 "We
have marked a budget of Rs 300,000-Rs 350,000 for one episode. The
cell animation series, which is about three ants, has won various
awards in the international festivals including the Cairo International
Film Festival this year. Besides India, the series will also be marketed
in the international market,” says Leoarts’ director Vinay
Rai, who didn't specify the timeframe for the screening of the animation
series.
The production house, which conducts workshops on animation in
various schools in Delhi, involved kids in scripting and the screenplay
of Neelu Peelu Dheelu.
“We teach kids basics about animation and accordingly encourage
them to work on story ideas. In a way, kids are directly involved
in our series as we associate them to our series,” points out
Rai, who hasn’t finalised the number of episodes for new series.
Leoarts’ had earlier worked on two animation series, Taana
Baana Zindagi Ka and Be practical yaar, aired on Doordarshan.
“I focused on two universal themes - career and love in Be
practical yaar. Taana Baana Zindagi Ka is about the lives
of Indian families, mainly dwelling in the rural areas,” adds
Rai.
Leoarts’ latest movie Kashish, a 32-minute on the lives
of two lesbian women, is currently being screened in the Indo-British
digital film festival at the British Council in the capital city.
