PREVIS + POSTVIS
Visualisation and VFX planning is one of our superpowers
From animatics and previs, to virtual scouting, and high end postvis, the team are well equipped to solve creative and technical problems, often saving huge costs to productions.
Quality CG assets are essential to our pipeline.
Our talented CG team build incredible models which plug into every stage of a project. We work hand in hand with the art department and VFX to creatively manage and use these assets in concept, previs, postvis, virtual production and post. We’ve even seen our CG assets used in main titles and merchandise.
Previs has become an essential part of a director’s creative and technical process. It can also play a huge role in helping the art & VFX departments in their planning. With our CG assets in place, our previs team works with the director on animation, layout and camera, allowing them to test every shot before they’ve even taken a step on set.
Now we know what we’re shooting, the next question is usually how? Out techvis team will take into account the designed sequences and all the practicalities available on set, and how the shots will be achieved. This information is usually imperative in bringing these shots into the VFX pipeline later.
Shooting in a muddy quarry, that’s 4 hours away? Building a set almost entirely in VFX? No problem. We visualise many of our sets and environments through VR and real time rendering. This has proven to be an essential tool for not only directors, and VFX Supervisors, but departments such as set decoration, and even cast.
Closing the loop on all of our work to this point, concepts, previs and CG assets – postvis is the perfect send off to final pixel work in VFX. Set extensions, matte paintings and CG builds are designed, approved and seen in the cut before the costly VFX process begins.
