Funde has chosen 3D animation cartoon style in the film but kept the action less exaggerated and grounded so that it looks natural and feels close to life. The animation he has used in Kite, is uncannily lifelike, unique and captures attention. Dedicating one hour everyday since last three years on Kite, Funde never had any deadline in mind as the film seems to be his labour of love. Presently, he’s on a break and focusing entirely on finishing his short film. His most favourite moment there was getting an opportunity to work on legendary director Steven Spielberg in the film The Big Friendly Giant.

The kite festivals and kites in general have been an integral part of local Indian life, adding a lot of excitement and fervour to it. With the festival of ‘Makar Sankranti’ just ending, the very word brings back a vivid imagery flashing by infront of our eyes. To relive these memories, Indian animator Sagar Funde who has been a part of Hollywood biggies like, Life of Pi, The Big Friendly Giant, The Mummy : Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Night at the Museum 2 and many more, has created an adorable animated short – Kite. These bittersweet memories help an individual to temporarily escape the otherwise mundane and monotonous reality. A phase that’s replete with memories, happiness and everything joyful, that everyone likes to hold on to. Childhood is perhaps the fondest phase of one’s life.
