The Awakening 9/11 - New 3D Movie on Vivekananda, 150 Birth Anniversary Celebrations
As part of 150th Birth Anniversary Celebrations of Swami
Vivekananda, Ramakrishna Math, Chennai, India and Ramakrishna
Mission, New Delhi has recently released a new 3D Movie “9/11 – The
Awakening”. This short 3D Movie is about Swami Vivekananda’s
historic speech “Sisters and Brothers of America” delivered at
Parliament of Religions in Chicago on September 11th 1893. The
movie portrays Swami Vivekananda’s trip to the
west, his visit to 1893 World’s Columbian Expo, his Chicago address
at Parliament of Religions (Art Institute) in 1893 and the
popularly known story of Sea frog and Well Frog.
The entire Chicago Expo has been re-created based on 1893 Chicago
Archive Maps and a virtual setup of the Parliament of Religions
stage with an audience of 7000 members has been built. The ship
that Vivekananda undertook during his journey to the West has also
been re-created. The famous story of sea frog and well frog as told
by Vivekananda has been depicted with colorful animation along with
foley sounds effects to entertain the kids.
A realistic 3D Model of Swami Vivekananda with real skin shaders
has been created and improvised based only on his photographs in
the absence of any video reference of Vivekananda. Only a few
Hollywood animation movies like Polar Express (2004), Beowoulf
(2007) have attempted realistic models for living personalities but
for Vivekananda it makes it all the more challenging since 3D body
scan cannot be performed (as he is not alive). To create smoother
animation for the 3D movie, Motion capture has been performed with
an actor playing Vivekananda’s role.
Monastic members of Ramakrishna Mission, Delhi and Ramakrishna
Math, Chennai worked with GISR (Global Institute for Stereo Vision
and Research) team to make the movie.
The movie is currently screened at the 3D Theatre in Vivekananda
House, Chennai and Ramakrishna Mission, Delhi.
