The Content Congress witnessed significant success on its concluding day with major
sessions in place – such as ‘How to Create a YT Channel with the Help of AI,’ led by
Arjun Radhakrishna, Lead Senior Producer at Nas Daily Studios and ‘The Making of
VFX for a Film that has over 4,500 Visual Effects Shots,’ led by Asif Bhushan, from
Phantom Digital Effects.

Radhakrishna, guided participants through a summary of various artificial intelligence
(AI) tools that enhance video production processes. From idea research and
scriptwriting to film production and editing, attendees were taken on a comprehensive
journey that ended up offering them key insights into the applications of AI, as well as
the creation of a YouTube channel.

Senior Creative Head Bhushan shed light into the role of VFX in creating an exceptional
visual experience. The session assessed the film ‘Ayalaan,’ which required a
collaborative and meticulous process of combining creativity and technology to bring the
film’s vision to life. The movie featured more than 4,500 visual effects shots, which is
the most recorded for an Indian film.
