Great post, that is fantastic. I love doing stuff like this with my family. It creates a great bond. In fact, for Christmas we learned how to draw portraits for our family Christmas card.

Nice video. I initially though that you were going to set up a domino chain reaction. By the way, was the “Happy 2011” on the table a real shadow effect?

Punya Mishra on January 11, 2011 at 2:39 pm

Great creativity using shadows.

Even silence can be a powerful language if used appropriately. Even shadows can throw light if used creatively.

Wish you the same
