AN INTERVIEW WITH Sushant Dholakia Q. Your animation film ‘Lolly Poo Lee’ has been selected for the TELETOON Canadian Student Animation Scholarship ‘06 and is going to be screened at the Ottawa Internation Animation Festival in the ‘Most Promising Student Category’. So how do you feel and what’s the future plans? I don’t think there is more joy to life than to see your hard work pay off. Ottawa International Animation Festival is providing me the platform to showcase my film to the CG community. What a great opportunity to share all that work with people! I wanted to send my film to other film festivals too, but my new work is keeping me too busy. Hopefully after September, when I am done with this project, I shall be able to send it to other festivals. Q. From where you get the idea of creating a ‘Lolly Poo Lee’ and how much drawing skills is essential for any 3d artists? Lolly Poo Lee is based on a poem by Bruce Burrow. Many students have benefited from the huge reservoir of his poems. Even though my film is based on his poem, what’s actually happening in the film differs from the actual narration. This was done to add twist and gags to the whole short.
