Moore's most amazing stories, Watchmen, is as Marty McFly quotes "heavy". And the apparent gravity is intensified by Rorschach's morally absolutist, nihilistic journal entries. Of all moments, Rorschach's death hurt the most. Those who haven't read the graphic novel they must read it, and the lazy ones, please watch the movie. Zach Snyder does justice to the masterpiece .

Shifting Sights & Sounds - An Animation Study

I love stories and the process of story telling! My most favorite medium of storytelling is animation mostly because, you incorporate all the other forms of art to simulate an imaginarium so intricate and controlled by the artists' eye view, while at the same time sparking genesis of a room for more imagination in that world the artist has just ideated ! It is, thus, chiefly for this reason I respect animated movies more than the best live-action production there is to see, not only out of respect for the work put in, but the very beauty of that hard-work and the subsequent opus!  Above is my first attempt at animation, and below my second. Being a self taught artist, I thought it'd be easy to be a self taught animator, turns out it is nowhere close to trivial, but is tough and frustrating! First Attempt: The Evolution Sequence... This was part of a larger video (which I edited out because if it's insignificance) and this sequence was the first scene in that v...

The Funeral in the Savanna

The Funeral in the Savanna An Experiment/Exercise Some of you are excellent writers and even better story-tellers. This piece was a random thought and really didn't have any story or so then, but now that I look at it, it does seem to be a scene frozen from a much bigger plot. So I propose lets make a story about or around this man wearing a hat standing with a flower in front of the gravestone under the small acacia like tree... It can be a love story, a quirky fantasy, a horror, a sci-fi anecdote, a poem even! anything, only constrain being it should include the above imagery, somehow! I think this can be very interesting! comment or inbox to extradimensionalp@gmail.com  or pranav@dimensionslost.com    I shall compile them and update them below! — Updates — Jaya Jain He turned around and drove away With a small baby girl He vowed to never return To the city, that had robbed him of her And had left nothing To the city who had fa...

I have a white board in my room, on it I think whatever I don't already in my head. It is a canvas to countless mathematical equations and obscene lyrical compositions !

"But, Lenore!" "You can kiss her ~ in HELL!" "The Raven", It's one of those pieces of literature that create an atmosphere without you having to imagine much, at least that's what i felt about it - creepy !  Being very sincere about it, I really don't like or enjoy or appreciate much of poetry but some poems just strum that romantic chord of emotions filling you with co-ordinates to every vantage point, each pointing to nothing but awe! For those who are unaware of Alan Edgar Poe's hauntingly eerie poem "The Raven" here it is: THE RAVEN. Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore — While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “ ’Tis some visiter,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door — Only this and nothing more.” Ah, distinctly I remember...

Yoda

Image
"No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try." Easily one of the most memorable characters from the Star Wars Franchise, Yoda, has that charm in his front backwards jumbled remarks as he has the strengths of a great ( scarily agile and skilled ) warrior! Also, the least hypocritical zen/teacher character I've come across in life or in fiction! So, we are going to having a bunch of Star Wars sequels now, directed by J.J. Abrams,   AwwwYeah ! Personally, I'm happy about this ( Yes I am! I'd love to see more of the galaxy far away that was long long time ago! So screw you haters . ), but I'm worried about them Star Trek and Star Wars fans, now they'll have both have something common! Finally shall there be geek peace? Maybe! My favorite Jedi! Going to  take a break, I am now ! It's  study time ! May the force be with you! Made using markers on paper and colored on Photoshop!
