As we all know, a lot of visual effects has been outsourced or offshored to India. But here we have an example of a film made in India, which, according to Brian Jennings, had its effects done in this country. In order to appreciate this film you have to watch most if not all of these 10 minutes. Michael Bay would be filled with envy. There are even Giant Robots that figure prominently in it, so it must be an important film.
The film is called Enthiran, and it is in the Tamil language.
At about 4:10 or so in the excerpt, if you look at the helicopters, you will see a good example of why you should not use Viewpoint (or possibly "group sourced") models very close up. A distant shot would probably have been ok.
I am pretty sure that it was Steve Speer in NYC that first made me aware of this fabulous cross-cultural triumph of visual effects filmmaking.
