After completing No one Killed Jessica, Mumbai based Prime Focus is up again with its new highly awaited, Akshay Kumar starrer movie Patiala House. The entire movie was delivered out of Prime Focus' facility in Goregaon, Mumbai.

"We have worked on good 500 shots in a short span of one month and the VFX, though not evident in the movie, adds lot of life to the scenes. The movie also has a lot of scenes based on Cricket where it's very difficult to create a ball on computer graphics and match it with the focus of the actor's eyes! However, it's not quantity over quality. We did it because both our facility and our people today are efficient to deliver this amount of work", says Merzin Tavaria, Co-founder & Chief Creative Director, India, Prime Focus, who takes pride in his work and in the world class facility that Prime Focus has created to better itself and to provide cutting-edge services to its clients. "It's an additional advantage for our clients as they do not have to travel to different service providers for their need of various processes of moviemaking", he adds

Talking about the DI, Rohan Desai, DI head and Chief Colourist, Prime Focus, says, "For Patiala House the overall look and feel is very natural and de-sat. The Cricket match scenes in particular were quite challenging as they were shot in 3 different formats, i.e. RED, 5D and SUPER 35 and different weather conditions of London made the shots capture different lighting and look. It was a challenge to give a happy-bright feel to the entire match, while maintaining consistency at the same time.

The VFX for the movie has been supervised by Mahesh Baria, VFX Supervisor, Prime Focus and Sunny Singh, Colourist; Prime Focus has set the grade for the film. Apart from VFX and DI, Prime Focus has also provided cameras and Film Mix service for Patiala House.
