Aishanya and Dhruvika mesmerise the audience with their live performance of the duet Arangetram at Triveni Kala Sangam

New Delhi: Indian classical dancers – Aishanya Mathur and Dhruvika Chaudhary – mesmerised the audience with their graceful duet Arangetram performance held at the Triveni Kala Sangham in New Delhi on August 28.

For those unaware, “Arangetram” is the Tamil word for “ascending the stage” by a dancer upon completing their training. It is the first time a student of Indian classical dance and music has performed publicly after extensive training. This achievement qualifies the dancer to perform classical dance professionally and instruct others.

Aishanya and Dhruvika, born on the same day, share an exceptional bond and have been learning this art form together for the last 12 years under the guidance of their teacher Dr. Indira Murugesan of Gandharva Mahavidyalaya. The duo started their training in Bharatnatyam from the tender age of 4, and have been working tirelessly to improve their skills in this art form.

Both Aishanya and Dhruvika have had the privilege of representing India in the International folklore Gala organised in seven cities across Italy. They were also part of the contingent of several classical dancers who performed at the World Cultural festival in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which is recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Nitin Mathur, the father of Aishanya, said, “It was a proud moment for us when she was performing live on the stage. She has completed her Madhyama Pratham and studying in 11th standard. Her interest in Bharatnatyam started when she was just 4 years old.”

Sunaina Chaudhary, the mother of Dhruvika, said, “Both the girls mesmerised the audience with their scintillating performance of Arangetram. She has worked hard for the last 12 years to achieve success and completed her Madhyamapoorna (diploma) in Bharatnatyam.”

Media.Monks India wins Autodesk Imagine award for innovations in the Virtual Production space

India, August 29, 2022:Media.Monks India’s pursuit to merge creative and technology was applauded at the Autodesk Imagine awards where it was recognised for the innovative use of technology to drive forward Virtual Production.

Autodesk Imagine Awards recognize exceptional contributions to innovation, spanning the fields of architecture, engineering and construction, product design and manufacturing, and media and entertainment.

The winning entry focused on Media.Monks India’s maiden venture into changing the landscape of traditional shoots by using 3D environments, culminating in the first-of-its-kind Virtual Production studio.

Robert Godinho, Managing Director, Media.Monks India, comments, “Virtual Production is a brand’s best friend and this accolade is a recognition of the future trends that will take filmmaking into a whole new plethora of techniques. We can’t wait to add more layers and dimensions to what technology and creative art can build together “

Virtual Production revolutionizes traditional film production in an industry which still uses on-location, studio shoots or green screen set-ups by incorporating a new way of shooting films: the use of real-time 3D environments + post-production VFX. Virtual production solves the problem of location scouting and cuts down tremendously on production costs and time while delivering improved results. In short – It gives you a lot more, for much less.

For the first project in the Virtual Studio, Media.Monks created a short film on the imaginative power of a child.

According to Media.Monks, with myriad moving parts to the whole project, previsualization, and planning were crucial. The Virtual Production process allowed Media.Monks to align all pipelines, pre-production: production: and post-production, and create the film in real-time without using green screens, instead, using only set lights and LEDs for a super seamless process.

John Paite, Chief Creative Officer (art & tech), Media.Monks India, adds, “Virtual Production is not about the hardware per se. It’s purely the people. Its success of it comes down to teamwork. Right from the Director, DOP, Art, Technical director, and the Artists. It requires highly technical skill sets to get the best results and you will have to trust each other. I guarantee that great things will come out of it if you use the right people and vice versa.”

Italian startup takes 1,500,000 kg to create 1Kg

Diamonds are formed when carbon is under an immense amount of pressure and heat. It takes up to 1.3 million times atmospheric pressure (136 gigapascals) to turn carbon into diamonds.

“We do not make diamonds but the lightest suitcases in the world. – says Michael Kogelnik, the founder of BAZZA.com, the Italian start-up that will produce the lightest suitcase ever made in history in a factory near Milan. – This product uses revolutionary technology to be super light but at the same time, like a diamond, super strong.”

BAZZA suitcases in fact weigh about 1 kg, which is one-third the weight of suitcases on the market.
Making them requires 630 tons of machinery pushing at a pressure of 1,500,000 kg, which is needed to shape the raw material and transform it into the suitcase shell.

“With a lower pressure, the machine would explode, – explains Daniele Maraviglia, production director, – The technology used allows a superfast production cycle that enables us to produce a suitcase in one minute. The pressure with which it is created makes it possible to obtain an ultra-thin (1mm), compact and super strong suitcase.”

“I was always having to pay overweight fees, and carrying around heavy stuff is no fun, – Micheal says, – so one day I set myself the absurd goal of creating a 1 kg luggage and I worked tirelessly to rethink every aspect of the luggage’s design to eliminate every superfluous gram.”

With carry-on baggage regulations by airlines allowing a maximum weight of 7 kg, lightness is becoming an increasingly important element. With a BAZZA suitcase that weighs 1 kg instead of 3 kg, customers can carry 50% more personal belongings than any other product currently on the market.

The environment also benefits from the weight reduction, both during the flight and during production: Bazza claims that its luggage, which is also 100% recyclable, will consume 98% less CO2 during its lifetime.

Bazza luggage will be launched in the market in November 2022.
