'Big Bang Bazaar' was a show born in an animation production module, where our class was divided into two 'studios', with each given 3 weeks to come out with a series pitch for an Indian OTT platform.

The show follows Kunal, a passionate telemarketer with an unfortunate stammer, as he is commissioned by a mysterious entity to advertise ever-stranger products on his telemarketing show. Otherwise timid Kunal becomes a vibrant force of marketing energy as soon as he's on camera, though his talents are yet to find the audience they deserve. The rest of the central cast includes his cousin-and-intern Twinkle, and his grandmother 'Dadi' in whose home he's set up his filming studio.

My contributions to the project included character designs for the final pitch deck, as well as some treatment illustrations for key moments. My teammates created environments, props, and posters, while we all worked together on the loglines, script sample, and budget proposal.

Many palettes were explored before settling on the final treatment, which includes textures in each character's clothing.

A few style tests for key beats from the show:
