Question 1

What is previsualization?

Accepted Answer

Previsualization — previz — is building a sequence as animation before it is shot, so staging, camera and timing can be judged and changed while changes are still cheap. It is standard practice on action, stunt and VFX-heavy work, and increasingly on anything with a complex schedule.

Question 2

What is the difference between previz, techviz and postviz?

Accepted Answer

Previz answers whether a sequence works. Techviz answers whether it can be physically shot, with specific equipment, on a specific stage. Postviz happens after the shoot, cutting real plates against temp CG so editorial and VFX are working from something that reads.

Question 3

When should previz start?

Accepted Answer

Early enough to change the schedule. Once locations are locked and the shooting order is set, previz becomes documentation rather than a design tool. Prep is the useful window.

Question 4

Why use Unreal Engine for previz?

Accepted Answer

Real-time means a director can watch a camera change happen rather than wait overnight for a render. It also means previz assets carry forward — the same environment can serve techviz, virtual scouting and, on some shows, final pixels.

Question 5

Do you work with productions outside Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Previz is remote-friendly by nature — sequences are reviewed as video and sessions run over screen share. We work with productions wherever they are shooting.

Question 6

How is previz priced?

Accepted Answer

By sequence, not by day rate. Scope depends on shot count, environment complexity and how many revision passes the production expects.
