NEW INITIATIVE for the future and what's in store for you.

Animation is an arduous process with thousands of hours soaked into a single minute of animation. A final piece of animation, therefore, often does not do justice to the collective efforts gone into creating it, no matter how beautiful the end product is. This book is first in our intiatives to bring this magical and multilayered process closer to the audience, so they can enjoy it even more.

The book will contain everything from final artworks to initial scribbles and sketchy notes that helped in the final animation. It will also take you through the design process and creative decision making on a project like this.

The book is still in progress, in digital form. So if anyone can help us out with print and publishing, that'll be amazing! You can reach out via DM or email us at [email protected] /[email protected]
OR simply comment below and we'll reach out to you. BIG THANKS in advance!

A huge amount of research, time and effort has gone into this project. And it is so rewarding to see the results. The response from all of you has been absolutely amazing!!
Let us know in the comments if you would like to see more artworks from the film, BTS shots or process videos. Do subscribe to TotemPlay Youtube channel. It will be a big boost for us in making more of these. We'll be posting a bunch of process videos there too, in coming days.

Look out for another SUPER EXCITING update tomorrow!!

Myth of MAYA ~

In Hindu culture the word often refers to the illusion of the materialistic world.

Maya is also believed to be a Goddess of illusion. Her beauty was so enchanting, even the gods couldn’t break her spell.
The gods feared her so much that they trapped her and locked her away. It is believed to be her beauty that is embedded in the universe in the form of ‘Rasa’ or Pleasure, forever calling to Life.
