in 2011 the size of the indian vfx industry was around 31 billion dollars but within 10 years
it has risen to massive 74 billion 74 billion dollar company
frame store or digital domain establishing their offices there and now shifting from rotoscoping
and cleanup to creative visual effects creation india's vfx industry will surely continue to grow
having its own huge film industry india has also established its own vfx companies over the years
what made the indian vfx industry rise constantly in the last decade let's find out
the industry itself was seeing a necessity or a need of having more vfx right because of um
it's kind of like you can't travel nowadays so i think vfx plays a huge part especially after the
the pandemic it i think vfx online everything became a little bit more digital and you know
let's see what he has to say about this this video is sponsored by f truck the creator of academy
award and emmy-winning production tracking and media review solutions for vfx and other creative
industries wow i'll tell you more about it at the end of this video and now let's talk about
india's vfx industry congratulations for those sponsorships the turning point
was in the 1990s when cgi computer generated imagery started gaining importance and that was
also noticed by the indian industry soon indian companies decided to advance themselves to match
with international competitors until recently everyone associated india with rotoscoping
it was the number one place for outsourcing this kind of work also interesting paint and cleanup
work which usually means wire removal and manually painting out unwanted objects was being sent to
india wow big vfx companies like the mentioned npc have established their branches in india to
have their own teams for such work also because of the currency exchange i think it's cheaper for
the united states and the uk for example to outsource uh vfx from
like india which is a smaller currency so i think that's that plays a big role
so india is exporting vfx however a gigantic film industry there's around 1800 films being
produced in india each year compared to around 700 made in hollywood that's only bollywood
um a thousand eight hundred from bollywood and then you have the other industries
all of the other movies as well well india has so many movies how can you guys watch all of them
it's impossible hollywood has 700 films per year and we don't watch um we don't watch a lot of them
but now bollywood has a thousand eight hundred let alone the other industries that is incredible
clearly developed a need for visual effects due to relatively lower budgets those effects had to be
created locally and so the studios began to merge the scene prime focus makuta vfx or red chiles are
just couple of examples of india's vfx powerhouses those companies are responsible for some amazing
effects created for indian films but they begin to spread on international productions red chiles is
one of the leading firms in the country that has now more than 300 artists working for them their
scope of work ranges from beauty work environments and set extensions creature creation simulations
their credits include some indian blockbusters but they also had a bite on international
productions like sin city 2 or league of gods i haven't seen league of cards is that any good
bro vfx is not just about film projects
commercials are today in demand for visual effects as well one of the leading firms named
famous studios claims to deliver 15 to 20 tv ads each month with heavy vfx work that is awesome
and not only is it in demand but man india has a very talented uh workforce for vfx i can tell
you i've seen the the recent movies you know like brahmastra even like you know um attack
these have awesome vfx rr you know shamshera also these are amazing amazing productions
even kgf had like a lot of gents you know a lot of vfx going into that amazing
along with the vfx industry the animation studios in india bloom
and companies like green gold animation or toons animation
are producing dozens of animated films and series for indian and international markets wow
india's vfx industry is quickly catching up with the latest technology trends
it's no different with the virtual production stages with led screens as originally used in
the production of mandalorian are being built in india and were used to continue producing
movies during the pandemic the mandalorian wow actually despite the massive impact of kobe 19
the animation industry in india grew by 10 in 2020 while the whole economy was going
down really i thought the economy would make it more productive because the i mean you know
the fact that you can't travel a lot makes the effects more important because i've seen so many
movies that were supposed to be in new york but they were filming in california for example
and in fact if if indian movies want to be set in new york they can do it without even leaving india
some of india's biggest films featuring heavy the effects work include bali bahubali
produced in 2015 with a budget of approximately 28 million dollars and 90 of the movie having
some kind of visual effects created by 17 vfx studios and around 600 artists
part of this film will be released a third part what this year nah
2022 bahubali 3 who told you that man who told you that 2.0 nice 2018 science fiction film being the
most expensive indian film so far with around 76 million dollars budget bro that's a lot of money
but it's still not effects it's not a lot for the u.s market like i think
the most expensive was maybe avatar too not sure maybe 400 million that's the most expensive
for the us negative and 22 other companies and animatronic effects by us-based legacy effects
known for avatar avengers or jurassic world that's actually kumar isn't it
zero i've seen the music video of zero romantic comedy for which the main actor's height
had to be reduced to around 137 centimeters okay yeah some effects were provided by red chili's tfx
all over the world has increased dramatically vfx studios were opening branches in different
parts of the world to catch up with the demand and to gain access to new artists
in the meantime vfx artists in india gained experience and we're now ready to move from
simple tasks to more demanding ones this is especially visible with double negative
the london-based vfx company was bought by indian prime focus in 2014. originally dnx indian offices
were taking over rotoscoping and cleanup work but recently we see that more complex work like
compositing or effect simulations are being done in their indian branches that was the case with
dune matrix resurrections matrix or the uncharted guys i haven't watched matrix resurrections yet
isn't it any good i haven't watched it i was going to watch it in the cinemas but you guys know i'm
very limited on time and either i am working or i am recording for youtube like right now i could
have gone and watched a movie by myself in the cinema but now i'm here recording because you know
i gotta post videos on youtube because i love it you know and this is as interesting as a movie um
also uncharted it's with uh spiderman what's his name
man i forgot his name right now that actor what is his name you know my my mind just
i'll remember don't worry tom holland see i remember uncharted right it's with tom holland
and mark wahlberg i think wow the rapid growth charter of india's vfx industry is also influenced
by government financial incentives and wider education possibilities with universities
offering vfx and animation studies some of the most known are annie brain school of media design
maac maya academy of advanced cinematics national institute of design or sanpit university
despite vfx industry growing constantly since the last decade the younger generation in
india and their parents are still facing difficulty getting out of the century-old
mindset of pursuing career in law government service engineering or healthcare but the
career trends are quickly changing visual effects industry gets more recognition and
starts offering good financial conditions junior vfx artists in india can earn around 150 to 350
us dollars per month mid-level artists can expect 400 to 800 dollars and senior vfx artists
earn up to around 1500 dollars per month okay so i don't know how much this is in india
um i normally times it by a hundred i think but i don't know how much that is is that a lot of money
um i think 100 1500 is around one lakh rupees is that a lot of money one lakh rupees because for me
this a thousand five hundred is like the minimum salary in the uk
you can't find any houses for less than a thousand five hundred here honestly
um a thousand five hundred dollars would be around a thousand two hundred british pounds you can't
find any houses like two bedrooms or you know you can't find or if like for rent it's very hard
it's very hard even one bedroom it's pretty hard um especially if you want to live closer to london
so that salary here is nothing unfortunately but i guess um if you are a senior artist living and
working here in the uk you would probably earn three thousand four thousand pounds probably
lead artists and supervisors salaries can be substantially higher
it looks like he's crying per guy india's tired now managed to grab 10 percent of
the global market and is expected to rise by 25 in 2025. india will definitely take
large chunk of world's vfx production however growing demand for visual effects and rising
salaries in india i don't think that we would see an outflow of jobs from europe or america
huge number of film and episodic productions for numerous streaming platforms
will simply create new opportunities for vfx artists around the world including india
now back to our sponsor f-truck f-truck solutions help everyone involved guys i'm not gonna play
this part um because you know it's it's just talking about the sponsor but that was a very
very educational video very interesting and you know i think that the the whole vfx industry
it's going to be over overtaken by india because india has a huge population a
talented workforce and you know you can't beat that because like in the us there are
a lot of people but not as much as in india in the uk they're much less people so i think
talented people will will be hired and india will probably overtake because they have so
many people willing to work and very talented you know and you know it's a growing industry
anyways this looked amazing you know the whole vfx i am very intrigued by this how and what people
can do with uh you know the vfx with a computer because i know that it's very very hard to
master a program but when you do you can do anything with it anything and
amazing vfx will get you um a little bit of hype like we see the the trailer bra master
it's a lot there's a lot of vfx and people are very hyped for it because it looks like
an awesome movie um and there are some some movies that are made with a very very humble
budget but the vfx look amazing because of the time and dedication that the workforce put into it
anyways guys let me know your thoughts do you think india will overtake the vfx industry
