    MUMBAI: Nippon Paint Private Limited, Asia’s leading paint manufacturer, was recently recognized as the ‘Brand of the Year’ by Realty Plus’ INEX (Interior-Exterior) Awards 2020. The award was conferred upon the company for its latest breakthrough product ‘Durafresh Solo’, in a glittering ceremony held recently at the Taj Mumbai. The ceremony was attended by renowned names in the Real Estate Industry.

    Nippon Paint received the award based on various key parameters like brand excellence, engagement, high customer satisfaction, reputed, and an overall commitment to innovation in the decorative paint sector. Leading brands in the country were considered for the award and Nippon Paint’s ‘Durafresh Solo’ was key in securing the honor for having made a mark in a competitive environment.

This is a strong reflection of the trust that our customers have bestowed on us throughout our journey in the Indian market.

    In Memoriam: Arnab Chaudhuri

    While there was an immediate sense of shock and sadness throughout the industry, soon people from across the world started sharing their condolences while reminiscing the good times that they have spent working or collaborating with the Arjun director and how he inspired so many of them.

  • The long-forgotten Stop Motion Animations and Non-Verbal Animations are back

    The long-forgotten Stop Motion Animations and Non-Verbal Animations are back

    MUMBAI: One Take Media Co. has always believed in creating a diverse content library. Right from Hollywood Movies to Animated Content, from regional content to international content. Covering almost 24 genres, how could have they left the Nonverbal and StopMotion content behind.

    The world is extremely diverse. We have hundreds of languages spoken and cultures followed. People are entirely different from each other. But the one thing which remains common in all of us is EMOTIONS. We can be of nationality, culture or community but emotions are the one thing which unites us all. And that is exactly what Non-verbal contents are pitching for.

    We all remember the classic and all the time favourite Tom and Jerry Cartoon Shows. There was no language used but only expressions and yet it touched millions of hearts around the globe. That is the power of Non-Verbal Communication.

    The Beet Party is one such example in the nonverbal category. The Beet Partyis about the Five of the coolest Beetroots in town. They are chilling in the fridge when something new and unexpected arrives on their shelf. It is a series of 104 episodes of 2 minutes each.  It takes only seconds to bring a smile on someone’s face.

    Apart from Non-Verbal Content, OTMC also has a wide library of Stop Motion Animations.

    Stop Motion Animation is a technique used in animation to bring static objects to life on screen. This is done by moving the object in increments while filming a frame per increment. When all the frames are played in sequence it shows movement.Stop motion animation is almost as old as film itself.And not to be mistaken, Stop Motion is no less expensive than any Computer based animation. In fact it is more expensive than 3D CG.  It requires a lot of time, money, hard work and patience to finally craft out a piece of perfect art.

    OTMC is proud to announce its fun filled Stop Motion Animation Series Pat and Mat.

    Pat and Mat (Season 1 & 2) is about two friends facing self-made problems where they try to solve them by using anything impossible and possible and their solutions lead to more problems, at the end the "problem" is fixed and they finish off with their distinctive handshake.

    It might sound simple but it guarantees a lot of fun and laughter for everyone.

    Mr. Anil Khera, Founder and CEO of One Take Media Co. says, “Honestly Pat and Mat and The Beet Party are one of my favorites Animations. It takes less of my time and refreshes me to the core. We feel it is a real talent to engage people of all the age groups and also make them happy at the same time without even uttering a word. It is our fondness in such content that gives usthe confidence in believing that this content of ours is definitely a block buster and game changer.”
     

  • “The indian animation industry has lost a true legend”: industry mourns the death of Arnab Chaudhuri

    “The indian animation industry has lost a true legend”: industry mourns the death of Arnab Chaudhuri

    Artist, director and industry veteran Arnab Chaudhuri passed away on 25 December in Kolkata. He was noted in the animation industry for his feature film with UTV in 2012 titled Arjun: The Warrior Prince.

    As soon as the news came, the industry started mourning the death of a fellow colleague.

    Says Punnaryug Artvision founder Ashish Kulkarni, “Arnab Choudhury was such a gentle man. The Indian animation industry has lost a true legend. What an animation direction in  “Arjun: The Warrior Prince” animated movie. We were just together at Kochi Design Week 10 days ago. We were on a panel  discussion which I had an opportunity to moderate. Just difficult to even imagine that 10 to 12 days ago he was perfectly fine and was  moving around with a camera taking pictures. We had lunch and breakfast together and discussed a lot of great initiatives for AVGC sector. He even jokingly asked me what is the full form of AVGC. Such a humble, highly respected and creative person, who brought pride to India in many ways by creating world class animation. I am finding it extremely difficult to even believe that Arnab is not with us anymore. May is soul rest in peace. He will always be remembered for his creativity, attitude and pleasant personality.”

    With more than two decades of experience in the fields of television, animation and creative design, Chaudhuri had worked with major organisations like Turner, Walt Disney and Channel V.

    “This is really shocking, I still can’t believe it. I knew Arnab so well – such a decent, gracious person, so hardworking and so passionate about animation. This truly is a great loss. He had many more wonderful films yet to make – most unfortunate that we will never see those. I will miss him.” said Paperboat Animation co-founder and chairman Soumitra Ranade.

    Toonz Media CEO P. Jayakumar also reminisced on how he met Chaudhuri just a week back at Kochi Design Summit, where he was the keynote speaker, and how he was one of the well wishers of the studio and the industry. He also said that the Arjun director had collaborated with them on various projects and even gave numerous masterclasses to their artists. “This is a severe loss to the industry. It is very shocking” concludes Jayakumar.

    Expressing his heartfelt grief over the loss, Technicolor India head Biren Ghose mournfully shared: “I was extremely sorry to hear about the loss of the very talented Director Arnab Chaudhuri. He was a valued and amazingly talented member of the animation and film fraternity in India. Only the good die young. He took great pains to change the “local animation” paradigm having labored over a full-length animated feature at a time when there were hardly any local projects of that size and scale. The film is “Arjun”. This brilliant passion project set a new bar in our country. The manner in which he went about preparing and pre visualizing every aspect of the “look and feel” and “art direction” in this genre was pioneering.”

    Speaking about how he felt at the screening of Chaudhari’s movie in Annecy, he added, “It was a very proud moment for me to attend the screening of this movie in Annecy – “The Mecca for animation competitions” and I recall that the global audience truly appreciated and applauded his work. I will never forget the pride we all felt as Indian compatriots at the standing applause the film received. I hope he will rest in peace and I know that he will set about working on his next story and delight all those even in the world beyond….one day we will all get to see that as well. In sorrow for his loss, in happiness that we knew him and in appreciation for his legacy in storytelling. A heartfelt salute.”

    Even noted independent artists from the industry shared their thoughts, “I met him for the first time two weeks ago after hearing about him for decades …and we spent hours talking about art, stories and philosophy, and we spoke about our future projects and life goals with such excitement. Such a gem of an experience . He will be greatly missed.” said Vaanarsena Studios senapati Vivek Ram.

    The loss of a veteran from the country’s animation industry will surely be felt throughout.

    “A sad moment in Indian animation today. I met Arnab when he was heading Disney channel. His film Arjun was one of the first few animation films in India that actually didn’t target only kids. His efforts n the style of work will always be admired by coming generations for sure. Rest in peace”. shares Vaibhav More Films founder Vaibhav More.

    The Economic Contribution of Film and Television in China in 2018 report also found that the sector supported a total of 4.7 million jobs, and contributed a total of USD 21.7 billion (RMB 142.6 billion yuan) in tax revenue. Of particular interest, the report found that 41 percent of the total box office revenue was earned in tier 3-5 cities, indicating continued cinema attendance growth across the country.

According to historical theatrical box office data, the Chinese market was just USD 116 million in 1999. The market has since achieved phenomenal growth in those twenty years to reach a staggering USD 9 billion in 2018.

    The period witnessed China’s accession to the WTO in 2001 and expanded engagement between the U.S. and China film industries which included a range of MPA Asia Pacific outreach activities involving knowledge exchange programs, film workshops and masterclasses, screenings and forums.

    On November 9, at the Golden Screen Awards in Los Angeles, in acknowledgement of the immense contribution made to the advancement of the relationship between the U.S. and Chinese screen industries over the last twenty one years, Mike Ellis, President and Managing Director, Asia Pacific, MPA was presented with the “Outstanding Contribution and Leadership Award”.

For all these years, to me and so many in the industry, Mike Ellis has been not only a dear friend and a colleague, but also a great supporter and advocate for filmed entertainment companies operating in China.”

    Accepting the Award, Mike Ellis said, “It’s an honour to receive this award from someone for whom I respect so much as a filmmaker, a human being and a friend. When I look back at the last twenty-one years heading up the MPA Asia Pacific, the work and the friends that I have made in China have been something that I will truly cherish. I think that collectively, together, we have already made a big difference, though there is much more work to do. However rest assured that this Award will spur me on to do great work with all of you and to help in any way I can.”
