Ever since ''The Golden Compass'' won an Oscar this year, the Indian animation and visual effects sector is going places. More Hollywood movies are being outsourced to the country for visual effects. Director Chris Weitz's ''The Golden Compass'', starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, outsourced most of its visual effect shots to the Mumbai set-up of Culver City, the California-based firm Rhythm & Hues.
Although it is primarily for cost reasons that Hollywood began to look eastwards, the talent shown by Indian animators and Computer Generated Intermediary (CGI) experts is unquestionable.
Some of these Indian visual effect set-ups are doing an incredible job for Hollywood productions, though out of the glare of publicity.
I saw this news on NDTV 24x7. This channel is excellent for NRIs for the latest news related to India. The channel is available in the US through DirecTV.
