Lines shape everything in design—they divide space, guide the viewer’s eye, and create rhythm. But beyond structure, each line holds character: its length, thickness, and direction convey mood and energy. For this project, we used hand-drawn, dynamic lines to animate elements like the Diya, adding warmth and life. The flickering strokes made the flame feel real, intimate—almost alive.

 

This approach extended to our depiction of human figures. Slightly uneven, delicate lines captured the emotional essence of the characters, highlighting themes of reflection, connection, and celebration. The contrast between the Diya’s glow and the softness of human forms revealed the soul of each scene. The final film felt handcrafted, rooted in tradition, and deeply resonant—just like Diwali itself.
