[@hollowdroid28]

Fun fact : Brahmastra was co produced by Namit Malhotra who is the CEO of DNEG, a VFX company that has done all the VFX work for all the high production Hollywood films like Inception, Interstellar, Ex Machina, Blade Runner 2049, First Man, Tenet and Dune. And a division of DNEG has done the VFX of Brahmastra.

[@raja-jl9os]

agar director k pas vision nhi hoga to adipurush jese product banega chahe tum kitna bhi budget laga lo

[@prafullarora]

To add to that, they have won OSCAR for best VFX. not one, but 6! including the latest for Dune!

[@infocus111000]

I think one series to mention in terms of vfx creativity is the Harry Potter franchise. To show magic on screen, there wasn’t a previously existing frame of reference to work off of, so the makers had full flexibility to go nuts. And the interaction of flying objects, spells, new species and creatures while advancing the story forward and make it look SO GOOD is really impressive. As always, amazing discussion and great insight into advertisement CG bawa 👌🏼

[@anushk7157]

Oh I agree, the harry potter franchise's vfx & production design still stands the test of time (except sorcerer's stone). Prisoner of Azkaban which realised of almost 20 years ago still looks so much more believable than Bahubali or even RRR despite the HP franchise being so magic-heavy and a fantasy film in general. Most indian movies really lack the vision to mix production design's practical effects with vfx and of course the concept of colour grading & soft focus & motion blur for distant imagery.

Bawaaaaaa, as an fx artist myself, would like to thank you to speak how much it takes to create stuff in CG. Photorealism is something where there is always a room for improvement.

Same here!! I am also a 3d artist.

[@m3rup3rv3rt]

@@gauravgawade5383 Haan networking shuru karo tum log idhar.

[@anushk7157]

Yes Neville thanks (fellow 3D artist here as well). Though Apratim, I would like to add contrary to Kautuk's point, that as per the looks of this teaser, even after several renders it won't be able to achieve photorealism or even a decent cinema-going experience, as the 3D model itself lack that kind of sculpting and structure, needed for photorealism, it instead would have to create 3D models from scratch it seems, which clearly they don't have the budget or time for, so please audience don't have expectations.

This episode is the true blue masala podcast that's quintessential TISS... I'm soooo excited for the 150th episode. I've never been such a long time fan of anything or anybody. 💞❤️

[@shadaabansari6654]

The funniest thing about the movie is that before the release of the trailer, Adhipurush was a Pan-India movie starring South star Prabhas, now after the debacle, it's a Bollywood movie starring Saif.

[@raja-jl9os]

Bollywood itself mediocre industry only south filmmakers make larger than life vfx movie

[@NirvaanNayak]

27:36 Loved how Bawa explained the "CleanUp process" and called it Rotoscopy whereas it is actually masking out a section of the shot that may overlap things that require changes in the background😉 Being a VFX artist myself, i would like to thank youll for sharing info about the hardwork and dedication that goes into each and every task thrown to us🙏🙏

[@praty92]

[@kedarraval2910]

Being a VFX Artist, one of the best examples of practical effects was the Plane crashing in the airport in the movie Tenet!! Basically Christoper Nolan movies. Also 1917 which was "technically one shot movie"

[@AtulKumarMobius]

Love it when TISS talks about cinema. Bawa on direction and camera work, Kautuk on writing and Thakur on the acting part of movies/TV is a such a great discussion from all perspectives. On VFX in India, one thing I felt in Brahmastra (and Adipurush!) was that the Indian actors are still not used to acting in front of largely green screens.

[@AniKulkarni]

I remember that movie Varun with partial CGI for X-Men. It was WTF moment first as to what they have done :) Then realized it is half baked released early by someone.

[@PhysicsPotion]

30:52 The screen flickering is due to the lights (Behind Varun) frequency is not matching with frame rate of camera. 1:13:05 it's called VOLUME

[@sudhagarks6164]

honorable mention: EEGA MOVIE.. half the movie was VFX.. Incredible VFX... One of the best

[@ahambhramasmi3569]

Great video, a lot of solid points. like how Neville said that the directors vision and time are the reason why our VFX looks like what it is, and the planning that goes into it. But 90% of the technical explanation is completely wrong. Rotoscopy is not what Neville explained, roto is just a part of what Neville said, and for the particular example that he used sometimes wont even need roto(origin story of roto is correct though), and the part he said that the big-budget project being secretive, they are only secretive about the story, not the vfx every single department and every single artist have to work together and will have access to everything that particular studio is working on(the whole movie if its a major vfx firm) otherwise each shot will look different, everything in the movie has to look the same, being secretive completely fails the purpose. But all the issues and all criticism that you guys pointed out about Indian VFX industry and the comparisons with that of Hollywood is spot on, I hope more guys listen to this podcast and more Indian directors listen to this and learn what they are doing wrong. Sourse: I am a Hollywood vfx artist with about 11 years of experience, and have worked in few of the movies that you guys discussed, like Thor: Ragnarok and Top Gun.

Shah Rukh said that if the industry doesn’t evolve, people will stop caring. “We should get into this larger-than-life cinema, because if we don’t, the younger generation will stop watching our films. They have access to international films. I think they should have access to our superheroes, we have such great mythologies, such great stories to tell…”

You could have chosen Indian movies such as 'Eega' and 'Tumbbad' for VFX facts.

[@AdityaMadduri]

RRR and KGF also had superb CGI work

[@karnataneja]

I cant believe you guys forgot mentioning 'Koi Mil Gaya' while discussing VFX especially wrt India. All things said about Hritik's acting or the craziness of the movie concept and its memes, it truly was something for India VFX and more importantly vision that you guys were talking about. I even heard Hritik recently talk about the same where he says that the "VFX should be a bonus, not the main plot. Even if jaadu had come as a cardboard box you'd believe it because you were invested in the guy and empathised with his struggles". I found that pretty interesting so just felt like sharing even though im watching this 1 year later :p
