Framestore: The World of Visual Effects
7th Nov | 13:00pm | Yorkshire Museum
What happens before a director calls for lights, camera, action? Michelle gives insights into visualisation, and how the techniques of previs, techvis, and postvis help solve creative and technical problems, give a film’s director proof of concept, and help avoid costly errors and re-shoots. She’ll share her expertise and talk through how these different techniques were used in The Last of Us, Loki and Foundation contributing to the stunning and lasting impact of the final scenes.
