2200 VFX shots for Vijay's Puli:RC Kamalakannan
RC Kamalakannan is an ace VFX specialist who has worked in many films including Sye, Yamadonga, Naan Ee and Magadheera. He won two national awards for his work in Magadheera and Naan Ee.
“Way back in 2000, I had worked on the small CG portion of Ponnu Onna Naa Parthen in Vijay’s Kushi and now am working again with him but this time the project and backdrop are completely different” said Kamalakannan.
Speaking about his working experience with Rajamouli, Kamalakannan said “My collaboration with Rajamouli has begun with Sye and we exponentially progressed with each film where we increased the number of VFX shots. Right from Yamodonga to Eega, the number of CG shots has been progressively increased”.
Kamalakannan says that VFX work is a never ending process. “Though we had locked certain quality range for Magadheera and Eega, we re-worked few more sequences and shots for the blue-ray version” says Kamalakannan.
Apparently among all the films Kamalakannan has worked, Puli has the highest number of CG shots. “Puli has nearly 2200 VFX shots which is highest in my career. Chimbu Devan gave nearly 2700 shots for VFX but later fixed as 2200” said Kamalakannan.
Apparently, Naan Ee had 1200 VFX shots and Magadheera had 1700 shots so Puli is the career highest for Kamalakannan.
The VFX work of Puli is happening in seven different places including Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Sweden, Chennai, Bangalore and Netherlands.
“Among all the VFX experts in different countries, the work done by Russians is the best and hence some of the most difficult scenes have been handed over to them” pointed out Kamalakannan.
“Today, the standard of CG must be on a different level and audience should not find out where we have incorporated visual effects. Also, CG must be for the story conceived by the director not the other way around” said Kamalakannan.
The VFX specialist has revealed that the teaser of the film had only four VFX shots while the trailer will have more forty shots where audience could witness the grandeur and quality.
Kamalakannan also revealed that nearly 150 VFX artists have worked for Puli’s CG work and they will be soon wrapping up the post-production work
