"Krishna Aur Kans is produced on Flash and After Effects" - Ashish Kulkarni : Bollywood News

It took four years of research to finalize the story that made up Krishna Aur Kans

There was so much that happened in the first ten years of Krishnas life and almost all the stories are so interesting, it turned out to be really difficult to decide how to sum it all up in two hours. It took four years of research to finalize the story that made up Krishna Aur Kans. The devotees of ISCKON helped us immensely in our research, where-in the scriptwriter of the film Kamlesh Pandey managed to narrate the story immaculately in a way that would gel with anyone from anywhere. It took us at least 20 drafts before we finalized the script. The language is refreshing and pure, the dialogues have stood out with high recall value.

Scenes were approved only when Vikram was hundred percent satisfied

There were two essential aspects that encouraged us to produce the film in digital 2D - one being 2D helped us reduce production cost significantly as compared to what a 3D vector based production would cost. Secondly, when you have the countrys best animation director Vikram Veturi on board, the decision on making the film in 2D is implied. In such a film, every sequence and shot requires special care taken into isolation, and come around with a complete overview that would create a seamless flow. Vikram approached the film and kept two critical elements throughout the film, determining the mood and emotion of a sequence, and thereafter labeling key words like anger, desperation, cheerfulness, hope etc. to the animation scenes as well as, characterization and expressions of every individual character in the shots. Shots and scenes were approved only when Vikram was a hundred percent satisfied that the basic parameters were met, and that the characters acting in isolation looked perfect which would integrate seamlessly to the overall narrative. It was requisite that the color schemes support the mood appropriately, to give the scene a wholesome experience, once the music gets added, basic instructions such as these from Vikram were meted to every team lead and the animators. Although there were many artists working on a scene, this ensured that they come together as a film with each scene and shot fused together.
