Creativity often begins in the little things around us, and some people have a special way of seeing the magic in things we usually ignore. With a little imagination, even simple things can turn into fun ideas and playful stories. That's exactly what the lunch guy does.
He uses colorful sharpeners to create small Indian vehicles and brings them to life through animation. His bright models and skillful sketches make people smile.
A man makes an Indian vehicle using colorful sharpeners
The video begins with him showing some colorful pencil sharpeners on a table and saying, “This is a pencil sharpener, and I have a lot.” “So I decided to make an Indian vehicle using these colorful scrapers. It's not that complicated. You'll be able to guess everything in no time,” he added. He puts a black sharpener on the bottom and a yellow sharpener on top, motor sounds and says this is a Bajaj autorickshaw. A creative image shows an automatic sander moving along a hand-drawn road.
Then he says: “This next vehicle is also an auto-rickshaw. It feels wrong to animate it moving smoothly on the road, because we all know the traffic in Bangalore.” He placed a green pencil sharpener on the bottom and a yellow pencil sharpener on top, and added the motor sound again. The image shows a small pencil sharpener automatically moving forward along a road marked with it.
And he said, “This vehicle has been retired from the streets of Mumbai, but some of you will be lucky to have the opportunity to ride it. It is a double-decker bus.” He combined three red sharpeners and added sound effects. The image shows a mini double-decker bus driving alongside a sketched bus stop.
He moved on to another model, saying, “Sometimes it's a truck, sometimes it's a Sheila. This is a light truck. I also didn't have a gray color sharpener, so I ended up using an eraser. I also created additional elements around this light truck.”
With a black sharpener on the bottom, green on top, and an eraser in front, the scene shows a small truck on the road and a drawn character walking to dump trash near it.
Finally he says: “It was actually a challenge to animate this last piece, but I'm glad I was able to make it.” Amid the sound of horns and train noises, he lines up three blue sharpeners and one red sharpener to imitate a train on the tracks. The image shows a small train moving along a sketched track.
The post's caption reads, “Sharps on wheels.”
