Speaking at Pecha Kucha Night Hyderabad Vol. 8

I was recently invited as a speaker at Pecha Kucha Night Hyderabad Vol. 8, held at Lamakaan on March 31, 2012.

Pecha Kucha Nights are informal events organised in over 500 cities across the world, where creative people get together and share their ideas, works, thoughts, holiday snaps - just about anything really. Presentations are made in the PechaKucha 20x20 format - 20 images x 20 seconds.


In my presentation, 'Know Tools, Create Better', I used examples of my drawings, photos, digital art, animated shorts and Doom levels to highlight the role of software tools in my creative process, and why I think every artist should learn them.

This was my first talk ever at a public forum, and it was a lot of fun! The official video of my presentation is now up on YouTube:


Hope you like it!

On a related note, my brother Karthik spoke at PKN Hyderabad Vol. 6. You can watch his presentation here: 'My Movie Fan Artwork'. And on an unrelated note, my Engineering college had its Decennial Day Celebrations on the same day as this event, 31-Mar-2012. Congratulations CVR!

The Great Below

As promised in my previous post, here are those photos I took at the Hyderabad International Airport and the widescreen wallpapers I made from photos I took from the plane —

And yeah, the video I posted of the airport isn't great, but it sure is popular!

Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad

Karthik and myself were at Chennai last weekend, and our return flight landed at the newly opened Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Shamshabad, Hyderabad.

I filmed a couple of clips on arrival at the airport, and yesterday I edited them together into this short video —



The background music is a track from NIN's latest album, Ghosts; I don't know if it really suits the video, but I couldn't find anything better to use. All clips were filmed with my digicam (hence the crappy video quality), between 2:30am - 3:00am. I also took some photos at the airport and made some wallpapers out images I took from the plane, but all that reserved for another post.
