Menstruation is a natural, physiological process. Numerous rules and restrictions have been thrust upon girls while they go through this monthly phenomenon. Some of these made sense in the past but they might be irrelevant in this modern age. Instead of accepting all of it without question, the females should thoughtfully analyze each restriction or rule and find out which ise valid today and discard the rest.
To come to such a decision, discussion is the key.
“Keh Sakte Hain Hum” an animated short film on menstruation is intended towards the objective of realizing the need to speak about menstruation.
The objective of this research project was to study and understand the Indian miniature painting as an exploration for an animation style for a narrative set in a similar period. These paintings content the royal grandeur of rulers, their court pursuits and pleasure, celebration and social delicacy with intricate details and vivid color. Each painting has its own world of fantasy. So, a glimpse and pertinent observation is needed to arrive at a working method for animation.
As a deliverable of this project, a short animation was made in accordance to the already existing and selected Indian miniature painting.
