Hyderabad-based Makuta VFX delivers visual effects of Makkhi : Bollywood News

A lot of elements had to be replicated in CG

Due to the complexities and handling of jobs back at the studio, there were two principal VFX Supervisors working on set and/or at the studio simultaneously. We would advise the director on how to get specific shots as he required, sometimes having to think on our feet as the shoot was occasionally dynamic. Makuta pre-visualized and storyboarded a lot of the feature film, but when it came to filming, things had a tendency to change. The shots we thought could be shot live practically became impossible because of physical aspects; the lenses had a large diameter so getting close to objects or surfaces was difficult. The probe lenses we used had to be perfectly static, or else it would appear like an earthquake occurred with just the slightest shudder. Therefore, a lot of elements had to be replicated in CG with us having to determine passes, lighting information, set notes etc., and think of solutions to problems in a heartbeat, while also anticipating issues that may come up later on. It was a challenging shoot to work on but good nonetheless.
