  • The Offering is an award-winning short animated film created in almost two years by a group of very dedicated Cogswell College (www.cogswell.edu) students. Since it's completion in 2010, The Offering has screened at over thirty international film festivals and been proclaimed as an amazing piece of art and cinema. The Offering's production value is so high and comparable to Hollywood films that it has never had to enter a student film festival to garner wins. Since it's completion nearly every Alumni that worked on the film is employed in their area of expertise.
    The film is loosely based on the love story of the Hindu gods Shiva and Parvati. The Offering was the pilot film for what has become Project X and has served as a great test bed for what was actually possible at an animation school. The latest Hollywood animation production techniques and software were used to create the groundbreaking characters, environments and effects. It pushed the boundaries for student level work and to most experts it appears as a professional level piece.
    The Offering was completed as part of a animation production class called Project X that is offered at Cogswell. The writer and director Michael Zachary Huber is an industry veteran that has worked on many Hollywood blockbusters. The soundtrack for the film was created by Jeremy Soule and Jeff Miyahara. Jeremy is the legendary composer that created the Skyrim soundtrack as well as other Elder Scrolls games and more. Another amazing source of help was choreographer, Reshma Gajar, who has done work for several big name celebrities including Madonna. For more information about the film and its crew check out the links below.

    About Project X at Cogswell College
    Project X is a cross-disciplinary Project Based Learning class that creates a 3D animated short film over the course of 1 year. The purpose of the class is to expose the students to as close to a studio work-experience as possible while still in school. The students gain experience working as a team and leverage the various skills of the group to create the best work possible.
    Facilities and Software:
    Project X works in a dedicated lab giving students extensive access to state of the art equipment and software. For hardware, Project X uses Windows based workstations, servers and render farm. For software, Project X uses Maya, Z-Brush, Mudbox, Mari, Houdini, Nuke, Photoshop, Vray, Renderman and After Effects in addition to a variety of plugins and project management tools. Projext X also uses a custom render manager, Hydra, developed as a project by engineering and computer science students specifically for the school's network.
    Student experience and outcomes:
    The large group project based environment of Project X gives students a number of valuable experiences and outcomes. The students develop and exercise the skills needed to work effectively with a team over an extended period of time such as: being able to communicate clearly and professionally, how to be a team leader and a team player, the ability to manage the schedule for a number of time-sensitive tasks and how to meet deadlines. Students also develop and refine assets responding to feedback from students that will be using those assets, while also providing feedback on assets that they themselves receive. They develop the ability to investigate and evaluate a number of possible production methods to accomplish the challenges set by the needs of the project. In the end the students have the work that they have created to use in their portfolios which has been refined to extremely high standards and has been proven by having been successfully used in a larger work.

    Beautifully depicted.
    An ordinary lady enters the temple with lot of hesitancy. But the change of aura or energy field of the lady changes her hesitancy into confidence, picturised superbly by change in walking style. Even her body colour changes and also her dress showing her as some celestial being. She feels that she can please Lord through her dance or arrogance of beauty maybe. The Lord doesn't fudge or move a muscle in short not pleased by confidence of the lady who thinks she can please the Lord. Finally she lets go of her ego by offering her head flower or ego to the Lord. She walks out of the temple as a simple lady with no ego in her stature or attitude only to find that Lord is pleased.
    Very nicely showed that Offering with complete surrender is always accepted.

    Alright. I can say I liked it. The story, although seemed too inadequate, I guess its fine for a 7 min animation film. I like the fact that you made it on Shiva-Parvati. Parvati being the Goddess who is dancing for her man, her God, Shiva. Now those people who are complaining about Shiva's angry face, must have forgotten that Shiva is also known as Rudra: the angriest of all. And add to that, Shiva is also almost unavailable because of his penance. Parvati hence strives for his attention, which is perfectly showcased here. They have used Shiva's "Nataraja" form background in the art. So mythology wise, I think they did no wrong.

      Indian pottery goes back to 10,000 years at least. Although nowadays, unfortunately, it is rare in use(replaced with plastic bottles), only used in rural places now.
      It gives a distinct sweet taste to the water, keeps it cool, and mineralises it as well.
      It is shame that now we rely on plastic, that is known to leech over time, and use filtered water which is stripped off its essential minerals.

I could have never conceived of this level of quality. But, then, I couldn't conceive of a whole team working together to create magic like this production. I noticed that the dancer's hair was done up so that another team was not needed just to animate her hair flowing but that's cool. I saw the dancer as a Yakshi, a river sprite?

    Once I went to a temple and as I was standing there, a guy comes in takes off his shirt and start playing a chenda (not sure) ...no one moved, it was like everyone went into a trance. After 10 - 15mins he stops and puts his shirt back and walks away..everyone was like..what the hell just happened. This reminded me of that.

    The concept and presentation is really good. For those who are complaining.. this is Lord Shiva's Rudra (fierce) form..Not the hermit one.. only Mother Parvati can calm him. Lord Shiva is Static form of Universe and Mother Parvati is dynamic force, they simply attract and complete each other..

      The point of the animation is that you cannot impress Shiva with complex rituals ( here her complex dance moves ) or by an exhibition of how learned or wealthy you are ( depicted by the arrogance the girl depicts at the beginning ) . True devotion starts when you finally realize that you really cannot offer anything to Shiva except your innocent love ( depicted by the small flower ) and that is what he lovingly accepts .

    I knew she was Parvati or Sati. Shiva is the God of dance and Parvati is his other half. Without her he is detached observer of the universe. Parvati brings him connection to the natural world. This is how they communicate. Shiva is a yogi, he can be detached and seem emotionaless god. He is also the mediating God and dancing God, often depicted as Nataraj.
