Now a core member of Framestore Pre-production Services (FPS), Michelle began her career at Nvizage, where she progressed quickly from asset builder to visualisation supervisor. In 2011 she moved to The Third Floor London, where she supervised all aspects of previs, postvis and techvis across film, TV and commercial projects.

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.
