As the principal vendor on this film, Makuta was involved in the set design decisions, drastically reducing the overall VFX budget through our on-set shoot supervision, LiDAR scanning of the entire 800m long set and providing “invisible” visual effects to recreate the 3D -Dharavi slums of Mumbai on the Chennai set location. Through compositing, which we supervised and executed to fully 3D extension and our custom “DURT” system to degrade the visibly too-clean set build, we produced hundreds of visual effects shots from rig removal, fire augmentation through fire and debris simulations, 3D building and bridge extension and replacements, hoarding and cleanup, all within a matter on months. A very challenging project with the sheer amount of detail needed to recreate the environment but we pulled it off!
