Last night i watched the fairly resent hollywood film Life of Pi.
The film was enjoyable, and the narrative to compliment, but what i wanted to point out is the incredible visuals that the film encompasses!
The company involved in the visual effects is a huge company called R&H who worked on many well known hollywood films.
There are just a few elements that im going to write about due to the sheer scope of the film:
Shot breakdown:
960 shots in the movie
690 visual effects shots
446 Rhyme & Hues shots
53% went to Los Angeles
20% to Hyderebad
17% to Mumbai
7% to Kuala Lumpur
3% to Vancouver
this is the breakdown of shots and where they went around the world to be completed!
The studio wanted to make the water/ sea an actual character in the movie, not in terms of being a part of the movie but the feel of the movie, when the main protagonist showed emotions they would try and reinforce those emotions with how the sea was represented.
What i liked:
The magical visuals, similar to that of avatar, but also the relationship between the tiger and the boy, and finally the twist at the end which made to choose what you want to believe.
i liked these because they relate to my practice, i like to give 'not so human' characters an actual personality, and also i love to make the audience THINK! wether it be good or a bad kind.
What i disliked:
sometimes there was a few farfetched scenes and situations, and the water was sometimes looking like a bath tub rather than the whole ocean, which is a shame due to that being the production teams main ambition.
What i will take away from it:
Being as though their main task was to make the sea look vast and powerful, i am going to stick to my future targets and keep going without cutting corners or finally finishing.
