Making of a Hollywood animation blockbuster with Indian Management Expertise  and 'Bootleg Sweat Shop Boys" from Bangladesh

What's the formula to make an International blockbuster film with zero capital in your pocket? It all starts in a downtown L.A. bar where a typical yankee broker meets his producer. The latter has got a script which he has bought with a 10 percent upfront payment to a well known writer. The broker looks at the script and promises to get 28 percent cash equity which is all that is required to do actual sweat production of the film. The pre-production is being done at home, the post has been bartered, and pre-distribution of international sales is already on the cards. Also a tax rebate as it is an animation film has been procured.

You have done it! Got the diploma and are a Filmmaker, Animator or a VFX specialist. What next? How do I get that job where experience is the word asked before my CV is shortlisted? How should I get my skills learnt at film, animation, VFX schools make a living for me?

Ok you choose to be an intern, or take up any job which comes your way to fill the gap. At the same time start using your newly acquired skills as a free lancer and you are on the road to experience.

A decade ago I was asked to produce 2d animation films for a US producer which were to be published on Discovery's online education video channel called www.unitedstreaming.com. They required animation in flash, but it should not be jerky- at that time flash was still not perfect. We created the animation in “After Effects" and exported broadcast quality files which got the client's approval. I gathered a team of 15 multimedia freelancers and within six months we had delivered sixteen films-70 minutes each on "phonetics" which are today broadcasted by the channel to all North American Schools.
