Award-winning fourteen-minute CG-animated film, now being developed as a feature film, was created in Autodesk Maya and Adobe CC and rendered in GPU renderer Redshift.
Ishan Shukla's 'Schirkoa.'
Schirkoa, a gorgeously designed and expertly animated 14-minute CG short by India-based writer and director Ishan Shukla, is now available on Vimeo. Set in a dystopian city, the short features “bagheads and other unimportant creatures,” according to the director, who back in 2016, shared with AWN a number of revealing WIP video as well as details of the production he’d been working on in his spare time since 2010. Funded with Shukla’s personal savings, Schirkoa was created in Autodesk Maya and Adobe CC, and rendered in the GPU renderer Redshift.
Shukla tells AWN that development of the feature, reported last year by AWN, is moving ahead slowly but surely. The director had previously shard that he’d entered into an agreement to develop the feature with Singapore-based global content development and distribution company 108 Media, along with Aurora Media Holdings, one of Southeast Asia’s leading media and entertainment asset incubation, investment, and management entities.
