Computer generated cityscape
The story of Rubis takes place in the USA during the forties, we had to find a solution for our outdoor sets. Shooting Delhi and pretending it's an american city is just impossible, so we decided to create the sets in CG (Computer Generated).
A team met weekly for one hour, creating a cityscape during a period of 7 months. As we write this post, computers are generating the rendered pictures, a process that takes hours. Everything is calculated: light, shadows, reflection effects, textures in order to create an environment.
The result is a combination between recreation of real american buildings (Empire State) and personal creations from the team.
We made a lot of researches and some movies like Metropolis (Fritz Lang), King Kong (the Peter Jackson one) or Maltese Falcon (John Huston) gave inspiration for organizing the city and shooting it.
We are sure you're now impatient to see the result, but we keep it secret until the premiere.

Making of #2
Allons faire un tour dans les coulisses de Rubis, département costumes et maquillage.
Préparer un acteur avant de tourner demande du temps et beaucoup de soins. Le maquillage est conçu pour refléter la personnalité du personnage. Il permet aussi de simuler les ecchymoses car non, contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait croire, on ne frappe pas les acteurs.

Les costumes, pour un film se situant à une autre époque, demandent eux aussi réflexions. Les costumes des personnages masculins ont été taillés sur mesure tandis que les costumes féminins proviennent de la collection de Michèle Boulesteix.

Translation
This year, EFD Studio is working for the first time on the english translation of the movie. The script translation is on the process. One of technical challenge we face is to include the subtitles on the dvd with the choice to put them on or not.
Subtitles are not only a text document, we have to organize them precisely in order to make them appear at the right time and for the right duration.
As the premiere of Rubis is in less than one month and there is still a great amount of work to do, we sincerely hope we will manage to fulfill this desire of being understood by non french speaking persons.
