Prime Focus Team delivers 664 VFX shots and full DI for Paa

Prime Focus got the gig to do 664 VFX shots and full DI for the new bollywood film ‘Paa’ about a victim of progeria, the rare genetic disorder characterized by rapid aging at an early age.  Consisting  mostly of post-processing work to augment prosthetics, CGArena has an interview with VFX supervisor Susheel Peris.

“Paa has an unconventional and realistic storyline. The VFX in the film mainly involved a lot of prosthetic makeup augmentation on Auro and an array of television news channel PIPs. The challenge for us was in getting the look right for the character Auro, to make him look believable and flawlessly real” said Merzin Tavaria.

There were close to 400 shots in the film where the make-up needed to be digitally touched up frame by frame to create a seamless look of Auro's head matching the skin tone of the prosthetic with the real skin tone. Extensive rotoscoping was carried out on these shots followed by colour correction to get the final seamless look.
