A DeepThought42 Production...


Last few months have been a bit busy. I admit there was still time to write for the blog, but there was no motivation. Making up for the lack of posts on this blog, here is a short film my friends and I just made for Metamorphosis(The Annual movie-making Competition in BITS). Have a look ... :)

About pathetic rooms and 7-Star views

Yesterday was brilliant. After living in a civilised manner for the past two months or so, going back to a hostel was brilliant. I had to meet a few friends from Indore who study in IIT mumbai. It was decided that I visit them on their campus , spend the night there and early morning we leave for marine drive to witness its much acclaimed sunrise. I whole hearted-ly agreed to this plan because well I was low on movies/ t.v series and a fully active DC is hard to ignore. 

IIT Bombay has terrible rooms. That delighted me, because they are much better back at BITS and that "I-always-wanted-to-be-here-but-ended-up-in-pilani" feeling quite definitely changes to, "Thank-God-I-am-in-Pilani" (yes, there were many other such moments last year, still)

Nevertheless, people there were quite chilled out. They offered me free food, so yes they were good. We went to hiranandani for dinner, which is pretty good too. It has this very western-country feel to it, besides we ate at dominoes; it is always a good experience. 

As it turned out, pathetic hostels were only for first and second yearites. Hostel-13, which was inhabited by third/fourth yearites( and a constant stink of cigarette smoke) has a brilliant terrace which has a lake-view(Doesn't sound that impressive? The same view is shared by a seven star hotel). We enjoyed the 7 star view re-collecting coaching time jokes. Yes, those two years were hell, but i realised it then, they are probably the only two years in my school life that I will never forget.  

Epiphanies and realisations were followed by some random movie and a lot of bakar. By the time all this ended, it was already 5, if we wanted to see the sunrise, we had to leave by this time. Discussing on the way if we would ever see sunrise on marine drive since it is the western coast(and sun rises from the east), we finally reached marine drive, half hoping we haven't missed it. We did. Nevertheless we did spot a t.v celeb. and if you are still wondering if you could see the sunrise at Marine drive, here is a pic clicked by some body who was not as unlucky as us.
The tall building on the left is actually a hotel and this thing used to rotate a long time back



and we spotted her:
She walks VERY fast

This is the 7 star view I was talking about.

Urban dictionary

Kao

I am reading "Manga for Dummies". So far it taught me how to make the faces.

Forgive the low quality of the pictures, my phone camera is not that good.

As always, suggestions invited. :)

Photoshopped # 2


Second attempt: The Smoke effect
        Considered to be very basic. Indeed very easy. 
1.Draw a white line using the paintbrush
2.Smudge it.
3. Use the liquify tool to give the desired shape
4. Thats pretty much done. Go to Dafonts for a cool font. 15 mins work. But still gives a nice effect. 
5. Additionally, you can colour it also.
