June 13th, 2008
Brian Jennings has said that Dasavathaaram has taken Indian cinema to international standards. It has put Indian cinema on a very high pedestal from where it can be seen and admired by everyone.
He also added that after Star Wars and Jurassic Park, Dasvathaaram is the only picture which will be highly rated for its special effects.
He said that the highlight of the film is the tsunami scene. In fact, this tsunami scene has caught all the attention of all thee VIPs who watched a special preview yesterday. K. Balachander, Rajinikanth, Manorama, Sarathkumar, Radikaa Sarathkumar, Bharat, Suriya, Prabhu, directors Dharani and Vishnuvardhan were present at the special screening.
He added that 10 companies were involved for the special effects and the work was apportioned to each of them. He said there are many scenes that will draw the attention of the people. For example, the film has a scene which depicts heavy rainfall, which was created by Andy Nelson from Florida. He said he cannot divulge more information.
He also added that the visual effects of this film are seamless. The film is completely based on special effects because of the nature of the script.
All in all, it has been a wonderful experience working in Dasavathaaram for this New Zealander, who has worked in over 35 films. Brian and the other technicians involved in the film have worked very hard and have done a very commendable job. Brian is happy that the film has come out extremely well and is looking forward to the people’s reaction to it and to his work.
He also said with a glint in his eyes that he has been deluged with offers from many Indian film-makers but did not give any information about his participation in those offers.
