Title Sequence for Mrs. Deshpande (@jiohotstar Series)
Starring @madhuridixitnene , Mrs. Deshpande follows a convicted serial killer who assists the police in tracking down a copycat murderer who uses the same green rope as the murder weapon. This series was directed by @nageshkukunoor and produced by @applausesocial .
For the title sequence, the idea was to place the viewer in the final moments of the victim. An endless length of green rope weaves through a void, slowly forming shapes that resemble hands, feet, and eventually a face. The rope finally reveals the face of the killer herself, Mrs. Deshpande, the last thing the victim sees before everything fades out.
The entire sequence exists in an abstract limbo space, somewhere between life and death, giving the visuals a dreamlike, almost fever-dream quality.
Creating the rope animation and sculptural forms required a mix of different CG techniques, along with careful simulation and compositing work. We also shot a live-action plate of the incredible Madhuri Dixit specifically for the title sequence, which was a rare and very exciting opportunity for us.

Title Sequence for The Railway Men (@netflix_in Original Series)
This original show is based on the tragic true events of the most fatal industrial accident in the world, the Bhopal gas tragedy.
@chandparaaa and I @_karanworkjari were responsible for complete 3D development and execution on this project. Firstly we had to make sure we captured the essence of ground zero and the exact moment which led to this gas leak. The scenes and assets were made to push hyper realistic look so we don’t move too away from the show itself. The scenes were made in Cinema 4D rendered in Octane.
The show demanded something extremely hyper real and that’s what we set out to do. It was a lot of fun to figure out how to distill the tension and drama of this intense series into such a small amount of time.
Huge thanks to @shivrawail , for having faith in our vision and supporting us throughout the creative process. This was our first collaboration with @yrf and we absolutely loved it!

Title Sequence for Lootere (@disneyplushotstar Original Series)
Off the coast of Somalia, when the passengers of an ill-fated ship are taken hostage by pirates, an unlikely hero must step forward to save them all. Directed by @jaihmehta , along with @hansalmehta as the showrunner, this gripping series unfolds in a country on the brink of a civil war.
The show demanded something colourful and high on energy. It was a lot of fun to figure out how to embody the rich cultural aspects of Somalia along with the high-octane action that can be expected from the series. We combined 3D animation with some experimental Compositing techniques to create this look. The distinct colour palette is meant to set the tone for the series set in a foreign land.

A new addition to the Pieceful Collection.
By day @chandparaaa crafts visual effects for TV and movies, by (late) night he puts together whacky, wild realities through his art. This piece by Ansh is a vibrant, macro focus on an object of pure, simple joy: the classic gumball machine.

Album Art for Drive-in Cinema 2.1 by @skrrtt.skrrrt and @raslagram_ .
The idea was to get a feel of years worth of fan posters weathered in a way to form the faces of album nirmatas. Loads of iterations later @skrrtt.skrrrt and I arrived at the final artwork of which some are here.
Super happy i got to apply the classic @texturelabs technique to blend layers and get a procedural system going in photoshop.
Process comin soon.

45,000 fans sang as one with A. R. Rahman, and every visual carried the responsibility of honoring that experience.
Each song had its own identity, and the visuals were designed to reflect that, whether by drawing from the story the song told, the visual language of its music video, or creating a sense of familiarity that deepened the audience’s connection.
At the center of it all was A. R. Rahman. This was not just another show for him. He spent countless hours with us from the inception of this new concept called Wonderment, collaborating on every aspect of the creative process.
It was a privilege to also work with Rodney and Riyas at Fairgame, whose positivity, and expertise anchored so much of the process. To Ashwwin, who not only led as project director but also co-developed this IP from the ground up. I saw him hold it all together with clarity and persistence, pushing this dream into reality.
To Percept Live and Harry, thank you for the trust. To Jo Entertainment, thank you for backing this vision.
Working alongside Shiamak and his incredible team has always been a joy. Much of his work you never see in my videos, because the focus is on the screen content, but his impact on stage is undeniable.
Also grateful to Aradhana, Sonali G., Ayush, and Nikita. Each of them brought their own strengths and perspectives, and it was an absolute privilege to collaborate with such talented professionals.
A special mention for Sanchit, who ran these visuals. To Harold, the magician of light, what you did to extend the visuals beyond the LED was remarkable. To Jay, Ashish, Pawan, and the entire team at Star Dimensions and Ideation, thank you. And to Warren, someone I have known for a long time and truly one of the finest in sound, it was an honor to share the same stage with you.
And finally, my Hueman Creative family, who made this vision real. I could not have asked for more.

Episode Slates for Manorathangal (Mindscapes) (@zee5 Anthology Series)
We created 8 unique Episode Slates that came at the end of the Main Title Sequence that give a glimpse of the story that is about to unfold. Swipe to see them all!
Based on the stories of legendary author MT Vasudevan Nair, Manorathangal is an anthology series that brings together nine evocative tales, each digging deep into the complex landscape of human emotions. These stories don’t spell everything out for you — instead, they leave you with lingering thoughts, much like his novels do. You feel it long after it’s over.
For the title sequence, we wanted to evoke that feeling of holding one of MT’s books — the kind that’s been sitting on your family’s shelf for years, with yellowed pages and faintly dog-eared corners. That sense of nostalgia and familiarity was key.
We crafted paper-textured 3D motifs inspired by each story, arranging them like chapter headings in an open book. The idea was to make it feel like you’re flipping through pages — each one leading you to another world of layered emotions, contradictions, and unspoken truths.
