Director Statement

It's a 3D animated short film.

Mother gives birth to a child, and saves her child at the risk of her life for as long as she can. And The child loves the mother and does not want to lose. But according to the laws of nature, the mother may have to leave the world before the child. The mother's memory makes the child cry. Then a new generation arrived. The new lining is spread over the old memories. In this way, the space is filled with the arrival of the new. This birth, death, and relationship are responsible for all the shades and equations in the world. And, this birth, death, and relationship inspired us to make something. As It's a very deep, complex, and infinite subject, so we just try to represent specific relationships in a constant and balanced way.

But sometimes relationships are not strong. bonding is declining. That is why there is a lot of chaos, and unbalanced situation creates. To keep the world balanced and peaceful relationships should run in a slightly natural and balanced way.

This film is all about the interdependence of mother and child, which has been going on for centuries. The story goes through emotions, caring, Interdependence, crisis, climax, falling action, etc. In this film, the mother protects the child, later when the mother grows old the child takes care of her. And one day mother dies. Gradually the existence of the dead is erased from the earth one day. But The new generation begins again and a constant system of nature is created.

The overall rhythm of the film is carefully crafted with a soft, honest, natural relationship which is important to keep the world balanced.

The film uses silence to invite viewers into a deeper understanding. Silence also teaches us to be more cognizant of the sounds we do make.

Here we used the theme of the tree. Because- this film is all about life (birth, death, relationship) and trees are used to represent life and growth in mythologies, legends, and novels, and trees are considered representative of pure, natural, and balanced life, wisdom, power, and prosperity.

In the whole short, we focus on the main character, and here very few environmental elements are used to make sure that- just ignore the surroundings and focus to be balanced.

The color of this film varies with emotions. The main color is green, which is the color of life, renewal, nature, and energy and is associated with meanings of growth, harmony, freshness, safety, fertility, and environment. In one part of this film, black and white colors are used to represent life and death rituals.

So, the overall presentation of this film walked in a natural way.

IMPLEMENTATION

There are some sections to successfully doing this film. Animation production requires the design of various auxiliary tools, art skills, and mathematics foundation of personnel. And traditional animation techniques give birth to modern animation production. Although animation production and playing utilize mainly computer tools and operation technologies, many principles are the same.

PLOT SELECTION

Plot refers to the main events in a story composed of a connected sequence of events. For the short film NIRONTOR, there are several steps selected for plotting given below-

SCRIPTWRITING & ROUGH SKETCHING

Screenwriting or scriptwriting is the art and craft of writing scripts. The purpose of scriptwriting is to create the main concept of your video production in written form. It provides a predetermined look at what will be said and what scenes will be shot to match the overall message you’re trying to portray.

Rough is a common name in an animation movie for a drawing that is used as a reference but which does not form part of the final image. The layout is rough.

 A rough sketch is a simple drawing. However, it is easier to turn a rough drawing into a line drawing if it is drawn to some extent, so I draw to some extent in detail. The level of detail is different for everyone, so try to find the level of detail that suits you best.

PAINTING PHOTOSHOP AND ILLUSTRATOR

Painting and coloring are needed in some cases to complete the project, it’s a graphical representation to beautify the film graphics.

MODELING

Model animation is a form of stop-motion animation designed to merge with live-action footage to create the illusion of a real-world fantasy sequence.

The 3D modeling process produces a digital object capable of being fully animated, making it an essential process for character animation and special effects. The core of a model is the mesh which is best described as a collection of points in space.

TEXTURING

Texturing is the next phase involved while creating an animation. It includes creating a texture from the base, editing an existing texture for reuse, etc. comes in this phase of animation. Texturing is the phase where the background is made to resemble the background of the real world.

RESULTS AND EVALUATIONS

Here are the pictures of some movie screenplays. There are mainly four parts of NIRONTOR.

The very first part (born new baby and emotional play) is given in the first five pictures-

Then the next five pictures are taken from the crisis section of the film ( when rain, storm and thunder occur). Here, mom protects her baby.

Then, after the storm, the mom was injured, but she saved her child. The child played with the mom with an emotional vibe.

At last, the mom gets old and become sick. Then the child takes care of mom and here some emotional scene is created. At last mom dead and the child’s tears flowed in the rain.
