S. S. Rajamouli Directed movie Baahubali, a Telugu action movie,
was the highest grosser Indian movie. INR 120 Crore budget movie earned over
INR 600 Crore and became the highest grossing telugu movie of all times. Apart
from an interesting story line and strong characterization with combination of
the real life and reel life effect turned Baahubali into a mind
blowing visual effect movie of its time.. The movie had one year pre-production
work where in 15000 story board sketches were created which is the highest for
any Indian film till today. More than 600 VFX artists worked (which includes
Makuta VFX, Prasad EFX, Firefly in Hyderabad, Tau films from Malaysia etc.) for
the film to create more than 90 percent visually enhanced shots. V. Srinivas
Mohan, a National Award Winner headed as the VFX supervisor. The film boast of
90 percent Computer Generated Imagery works which accounts for 2500 VFX shots.
Makuta VFX was chosen as the main visual effects studio and was responsible for
more than 50 percent of the CGI in the film.
This is the VFX breakdown of the Movie Baahubali- The Beginning by
Makuta VFX:
In this shot Shivgami is saving the baby, the water has been
enhanced by VFX generated waterfalls. This famous shot was originally shot with
a bottle of mineral water in Shivgami’s hand above the water.
This heart dropping shot in which Prabhas is hanging from the rock
was actually VFX generated. Originally Prabhas was lifted by crane to give a
shot of rock climbing.
While we saw Prabhas hoping and jumping over the branches in the
jungle on big screen, in reality Prabhas was just hoping over a giant log with
green screen in the background.
Feeling very honored to say that we at, MAAC Chowringhee, MAAC Animation Kolkata, MAAC Rashbehari welcomed Mr. Sanath P. C., the founder and VFX
supervisor by profession of The Firefly Studios, whose special effects are also
