Fixing in Kathmandu | Don’t use VFX as a fix, say industry veterans

 Fixing in Kathmandu

The VAM Summit & Awards took place on two days in Mumbai. It saw masterclasses, panel discussions, insightful sessions and VAM Awards. A panel on the first day shed light on the Art of Filmmaking with VFX.

Moderated by Indian Television Dot Com Group founder, CEO and editor-in-chief Anil NM Wanvari, the panel comprised of Rose Audio Visuals managing director Goldie Behl; yFx studio head Sherry Bharda; DNEG India environment head Sameet Gupte; Phantom FX founder, CEO & VFX supervisor Bejoy Arputharaj; director of photography/director Manu Anand and director Vishal Furia.

VFX has changed filmmaking to a great extent over the years. Earlier, films used VFX to fix things in post-production. Now, makers plan the use of visual effects before beginning the shoot. How has this process evolved? “Right now we are in a glorious age of visual effects,” said Sherry Bharda. “I think OTT has revolutionized it. You are bringing scale to enhance your film and stories. India has suddenly become the focus of everybody’s attention. It’s the place where the talent is. We are grooming our talents fast. Talents are now getting the money they deserve. Pipelines are getting restructured. So it’s a great age today.”
