MUMBAI: Contiloe Pictures has rebranded its VFX division to Illusion Reality Studioz, led by Nitin Dadoo.

Contiloe Pictures was the first to pioneer real time facial motion capture on the small screen and PreViz for VFX specific sequences. With this vertical, it is evolving into a full virtual production studio utilising the Unreal Engine and photo real assets via techviz and realtime camera tracking to combine with in camera visuals to create on set final imagery.

I’ve always been fascinated with the history of spaces, knowing there are stories encapsulated in a place. How one can enter a room and receive cues to all that has happened there. As I reflect on Black History Month, I think of the pioneering work of those that came before and the movement of history and culture through these spaces.
My father programmed computers by day, a woodworker in the evening. It isn’t by accident that my chosen profession is visual effects, a mixture of computer science and art. He would wake the kids up early on Saturday mornings. Early enough for morning cartoons, but not so late that Soul Train was coming on. He’d sit at the end of my bed to showing me the newest piece of wood he found. “This is dogwood. It will be perfect for Ebenezer.” At that time, he was designing and building podiums and railings
Snowpiercer VFX Supervisor Damien Thaller Talks Crafting Season 2 s Ice Age
The sophomore season of Snowpiercer is currently in full swing, and it has been showcasing some surprising new sides of its post-apocalyptic story along the way. The series, which is based on the French graphic novel
Le
Transperceneige, takes the world established in Bong Joon-ho s 2013 film adaptation and dives into an entirely new path. That has especially been the case in Season 2, which saw the status quo shaken up by the arrival of a second train known as Big Alice, which is piloted by Mr. Wilford (Sean Bean), the presumed-dead funder and creator of the Snowpiercer train.
Soon you'll be able to capture footage and have it automatically transferred to a cloud-based platform where editors and production teams can get working on it. I remember the 56k Modem sound and the slow downloading of a YouTube video I wanted to watch. Back then I thought YouTube was ridiculous.
