Khoda Pahad Nikli Chuhiya
This classroom project introduced me to the world of animation. For this assignment, I crafted a story based on the phrase 'Khoda Pahad Nikli Chuhiya,' which signifies making a fuss over a trivial matter. The journey began with concept development and scriptwriting, where I finalized the characters. Afterward, I visualized and conceptualized the characters and transitioned into the digitalization phase. The entire story was then sketched, and storyboards were digitized, culminating in the creation of a print-ready storybook.

The Story
In a cozy Anthill, there resided a close-knit gang of ants who shared their lives and adventures. One day, hunger gnawed at their tiny stomachs, and they realized their Anthill's food stores had dwindled to nothing. With determination in their hearts, they set out on a quest for sustenance.
Their tiny legs carried them to a nearby house, where they scoured every nook and cranny in search of food. Sadly, they found an empty cup, and disappointment weighed heavy on their leader's heart as he stood by the table.
Suddenly, a crisis unfolded as one alert ant spotted a looming shoe hurtling towards them. Panic ensued, and they dashed to the bedroom. There, their hungry eyes beheld a plate bearing a solitary Gulab Jamun. Their joy knew no bounds, and they danced with delight.
But just as they were about to claim their long-awaited prize, a giant hand swooped in. A baby had arrived, snatching the delectable treat and savoring it with glee. Disappointment weighed heavily on one ant, and it turned back for home, realizing that their grand adventure had ended in a classic case of 'Khoda Pahad Nikli Chuhiya,' where despite their hard work, they were left with nothing.
