KV Anand is working hard to make his fourth venture Maatran a
bigger one. The film is said to be science fiction with pump action
thrills and actions.
Now the director has
planned to make it bigger by roping in one of the legendary and Top most
Visual effects from Hollywood. Stan Winston Studios are the one who
worked for the epic films like Avatar, Jurassic Park series, Terminator
Series, Aliens, Predator, End of Days, Iron Man, War of the Worlds and
many more high budget movies in Hollywood.
But
they left their mark in Tamil film industry with recent Superstars
blockbuster Enthiran the Robot. Now KV Anand has brought back the team
for Surya s Maatran.
This is the first time
that KV Anand has been doing a film based on Visual Effects and he
wanted the best and as a former assistant of director Shankar surely he
would make him proud adds sources.
But the name of Stan Winston Studios and Legacy Fx are known to be the same, but they are split-ted into two banners recently.
Phenakistoscope (1831) A phenakistoscope disc by Eadweard Muybridge (1893).The phenakistoscope was an early animation device. It was invented in 1831 simultaneously by the Belgian Joseph Plateau and the Austrian Simon von Stampfer. It consists of a disk with a series of images, drawn on radii evenly spaced around the center of the disk. Slots are cut out of the disk on the same radii as the drawings, but at a different distance from the center. The device would be placed in front of a mirror and spun. As the phenakistoscope is spun, a viewer would look through the slots at the reflection of the drawings which would only become visible when a slot passes by the viewer's eye. This created the illusion of animation.
