Prime Focus stirs up VFX and DI for Cocktail : Bollywood News

The movie also involved many VFX-heavy sequences; one of which was Veronicas accident sequence. In this particular sequence, a heavily intoxicated Veronica is standing in the middle of the road and is hit by a speeding car. With the impact, she is flung in the air before crashing to the ground, as the car goes past her. Considering the safety hazards inherent in shooting this scene, the director wanted to use VFX. To produce the effect that augmented the accident sequence, Govardhan says, As we had multiple plates, we used a CG tweaking tool in Nuke to achieve a rag-doll simulation, of the actress being flung in the air. We had the passing car and Deepikas shot in separate layers, we tweaked the live action footage, in which we showed the victim being flung in the air. We did not use any 3D character mesh to achieve this, we used a warping technique from Nuke, this technique allows us to project a map on a 2D mesh generated onto the live composite which made it possible.
