Previs
Film previs turns the key scenes of your script into pictures before the shoot. The director, the DP, the producers and the financiers agree on the same scene, and the VFX budget is built on it.
Previs of the key scenes shows what the VFX money is for, before the figure is set.
Previs of the key scenes shows whether they fit the budget you already have, before the shoot.
Previs is where the VFX budget starts. This is how we keep it on track:
UMP: omit a shot or move it from 3D to 2D, and its price comes off the bid at once.
The bid follows the previs: every shot is priced on the work it needs, and when a scene changes, you see what changed in the budget.
From the first previs frame to delivery, every shot runs through our own tracking system with its status, versions and dates.
UMP: the planner levels the team, so fewer people carry the work by the same date.
What the previs settles, our planner turns into a schedule and a team around your dates and budget, re-planned if the scope changes.
UMP: each shot is made the most efficient way for it, so its price drops.
Each shot is made with the method that suits it, and the bid follows that choice.
Key scenes as pictures before the shoot, so the director, the producers and the financiers see the same scene.
The scenes with visual effects come first, as previs frames and shots.
Framing, scale and what is built on set are agreed early.
The VFX estimate follows the previs, so every figure has an image.
What the previs settles carries into the final shots, each made with the method that suits it.
It depends on how much of the film needs to be seen before the shoot. These are the things that move the figure:
Which key scenes need previs, and how many shots each one has.
Rough frames for decisions, or detailed frames for the pitch and the shoot.
Scenes where framing and scale must be exact take more work.
How many rounds of changes follow once the director and the DP see the frames.
The VFX budget, the pitch or the shoot plan, or all three.
The date of the pitch, the market or the shoot sets the pace.

Previs, short for previsualization and also written previz, shows the key scenes of a film as pictures before the shoot, so framing, scale and what is built on set can be agreed early.
A storyboard draws the shots. Previs shows the key VFX scenes with their framing and scale, so the team agrees on them and the VFX budget is built on the same pictures.
No. Send the script, and we prepare the previs frames of the key scenes and the VFX budget built on them.
No, previs is for decisions. The final shots come after it, each made with the method that suits it.
When the picture is agreed before the shoot, the budget is built on it, and fewer surprises reach post.
The scenes with visual effects come first: the ones that decide the budget, the shoot day and the pitch.
It depends on how many key scenes need previs, the level of detail, how exact framing and scale must be, the rounds of changes, what the previs is for and when you need it. You get previs of the key scenes with the VFX budget built on it.
