Aditya Sarpotdar`s Zombivli has really left us all excited about the film. In an exclusive chat with mid-day.com, the director shared how the team locked the look of the characters, what went after the entire process to make the zombies in the film look more realistic and how they Indianized the monsters on-screen. In an interaction, Aditya also revealed how the makeup artist Yasmin Rodgers, who has her own expertise in prosthetics and special makeup with effects, was finalised for the film. He also mentioned how the DoP, Lawrence Alex Dcunha played an important role to merge the comic parts in this horror project.
Aditya was quoted saying, "Now that we had decided to make a Zombie film, I think there were two important factors in this to make the whole film look more real and more interesting. I think the makeup and the way you light and use the camera. So, when we had to get two HOD`s in these departments, it was important to have people who are new, who have experimented in this space and who understand the genre. "
The director further added, "Yasmin Rodgers is the makeup artist who has designed this look. We selected her because she has worked extensively on prosthetics, she has expertise in special makeup and makeup effects. So we got her on-board and we shared the ideas of how our zombie should look. Because there is if you see in the kind of Zombie films that are Korean films as opposed to American films, the interpretation of how a Zombie is presented is different."
