About the Project

Kurup had about 40 minutes of visual effects by Mindstein Studios. The film's story takes the viewer through many decades starting from the 1960s. Visual effects requirements for this film (shot in 2019, 2020 and 2021) ranged from CG time-period elements and re-painting to beautification of landscapes and set extensions.

Every shot containing the cruise liner Royal Viking Sea was rendered using the digital 3D model, created and rendered by Mindstein studios.
