"Statement of Pankaj Khandpur, ex- Creative Director, Western Outdoor, Mumbai.

My name is Pankaj Khandpur, and I was the Visual Effects Supervisor, on behalf of Western Outdoor, on the feature film Lagaan, produced by Aamir Khan Productions in 2000-01. Our function was to provide visual effects and post- production inputs to the film (computer generated clouds, moon, stars, period restoration, credit titles etc.) R/SCR.A/684/2008 JUDGMENT For the deed shots in the film, we selected existing 'stock' footage of deer from a few film libraries in UK, via the Laboratory in London used by us for the film. These shots were scanned digitally in London, and were then color-corrected and edited, or inserted, into the shots of the actors from the film. This was done by us in our Studio in Bombay, and re-output as a complete sequence on film negative in London. This new negative was delivered by us to the Producer of Laggan.
