<span class=normal>Fifteen thousand days of work has gone into creating the visual effects for Love Story 2050, informs Merzin Tavaria, Head of Visual Effects, Prime Focus. He further elaborates that a key component of say even 3 seconds at times took a month to conceptualise and execute. Well, theres no doubting the fact that visual effects in Love Story 2050 were brilliant. If only the story had more substance, it would have been a landmark film in totality. Merzin and his team had a great time brainstorming with director Harry Baweja who left no stone unturned in creating a whole new world. Its visually stunning to watch cars flying but we have kept reality to everything. We have always tried to add a little bit of physics to everything so that the cars are not looking like some flying saucers or space ships. They are still in the real space, says Merzin. Lets find out what Tavaria has to say about the making of a few key structures in the futuristic Mumbai. <br><br> <br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Shell Houses <br><br><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Mumbai is running out of space. We are already moving in to the sea and what better place than having VIP bungalows right on water. So this was the concept of shell houses which are houses half above water half below water. The original design for shell houses was done by Art Director Omang Kumar. We created a whole colony of shell houses giving them a more of a palm feel. We have a 55 second shot for the camera travel, which is the birds eye view going down in to the shell house and the camera travels right through the inside of the shell house, goes around Harman and you see Nariman Point of 2050 and thats a complete 360 degree virtual environment. </span><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>
