Akshay Kumar worked with Pankaj Tripathi in the film OMG 2.
The most important part of making a film is post-production. At this stage, work is done on elements such as editing, dubbing, sound mixing and VFX of the film. The king of this post-production is called the film editor. After the actor and the director, it is the editor who gives the right direction to the film.
In this episode of Reel to Real, we spoke to editor Suvir Nath and director Karan Guliani to understand the post-production process.
He explained that it takes 4 to 6 months to put together a film. However, it took 2 years to put together the OMG 2 movie. At the same time, there are many challenges that need to be faced during post-production. Post-production is often delayed due to reshoots and censorship boards, resulting in a significant increase in the film’s budget.
The editor plays the most important role in the post-production of the film. Before the editing of the film begins, there is a meeting between the editor and the director. During this meeting, the director explains his vision. After understanding the director’s vision, the editor begins editing.
The editor’s job is to give the story the right direction. Apart from the actor, director and producer, the editor also plays a major role in giving the right direction to the film. Editor Suvir Nath says: “I believe a film only takes its true form on the editing table.
Understand, a writer writes the story of a film with his vision. Then the director directs it with his vision, but when the footage gets to the editor, sometimes its quality is better from all angles, and sometimes the quality is very poor. In such a situation, the difficulties increase for the installer. It then becomes our responsibility to make the most of these same images.
It is the editor who decides which shot will be taken, where, when and how in the film. It can be said that an editor can make or spoil the hard work of an actor-director.
Edits were made in the OMG 2 movie as per the instructions of the Censor Board in 4-5 days. Suvir Nath edited the film OMG 2. Regarding the experience of working in this project, he said, “Working in this project was very difficult. In fact, the story of the film itself was different. In this, sex education was combined with religion. In general, Indians are conscious in the name of religion. Ultimately, there was some controversy.
Like the writer, I had the challenge of making the film seem sensitive but not vulgar. However, the biggest challenge came when instructions for many changes were given by the Censor Board. It was very difficult for me to maintain the emotion and dignity of the film with these changes.
Only 10 days passed between the Censor Board’s instructions and the release. But in reality I only had 4-5 days. Well, one way or another, that job has been completed.
Akshay Kumar’s film OMG 2 was put together in 2 years. Suvir Nath said that it usually takes more than 4 months to edit a film. It took him 2 years to put together the film OMG 2.
Post-production work is delayed due to reshoots, Suvir Nath said, as it often happens that once filming is completed, a part of the film has to be shot again. This should be done for reasons such as sound quality or image quality.
As certain scenes from the first season of the web series The Family Man were reshot. During editing, the need to improve these scenes was felt. In such a situation, these scenes were reshot so that the story progressed properly and the character development appeared correct.
These reshoots were done to improve quality, but this affected filming and post-production schedules.
Producers are taking action against image theft. Karan Guliani opened up about the Nayanthara and Dhanush controversy. Giving an example of this controversy, he explained: “The producer has the rights to every shot, music and melody used in the film. Even the rights to the images that remain after the film has been edited belong to the producer.
If someone uses these images without the permission of the producer, the producer can be accused of piracy. However, looking at the way Nayanthara and Dhanush’s argument is playing out in a 3-second visual, it shouldn’t have happened.
Whether it is in Hindi or Tamil, the dubbing of every film is different. Dubbing also plays an important role in the post-production of the film. Usually we see that Hollywood or South movies are dubbed in Hindi language for Hindi audience but do you know that Hindi language movies we watch are also dubbed. This means that whatever language the film is in, there will definitely be dubbing after editing.
The question now is why Hindi films are dubbed into Hindi or Tamil films into Tamil. Indeed, when filming a film, in addition to the voices of the actors, the surrounding sounds are also recorded in the camera and the microphone. Which makes no sense in the final exit and also ruins the scene.
For this reason, the original audio is cut off after the entire shot is completed for greater sound clarity. Then the actors double their voices depending on the scene. After that, the surrounding sound is created from Foley Sound.
Due to the delay in post-production, a lot of time was spent on visual effects and sound design during the post-production of the film Tumbbad, which was completed in 6 years. Due to this, the film’s release was delayed. Filming for the film began in 2012. Prosthetic makeup was used at that time, but without success. After that, another method was also used in 2015, but it also failed.
Ultimately, visual effects were used to depict the film’s monster (Hastar), leading to further delays. This process took a lot of time to create the jungle and monster scenes. However, when the film was released in 2018, the audience liked it a lot.
