Highlights of VFX and post-production for Bollywood films in 2011

By Bollywood Hungama News Network - December 31, 2011 - 2:26 PM IST

One of the largest post-production houses in India, Pixion Studios, contributes VFX for most of the big banner Bollywood films like, Singham, Force, Shaitan to name a few. With Indian cinema leaving a hint of more stereoscopic conversion productions such as Ra.One, Viral Thakkar, CG VFX head of Pixion Studios Mumbai, downplayed the thought of Pixion Studios having a stereoscopic conversion setup in the country at the moment, due to an abundance of projects in its way. Pixion has not had the opportunity to look towards the stereoscopic fragment although the plan ultimately will include a state of the art setup available. With us inching closer to 2012, according to Viral, Indian cinema is going to expect a surge with VFX swinging upwards. He says, "I think most of the films are going to be in 3D, we have just delivered the VFX for Don 2; the film has been converted into 3D at Reliance Mediaworks. The quality plays a very big role if you are converting the films and if the quality is not right then the audience might experience these so called 'headaches'. I think for 2012, Bollywood is definitely going the 3D way at least where the big VFX and Bollywood films are concerned."

"The doors have already been opened with Ra.One and Don 2. I think we should see a jump in stereoscopic 3D productions for sure, with a lot of new theatres being equipped and the market witnessing the difference on the revenue that a 3D film can generate, I think there's a big upward trend in here for sure. Although Rockstar does not have very loud VFX in it, it's all invisible and very narrative. I give a, thumbs up to directors who are making this upward trend happen," says an optimistic Merzin on the scale of projects and quality work to hit the Indian post-production scene. "Krrish 3 is going to go on floors in 2012, so there's big movement towards that production and Agent Vinod is going to make a mark as well." Merzin concludes with some of the projects in sight for Prime Focus.
