EyeQube Studios Pvt.
Ltd., a joint venture between Eros International Plc and Charles Darby, announced on April 15
that the state-of-the-art visual effect studio in Mumbai has commenced
operations. The company has officially begun its work on the much-awaited
films, Aladin and Drona. A slate of other feature film
work will be announced within the next few months.
Meanwhile, EyeQube continues its enormous recruitment drive
to help service its vast amount of production work over the coming months and
years. Spread across an area of 20,000 square feet, the studio has one of the
best facilities for visual effects in India with the latest state of the
art hardware and software. The company will be utilizing both Auto Desk�s Maya
for 3D and the foundry�s Nuke, as it�s primary composite program.
Charles Darby, Creative Director of EyeQube and Senior
Visual Effects Supervisor said, �I�m
extremely proud to see EyeQube open it�s doors and although we have a fabulous
set-up technically, I�m most proud to
see a facility that feels creative and approaches the work in a more artistic manner. EyeQube is
an ideas factory, we make possibilities and that�s where our future lays. We will develop each show we come into
contact with and really harness
India�s
untapped potential, it�s artists, whilst giving them a strict production
structure. This year we will be
unwrapping a number of really exciting new projects and every one of them is a wonderful opportunity
for us to do something new.�
�Six months ago, we
announced the launch of a spectacular dream � a state-of-the-art visual effects facility in India promising to position Indian films on par
with the best in Hollywood. Today, we are very pleased to announce the
dream has formally been given shape
in the form of EyeQube Studios. Following Aladin and Drona, through EyeQube
we aim to announce shortly several
more exciting content driven projects with a belief in taking Indian cinema to new heights�,
added Sunil Lulla, President, Eros International, India.
EyeQube will produce not only Indian films with high-end
visual effects, but also be selectively involved with a few prestigious
international projects. The company will primarily handle visual effects for
all of Eros International�s top-end productions and co-Productions.
Hoping the studios finally opens up and becomes a boon for
Indian Cinema!
