A movie rich in culture, Malik, a Malayalam political thriller film that spans the lifetime of one man, Sulaiman Ali, the revolutionary leader of a coastal village in Kerala (India).
The storyline taking place in 3 different timeline, Malik presented us a challenge to recreate 3 different eras. Understanding 3 different historical periods and their cultural contrast throughout the time period , as well as recreating the environment in CG, is something we take pride in. The study of religious cultures surrounding Trivandrum’s coastal areas over nearly 5 decades was critical for the film’s VFX. For us, it was worthwhile investigating the changes in cultural distinctions that had an influence on building designs. The film presented us with a super-complex cleanup and a 9.5 minute opening scene for which we merged 8 shots together and added additional background components to make it appear like a single shot.
