How Delhi Safari got its animation right? : Bollywood News

Pre-production began with ideating about the character sketches

Nikhil was very clear that it should be portrayed in a Bollywood way from the start and after a few months we were presented with a one page story called, Delhi safari by Nikhil Advani. We liked the concept instantly, and knew there was a lot of potential in it. Pre-production began with ideating about the character sketches and the whole plot; basic briefs on the main characters were provided describing what he was looking in their personas. Along with this, Nikhil was working on the scripts with his team. Plenty of table read sessions were carried out to improvise the script with dialogues; it took about a year to finalize the entire script. During the initial meetings, we had various rounds of discussions on the process of animation with Nikhil. As it was his first animation directorial, it was imperative that he understood the animation production pipeline thoroughly, towards the end of the production of the film, we decided to give the movie a stereoscopic angle as well. The stereoscopic process of the film lasted eight months because we didnt go for the typical 3D conversion process, but actually rendered the second eye perspective and conducted extensive work on over 120 shots.
