Zero is a surreal world wherein the souls of lonely women traipsed around. The dream world surpassed imagination yet the essence of it was hidden deep within every person’s heart. The brief was to make the landscape vile and repugnant. It was certainly challenging to arrive at a design which was the perfect harmony of beauty and grotesque.
Thus, the VFX production was created. While I was working on the design, I adopted Shiv’s methodology and used Nivas’ music as a muse. The music helped set the tone for the design. The dreamland was supposed to have green clouds which insinuated vengeance and revenge. The whole idea of the dreamland was a giant tree situated in the middle of a long stretch of grassy land with a pond, where women were stranded. The protagonist Bala had to save them and bring them back to their home.
