Wheel Of Cheese

Here's an animation I recently did. This is a culmination of 3 weeks of hard work - from planning to rendering. I'll be posting a shot-progress video soon. Let me know what you think and feel free to leave a comment / critique if you have one.



Thanks for watching!
Welcome to Sushant Dholakia's blog, this is where I'll be posting personal and professional updates and animation related stuff.

I am currently working as an Animation Supervisor at March Entertainment. It's been an amazing 3 years where I've met some super talented artists and made great friends.

We recently finished working on a TV series called Mia and Me. It has done really well at Mipcom and with broadcasters from around the world. The Mipcom is a yearly event in Cannes where studios and companies bring out their biggest and brightest ideas. At the kid targeted MipJunior, Mia and Me stood out as a clear winner as the most requested and most screened show. Here's the link - http://www.mia-and-me.tv/
Do check it out when it airs in your country. We are currently working on two DVD features at March Ent - 'Dex Hamilton' and 'Tossed in Space'.

More updates to come soon! Have a great day. :)
