The primary reason cited by makers for the delay of Mahesh Babu’s ‘SPYder’ is ‘CG Work’. 3-4 months time was dedicated for the completion of entire CG work, and the team is still waiting for the final CG output.
On the other hand, the shooting of NTR’s ‘Jai Lava Kusa’ commenced some 5 months ago and they are all set to bring the film into theatres in just about six months. This film also needs heavy CG work since the lead actor is essaying three different characters. So, how could the team of JLK finish the CG work so fast?
It’s all thanks to the technology used by the JLK team. Mo-Sys Camera Motion Systems were used extensively during the shooting stage. And, this technology facilitated the integration of 3-layer shots on the sets , real locations itself. Mr. Nitin Rao (Zero Gravity-Moving Camera Solutions ) had handled the much talked motion control on this fim. He is a Telugu technician who is the son of veteran DOP Kamalakar Rao and is a much respected technician based out of Mumbai. He is executing motion Control on all the Indian films currently such as Jagga Jasoos, mubarakan, Judwa 2 and Jai Lava Kusa, Mersal etc. For Jai Lava Kusa, Nitin Rao’s team had travelled to real locations to shoot Mo-Sys technology shots.
The Runtime of Jai Lava Kusa is 2 hours and 37 minutes (first half 1:18 and second half 1:19 including titles), which is decent considering that stories of three characters have to be narrated in that time frame.
Correction required in your article. ONLY the Mosys Motion Control has been used in JLK and NOT the Milo as incorrectly stated. These motion Control gimmicks are only done by Nitin Rao and his father, veteran DOP Kamalakar Rao in the country. They are highly respected Telugu technicians based out of Mumbai.
