Free training in visual effects

Special Correspondent

Indian film industry is lapping up VFX even if it means a bigger budget

Kochi: The latest trend in Bollywood filmmaking is its newfound seriousness about visual effects (VFX) that involves extensive detailing about VFX right from scripting to the post-production stage.

Producers such as Eros, one of new corporates in Bollywood, in addition to Reliance ADAG, Studio18, UTV and Percept, demand strict review of the work in progress, which means animation or visual effects heavy films cannot be in the making for an endless period of time. Furthermore, with increasing competition from Hollywood, the Indian film industry is lapping up VFX even if it means a bigger budget for the movie.

Moreover, the VFX used these days are so advance and brilliant that viewers do not even realise that animation was used in a particular scene.

Frameboxx Animation & Visual Effects, a versatile conglomerate with a focus on high quality animation and visual effects training has announced “Get...Set...VFX" - classes for VFX aspirants aimed at giving a kick start to a career in visual effects. These classes provide aspirants with a hands on platform free of cost, says a press release here. This would essentially be a 4-day hands on exercise with a day dedicated for showcasing mind-blowing VFX works across the globe in order to inter-relate the four days’ work they have done. This entire five-day program will be carried out at Frameboxx centres in Kochi (Kandamkulathi Tower, MG Road, Kochi - 11, Ph: 4038 581, 9947199094) starting every Monday.

The programme is aimed at providing a learning opportunity for beginners exposing them to opportunities and growth in visual effects in the animation industry. The programme would help prospective students to understand the concepts of visual effects from the initial aspects of pre-production, live shoot and post-production, reels presentations, taking examples from movies and inter-relating the techniques of motion graphics, chroma keying, masking etc.

The programme will give an opportunity to experience high quality training, which is a trademark of Frameboxx, claims the press release.

Interested students can get in touch with Frameboxx centres in Kochi and register for the programme.
