Some bottle elements in the backgrounds were real-life shots, but around 30 more were added by a team of Flame artists at The Mill. Because the cinema short had to be made at HD resolution it required a lot of detailed work, including degrading the footage and inserting film breaks and weaves. Original Bollywood movie footage was thoroughly researched before the team did a second grade to match the vintage material. They enhanced the Bollywood look by using a digital pro-mist filter effect for the dream sequence, tracking and compositing theatrical moonlit skies for the jail breakout, and creating CG birds to fly over the palace.
