FIFA U-17 WC: WATCH -- This is how the inside of a volunteer centre looks like

EUNOIANS, a group of creative artists, they offer creative ideas for product/service marketing. They expertise in explainer video animation production.

India hosting its first ever FIFA U-17 World Cup and the above mentioned group of artists took this opportunity to celebrate the occasion and also showcase to the world their talent.

Co-founder and animator of Eunoians, Azeem Kattali, also a volunteer for the tournament at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi, Kerala explains how this project and idea came about,

"Venue Volunteer Officer Aisha Nazia interviewed us (Azeem and Harikrishan) a month before for volunteer selection. Once they confirmed our selection we then we discussed the Wall Art project at Volunteer Centre. Aisha got approval after discussing with higher officials of FIFA."

"In our work, we have tried to show people in all walks of life and their connection with football in one or another way. We have adopted even wild ideas to make the work engaging, refreshing and interesting. We made some existing properties of the room (like fire extinguisher etc.) part of our artwork. We have made a wall in the place of glass windows and embossed the official tagline "FOOTBALL TAKES OVER" using forex sheets. Talented artists Seerow Unni, Vinayan, Jeroy, Imodraj etc. of EUNOIANS led these activities."

This is how their Facebook post read:

Wall Art Making Video for FIFA WC

And here’s the story behind our Wall Art at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Kochi :) For Eunoians, the wall art endeavor for FIFA U-17 World Cup is filled with excitement and emotion. All we wanted was to creatively contribute something to this football festival which FIFA brought to our country. The bright spot for us would be becoming a part of this Football revolution, by being at the right place at the right time from where the big change starts to materialize – the FIFA U-17 World Cup, the first-of-its-kind for India. Together, FIFA and Indian Football will do many great things and we will always be proud about the contribution we made at this historical juncture. For 3 days and nights, Eunoians erased the words exhaustion, fatigue, tiredness, body pain and wear out from their dictionaries every time they stepped into the room that hosted the canvas for them. It may sound like an exaggeration but it actually was much more. Once the artists found their rhythm and were ‘in sync’ with their brushes, strokes began to flow seamlessly on the volunteer center walls, it was all dreamlike. We forgot all the exertions and there was only the art and the artist inside the room, everything else was trivial. Thanks a ton Hareesh Kumar, Manu Mohan and Akheesh for capturing all the beautiful moments for us.
