Hong Kong technicians loving 'Robot'

If audience in India and NRIs abroad are eagerly waiting to see the magnum opus of Shankar, Rajinikanth and Sun Pictures in the name of ‘Robot/Endhiran;’ there is a section of technicians in India and abroad who are waiting to learn about Animatronics after watching the ‘Robot.’

Other than this Shankar says that, ‘For a film on Robots, the technical facility required to carry it through is just not available in India and it is a very expensive outing even in abroad. The film begins and ends with special effects, only the songs and a few scenes are exempt from special effects. Frankie Chang, who handled the postproduction of the 3D animated climax scenes at the studio in Hong Kong, even told me that such a climax has not been attempted in his part of the world until now. Animatronics is a painstaking craft and we are here coming with for Indian cinema.’

Let us be proud for ‘Robot’ being a product of OUR OWN South.
