The course of DFM or Digital Film Making concentrates on diverse concepts of Film Making.



The software taught here comprises of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Soundbooth, Adobe Premiere and more.

With the ripened fruit of the ANNUAL PICNIC 2018 comes the event of DFM contest.

The auspicious occasion is followed by the participation of all the students of MAAC in cooperation of the faculty members.

Every year, just before the ANNUAL PICNIC, our mentors declare the notice of the DFM contest and the students get ready for their respective portions.

All the students are requested to make a team and make their own line-ups, production, storyline and shooting process.

At the initial stage, they feel quite nervous about the dos and don’ts.

However, with the course of time, they are given suggestions as well as assistance from the institutes’ part in order to accomplish their works.

After getting enough data and criteria from the centres each team is allotted to one of our specific faculty supervising the entire production.

Time is allotted to all teams so that they can complete their works within a certain time frame.

This deadline is given so as to prepare the students for the fashion of encountering the upcoming multifaceted deadlines in their career.


Digital Film Making Pre-Production

All the teams decide their own team members and they set up themselves responsible for various roles in the film.

They determine among themselves the director, cinematography, the name of the production, the story play, concept, castings, and the scripts.

Subsequently, the scripting is written and one of the students takes the responsibility.


The Digital Film Making Scenario

After all the above-stated actions, the students begin their shooting process.

During their shooting process, our faculty members stood by them so that they face no major difficulty during shooting.

All the sequences are well crafted and well-organized as per the concept and script of the play.

To this, comes the Post-production process.

In this post-production procedure, the team conducted the dubbing, recording, background music implementation process and all other post-work effects creating tasks.

These tasks comprise of the editing and VFX techniques, however, the students make hard to perform those but they did well.


Digital Film Making 2018

In this year, both the Chowringhee and Rashbehari centres participated and showed their best.

But, as you know, only three of the total films will be recognized and honored with the DFM awards, so it was indeed a tough competition.

Even the mentor jury members felt it difficult to select the winner and the runner-ups among them.

After a prolonged discussion and watching session, the mentors are finally ready to declare the winners.

And there was no other special day to announce the winners than the ANNUAL PICNIC DAY.

The prizes were hosted on the day that was decided.

The moment of revelation was near after the events in the picnic and the heart of all students stood still making “Lubb” “Dubb” in a succession as the director of MAAC Kolkata was about to announce the name of the winner.

Yes, it was out and Mr Naveen Choudhary declared “Gondo Murkher Certificate” stood the winner of the DFM contest.

The team applauded, jumped into air merrily.

This particular moment is the joy of our MAAC Kolkata.

This was accompanied by the two runner-up trophies- Aalik the first runner-up and Tumi_Robe Nirobe the second runner-up.



Story play

The film Gondo Murkher Certificate is indeed a marvel of the team and the concept was inspirational.

The story of the film revolves around an innocent, foolish boy who is unaware of the thinking of the entire social world, is moving forward in his life and his sole companion is foolishness.



In the whole succession, he is shown as a dumb stupid young college-goer who is indifferent to the other fellows of his class, is getting backstabbed from his mates.

However, the disrespect he is getting from others does not change him from his originality.

Moreover, his own parents are dishonoring and even saying to turn him out of the house owing to his failure in the exams.

Although such disrespectful attitude never moved this guy to take any illegal steps in life.

The film started with the scene where the guy is standing below the fan holding a cloth in his hand.

Immediately just after watching the opening scene, one comprehends a picture of suicide, but at the ending scene, the truth reveals.

Actually, we, the audience are the original fools who took him as a suicide committer, the scene was basically the boy was trying to wash the fan blades to avoid it remain unclean.

Isn’t it interesting?

Yes, it is.


Coming to the 1st runner-up, Aalik has a spiritual appeal to the audience.

The story starts with a girl in a hospital, trying to portray that she met an accident.

From this succession comes to the progression of the story where she has forgotten her pre-accident life and is living a post-accident life.

She feels attached to the caretaker which she thinks she has him all the time caring her.

Then a day comes when she feels some sort of reflection from the past life and visualizes the caretaker (who wanted her to memorize the pre-incident life she led) as her husband.



At a stretch, she remembers all the moments she spent with the caretaker as her wife before the accident and suddenly she realizes that he, on that accident, lost his life.

And it was a total time frame of hallucination that she led during the post-accidental life.

She recognizes her love, her beloved husband who used to take care of her and she missed those days.

A scene is shown where she wrote her entire experience until then and prays to regain the post-incident memory loss disease so that she remains hallucinating her husband and stay with him forever.

With this spiritual film comes the 2nd runner-up Tumi_Robe Nirobe.

The film indeed touched the heart; it depicted the mother-son relationship before the death of the mother and after it.



How a son feels emotional on the Valentine’s Day and how the viewers mistook him buying flowers for her girlfriend.

Actually, he was buying flowers for her mother on the precious lovely day of St Valentine.

Such a mind-blowing concept reveals the depth of the story writer.


The play revolves around a son, how he behaved with her mother during the presence of his mother and how he realized his mistakes during the absence of his mother.

All these films are from the MAAC Chowringhee centre.

Conclusion

Each and every team gave their best and it was reflected in their works.

These films were accompanied with other relevant films like Autobiography of a Killer, Daridrata, Letter, Punoray, Remedy, Sheep lost shape, Sunshine Disparity, The Canvass, The Silent Warrior, UNWANTED, I SEE YOU, Gruselig, Don’t do it and many more.

Beware As Tiger Zinda Hain


A sequel accompanied the ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ movie and audiences are eager to know the major and minor Visual Effects challenges in the movie.


The outstanding film is on the door now.

Open it and the wolves are in out of the stunning newly released film ‘Tiger Zinda Hain’.

Yash Raj films have done a marvelous job may it be Visual Effects or acting, casting or location or any other aspects?


The film is directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and the entire story play is contributed by Zafar and Neelesh Mishra.

The film had hit the box office and is a blockbuster hit film in India.

The budget of the movie was 210 corers but it had crossed the mark of 561 corers.

This blog is presented by the MAAC Kolkata team to give the readers and the aspirants to administer an idea about the effective use of Visual Effects in the latest film ‘Tiger Zinda Hai”.

This blog can be beneficial to those candidates who are film lovers and VFX aspirants who research about the various VFX techniques utilized in the recent movies.

Plot of the Story



Eight years have gone since the occasions of Ek Tha Tiger and the whereabouts of Tiger and Zoya are not known.

In Ikrit, Syria, 40 attendants – 25 Indian and 15 Pakistani – are held prisoner in their own doctor’s facility by Abu Usman, the head of ISC, a psychological oppressor association.

The director of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), Shenoy, feels that exclusive Tiger would have the capacity to protect the medical attendants.

And he believed he can do it too inside a time of 7 days as the United States will dispatch an airstrike inside 7 days to kill Usman.

By and by, Tiger and Zoya live in Innsbruck, Austria and have a child, Junior.

Shenoy and his appointee, Karan, manage to figure out how to discover Tiger in order to embrace the mission.

Albeit reluctant at in the first place, Tiger concurs after Zoya requests that he complete the mission for his nation.

Tiger and three other RAW specialists Azaan, Namit and Rakesh go to Syria.

Then, Zoya comes to know about the Pakistani medical caretakers held prisoner alongside the Indians and joins Tiger with two other ISI individuals Abrar and Javed.

Upon the arrival of the airstrike, Tiger figured out how to safeguard the medical caretakers from the healing facility.


Then, Abu Usman holds Zoya prisoner and catches Tiger, who is put into a toxic substance chamber.

Tiger accompanied with Zoya and all the medical caretakers run away after Tiger massacres Abu Usman and his troops.

Tiger and Zoya seek total isolation indeed because of Tiger’s conviction that the RAW will never pardon him for abandoning them, yet reveals to Shenoy he will dependably be there if his nation is in a bad position.

Incredible Visual Effects Breakdown


It is evident from the budget that the entire population of India has rushed to the cinema theatres to watch the movie.

So do you know how the scenes were created in the movie?

Can you remember the sequence of Tiger versus the wolves?

Let me elaborate the entire VFX breakdown of the succession.

The wolves were trained for months to match the action sequences of the required scene Salman fighting among the icy mountains of Austria.

The wolves were shot in live-action and they faced the camera with utmost care and responsibility.

Dealing with wild animals like wolves is not only difficult but also risky.

Here in this scene, the entire production team captured the portions of the wolves running behind Salman and Junior and their motion was tracked.

Independent actions of Salman were shot with the help of a camera.

Afterwards, both the scenes were compiled and blended together as per the storyboard’s necessity.

Prior to accomplishing all the scenes, the storyboard artists were set to plan all of the scenes so that the director gets a visualization of the sequences clearly.

As a result, this will help at the time of the shooting of the scenes with the wolves as well as Salman.

With a view to aiding the VFX artists to compile and combine the two parts of Salman and the wolves together, the storyboard artist worked hard to turn out the actual scene with exact clarity and precision.

Apart from this scene, several other scenes in the movie have also used Visual Effects.



The oil tanker blast scene has consummated a major portion of the VFX with much precision as per the scene’s requirements.

The scene where the truck hit the front area of the hospital is a massive scene where the film portrays the blast of the oil tanker.



The stuntman Sam trimming is assigned with the task of blasting the truck in the above-mentioned area and he had done this successfully and carefully.

However, the blast needed more fume and fire explosion effects which were missing in the real scene.

These effects were added by the Visual Effects team to add vigor to the explosion scene of the movie.

In the movie, there are several other instances of explosion scenes like the car crashing and exploding.



All these scenes would not have been possible without the effective use of the Visual Effects.

As it is a story that depicted extensive actions and fighting scenes, so it is obvious that they would require efficient works and contribution of VFX.

In the fighting scenes on the hills, Salman has done most of his parts in the wire.

Thus it can be drawn that wire has been used effectively in the scenes.

But within this, the action sequences of Katrina cannot be missed.

Though the film had rocked hard the floor of Moviemaking, it could have used much VFX techniques in certain portions.


It would have employed some advanced level of Fume FX or other explosion Visual Effects software to enhance and embellish such scenes of blast an explosion.

The Conclusion


The film has indeed shown the efforts and the hard work of the entire crew as wells the director and the artists.

Our foundations have educated a few subject points like Art of Camera Tracking, Vector Line-Art, Advanced Rigging, Polygon Illustration, Game Design (Part-1), Render Pass Compositing, Intro to Autodesk Smoke, V Ray Lighting, Lip-Sync in 3D Animation., UI KIT Framework.

Art of Camera Tracking


The art of camera tracking or Matchmoving can be defined as the method that allows computer graphics insertion into the live-action video stream with the proper position, scale, orientation, and motion.

The process is also known as Motion tracking.

This is the secret behind how the movie devils/monsters run down to the main street and how the robots run through crowds without being identified among the crowd.

The faculty team assembles to discuss the relevant topics and then decide which will hold after the other.

This initiative is taken by the faculties with a view to training the students about the technicality of the related courses that might be absent in the syllabus.

Vector Line-Art


Line art may seem easy but it is quite tough.

It can be defined as the image consisting of lines, curved or straight, without any colour shading or graduation.

There are specific areas where you may have the independence of solid pigment and dots that can be used along with lines.

Vector line art is used to illustrate images with the help of lines, dots and solid pigments with lucid separation between each colour, given there is a criteria-that not a single colour blends or inclines from one colour to another but a distinct separation of colour.

Advanced Rigging



Masterclass on Advanced Rigging has taught students with the various fundamentals of rigging, character rigging, advanced 3D rigging and many more.

Students are given a vast concept of advanced rigging and the importance of it.

Polygon Illustration


Polygons are prevalent in the advanced world.

They can be known as a sort of unconventional advanced craftsmanship.

Polygons confer your picture or content in a one of a kind 3D, retro style.

At first, polygon designs were utilized for making 3D models and scenes in video games in view of their render speed, which was accomplished because of low polygonal determination.

When in doubt (yet not generally) polygons are triangular.

They emerge when a question’s surface is demonstrated, vertices are chosen, and the protest is rendered in a wire outline show.

The system is speedier to show than a shaded model.

Skilful advanced specialists even figure out how to keep away from creases in polygon plan.

With the purpose of creating polygon illustration, developers mainly depend on Cinema 4D. Though you can use any 3D software, developers prefer Cinema 4D.

This software is convenient owing to its adaptability and ease in certain fields of modelling, lighting, and Visual Effects.

Game Design


This field of study can be one of the amazing/interesting fields if you’re a game lover.

A designing game requires lots of technicality and emphasis.

According to the Envisage International Corporation of US, game design is a large field and is drawn largely from fields of computer science/programming, creative writing and graphic design.

It can be defined as the art of employing design and aesthetics in order to produce a game for the sake of entertainment or for any other educational, scientific purposes.

Render Pass Compositing



In this training series of the internal master class, our faculty Mr Ajay Kumar Shaw goes through the elemental and superior multi-pass rendering and compositing methods/procedures using Maya, VRay and Nuke.

Intro to Autodesk Smoke



This training master class was held by faculty Siddhartha Jaiswal teaching the basics of Autodesk Smoke to the pupil of the institute.

The day’s teaching finds out about Autodesk Smoke’s consistent coordinated video altering and impacts capacities.

Smoke encourages you to increment your profitability by joining intense impacts apparatuses with a simple to-utilize timetable altering condition.

Autodesk Smoke consolidates a completing package and full editing package with a hub-based compositor across the board (all in one).

V Ray Lighting



A significant topic is discussed in brief in one of the master classes held by Rajib Ghosh i.e. V Ray Lighting.

It is a rendering engine that works with the help of 3D software.

The rendering software utilizes global illumination algorithms like path tracing, photon mapping, and irradiance maps and directly figured global illumination.

Lip-Sync in 3D Animation


Lip synchronization is popularly known as ‘Lip-sync’.

There are lip-synchronize modules for 3D Animation that make a muscle-like structure in the mouth territory of a 3D character.

UI KIT Framework


UIKIT is known for its utilization in iPhone Apple.

It is considered as a top-notch Objective-C framework that is specialized in managing the statistical front-end of the iPhoneOS.

UIKIT, being a public framework, is known for its global acceptance.

As a result, all the documentations can be found on Apple’s iPhone; however, this is only a part of the entire UIKIT.

All these sections are taught besides the syllabus of the courses to the students of MAAC Kolkata
