Visual effects breakdown on Son Of Sardaar : Bollywood News

We shoot all the plates using 500FPS

The sequences that required speeding up and slowing down was shot using the Phantom camera, for instance the climatic sequence where we shoot all the plates using 500 frames per second (FPS) separately, Ajay Devgns live action plate was ramped to match up to 24 frames per second. The challenge in this shot was to make it look like the goons were actually being hit by Ajay, even though all the actors were shot separately. In order to get the look and feel of the shot right, we choreographed and rehearsed the scene thoroughly, with this every movement of the character was planned for camera layout purposes. Reference points were placed on seven sticks in place of the goons, these points ensured correct framing of the actors swinging hand movement. There were no CG characters made to augment the scene, we accomplished this shot in ten days. In the online process, a camera shake effect was added to accentuate the impact effect visible on screen.
