Eighteen years of cinema
Live-action craft behind every frame
Before the animated films came eighteen years of live-action filmmaking: feature films, a broadcast web series, short films, advertisements, corporate films, documentaries and music videos, made with cinema cameras, real locations and hundreds of actors.
Eight feature films, including Avataran, the first science-fiction feature of Assam, with more than 1,500 visual-effects shots, and Adhorua, a feature of three hours and sixteen minutes written, shot, cut and scored by one hand. Clients include Excelcare Dental Clinic, Sri Sankaradeva Nethralaya, Nilachal HP Gas Agency and Assam Downtown University.

Questions about our animated video production studio
What does an animated video production studio make?
Animated films of any length: explainer videos, brand films, animated music videos, book trailers, character animation, and devotional and mythological films. At TD Film Studio the same director also shoots live action, so one project can combine animation with filmed footage, visual effects and original music.
Where is TD Film Studio, and do you work with clients abroad?
The studio is in Guwahati, Assam, India, and works worldwide, across Indian and international time zones. Briefs, reviews and delivery all happen online, so a client in another country follows the same process as a client next door.
How long does an animated video take?
It depends on the length, the style and how much is already decided. A short explainer can take a few weeks; a long devotional film takes months. The schedule is agreed in writing before work starts, and the delivery date is guaranteed.
Where can I watch the studio’s films?
Selected films are on the films page, and the full catalogue of films, song-films and devotional cinema is on the TD Film Studio YouTube channel.
The director
