    Hi Dhimant,

    Your style of stop motion ..is different and Innovative, Since I was amused when I saw this on screen that someone from pixsar or wall disney guy must have done it . But he turn out to be Indian Guy. Simlply great.
    I am also doing clay animation so I know what efforts it takes to create this aniamtion.
    Go onnnn…
