The Indian hand in Avatar

While James Cameron's Avatar is creating ripples at the Indian box office queuing up for the visual spectacle, many would be unaware that that an Indian company was part of a team that worked on the awe-inspiring visual effects of the film. Mumbai based vfx house Prime Focus has contributed a number of shots to stereoscopic 3D film. The movie, which stars Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington and Sigourney Weaver, features numerous stereographic and 'Holotable' displays, animated graphics, immersive environments and other visual effects created by Prime Focus. A team of 90 artists which worked on making Avatar a visual spectacle was spread across Prime Focus' Los Angeles, Vancouver and Winnipeg facilities, with President & Senior Visual Effects Supervisor Chris Bond and Visual Effects Producer Chris Del Conte driving the project out of the LA office. The bulk of Prime Focus' work was done for the film's Bio lab and Ops Center, the bustling hub for military operations and one of the key environments in the film. "Our experience working with stereoscopic 3D material, both on the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D and through our proprietary View-D technology, more than prepared us for Avatar," said Bond. Prime Focus designed displays for the Op Center's Holotable over which the film's main characters discuss their missions and plans to mine a valuable mineral found on the planet Pandora. In one key scene, the film's protagonist Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Col. Quaritch (Stephen Lang) bring up a three-dimensional hologram of the 'Home Tree,' where the Navi, Pandora's indigenous population, live. The Prime Focus VFX team also created displays called Immersives that provided a 180-degree stereo perspective, allowing military personnel to control air traffic flow in 3D. Additionally, Prime Focus contributed CG helicopters, buildings and atmospheric elements seen from the Ops Center and Commissary windows in several sequences. Said Del Conte, "Much has been said about James Cameron's incredible vision as a director, his hands-on style and the very high bar he set for all his visual effects vendors, so playing a part in bringing Avatar to life has been a fantastic experience for our team."

"I'm neither sexy nor hot... just an ordinary hard-working girl" - Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif has had three big hits in 2009. A track record that none of her peers can begin to equal in these times of creative and box office recession. That isn't all. She has just been declared as the sexiest Asian actress by a leading Asian website from London. But the girl remains grounded, so much so that she refuses to budge from her abode in a bustling part of Mumbai. "I know I've been reading about relocating my home. I admit I've looked at a few properties. But nothing seriously. Though it's a little noisy on my street I'm too attached to the place I stay in. I'm also too lazy to make a move. Yes I'll need a bigger place when my sister Isabelle joins me. But right now she's studying acting in the US. There's still time," yawns Bollywood's hottest and sexiest girl. So is she planning to move home? "Not at all. I've always wanted a home by the sea. But I love my current home too much. So no plans of moving" No plans of signing any new films yet either. "It's very sweet of directors to mention my name in forthcoming projects. I feel privileged. But I haven't said yes to anything new. At the moment I've cut my workload by half because of my ill health." As for being designated one of Asia's sexiest women by Eastern Eye Katrina laughs, "Me? Hot and sexy? Nah. People should see me at home. I'm painfully unglamorous. Just another working girl making a living."

At near 3 hour length, 3 Idiots is Rajkumar Hirani's longest film ever

Get set for an epic take in the offing. This year's most anticipated release, 3 Idiots, has a running length of close to 3 hours. Taking audiences through different locations in the country and across time zones, this Rajkumar Hirani film is in fact his longest ever when compared to his earlier two efforts - Munnabhai MBBS and Lage Raho Munnabhai. "That's true," confirms Hirani. "Both the films in the Munnabhai series were under 2.5 hours. However, 3 Idiots required a longer duration. I am not worried about the length factor though." Well, even for audiences it should be pretty much the case of ' all izzz well'. Longer stories, if told well, have traditionally worked quite well at the box office. Some of the biggest classics in the history of Indian cinema like Lagaan, Sholay and Mughal E Azam have all crossed the 3 hour mark. Yes, those were the times when only single screens ruled and hence the revenue earned through a larger number of shows wasn't a criteria for a film's length. However, the fact remains that the biggest ever grosser in the history of Indian cinema, Ghajini, lasted for a couple of minutes over 3 hours. Says a trade follower, "I am aware of people's expectations where they want to see more of an actor or a director, if their body of work over the years has been impressive enough. Remember those Amitabh Bachchan films in the 80's? Or the ones directed by Subhash Ghai? Each of them was mandated to be magnum opus and it was an unwritten rule that their films have a running length of at least 3 hours. Similar are the expectations from an Aamir Khan film today." His comments do see good validation if one looks at every film that Aamir has done in the current decade. The running length of Dil Chahta Hai (180 mins), Lagaan (225 mins), Mangal Pandey (165 mins), Rang De Basanti (150 mins), Fanaa (170 mins), Taare Zameen Par (165 mins) and Ghajini (180 mins) has been close to 3 hours or even more. "At the end of the day, it's the story and the story telling that does the trick, not the film's length. Yes, we have seen audiences rejecting What's Your Raashee? due to its length of close to 3.5 hours but also because the film dragged at places. Seeing Hirani's work over the years, the length is a non-issue and one truly believes and hopes that the screenplay holds audience's attention. 3 Idiots is carrying great vibes, the holiday season is on and the festivities would be in progress well into the New Year. I don't see any reason why anyone would even think about the length factor," concludes the trade expert.
