| MEL creative head Chetan Desai said, "Visual effects
give value addition to certain sequences in a film but the success
of an SFX team would be that the effects are invisible, i.e. they
enhance a scene visually without being in your face!"
While a normal film would have 30 seconds to a minute of special
effects, Krishna Cottage has a smooth 10 to 12 minutes of
visual wizardry that goes hand in glove with the script.
Some latest techniques like the 'Time Slice' and 'Bullet time',
which need a multiple camera set-up to shoot the character from
180 degrees, were canned with a single camera for the first time
in India while the good old computer did the work of some 35 cameras!
With wire removal, freeze frame, Computer Graphics, artificial winds
and leaves etc - lo and behold - you have a frozen Isha Koppiker
in mid air!
Some other highlights in the movie are Rati Agnoihotri walking
right between a day and night sequence in the same frame and also
a car coming out of a tunnel, crashing straight into a wall of ice!
Every single pixel of the scene is graphically created!
MEL marketing and communications head Rajnigandha Shekhawat says,
"The crew at Balaji, specially the director Santram and EP
Prakashji, were very professional and made us feel at home even
though this was our first venture together."
