Pattachitra: Ancient Scrolls Reimagined
Motion designer Jishnu Chatterjee partnered with fourth-generation Pattachitra master Sachikanta Sahoo in Raghurajpur village, Odisha. The film captures how centuries-old scroll art known for intricate detailing, ornate lines, and mythological narratives translates into immersive digital visuals through AI-assisted modeling, high-fidelity texturing, and cinematic animation while retaining authenticity and emotional depth.
Kaavad: Living Stories From Wooden Panels
In Rajasthan, 3D/AI artist TooSid collaborated with renowned Kaavad performer Akshay Gandhi to transform the state’s iconic storytelling tradition. Using Yoga 9i Aura Edition capabilities, unfolding wooden panels, miniature scenes, and oral narratives became dynamic animated sequences preserving tradition’s soul while offering fresh expression for contemporary audiences.
Carpet Art: Kashmiri Threads Come Alive
AI artist Varun Gupta worked with Ali Shah Crafts master craftsmen to reinterpret Kashmir’s intricate carpet motifs—chinars, vines, paisleys, floral borders, birds, and Laila-Majnu folk characters—through AI-powered modeling and motion animation. Traditional static carpets transformed into richly detailed flowing visual worlds preserving precision, symbolism, and handcrafted textures.
