Continuing to win hearts of audiences across the country by bringing alive the story of the deity Ganesha, Contiloe Pictures’ Vighnaharta Ganesh completes a year along with 262 episodes, today.
Airing on Sony Pictures Entertainment, Vighnaharta Ganesh is the first show in India that brought motion capture technology on television. It showcases Ganesha’s journey by presenting a visual extravaganza with commendable production design, costumes and ingenious audio-visual experience through motion capture technology.
This technology helps replace the age old depiction of Lord Ganesha with an inert mask and bring alive the detailed life-like movements and facial expressions to the fore giving the viewers a delightful visual treat.
Commenting on this success, Contiloe Pictures founder and CEO Abhimanyu Singh said, “We have always used technology to tell stories in a bigger and better manner. Using motion capture technology on a daily basis has been one of the greatest challenge and I am grateful to my team on planning and executing this huge task. Needless to say that the creative team at Contiloe Pictures has taken great pain in researching and telling us some fantastic untold stories about Lord Ganesha. I thank the audience for the love and appreciation they have shown to our show. Our focus on identifying the future of Indian television and understanding the need of bringing better technology has worked for us.”
Vighnaharta Ganesh reiterates the producer’s strength in telling some great historical and mythological stories to a new-age audience. Contiloe Pictures uses motion capture technology in each episode and have been the first production house in the world to use this technology on a daily basis, for 262 episodes straight within a year.
This magnum opus is supported by a stellar star-cast that includes Akanksha Puri as Parvati, Malkhan Singh as Shiv, Basant Bhatt as Kartikeya and Anand Garodia as Narada Muni.
