Taare Zameen Par was probably one of the best films of 2007. Aamir’s directorial debut came with bright and vibrant colors and a unique method of animation in Bollywood. TZP crossed all levels of expectations; the film was distinctive in each and every way.
Most of you who saw the film will remember the clay animation used for the opening credits of the film. Dhimant Vyas is the man who added that extra oomph to the film with his clay animation. He had earlier created the caricatures for the Lagaan DVD; hence, Aamir approached Vyas to create animation for TZP.
Dhimant Vyas is the first animator to use Clay animation in a Bollywood live-action feature film. It is a craft with a human touch. It tugs at the audience’s heartstrings. It works well with the main film as the scenes depict Ishaan, the main protagonist’s imagination hence the transitions have smooth scenes and convey the dream-like quality. Transitions like morphs, camera moves, elements appearing and disappearing, and one element dragging one to anther scene is used so there is not cut till the end.
