pre-visualization

Pre-visualization, or pre-viz, is the process of creating visual representations of a film, video, or project before actual production begins. It involves using sketches, storyboards, or digital models to map out scenes, camera angles, lighting, and action. This helps filmmakers plan the overall look, timing, and sequence of the project, saving time and resources during filming. Essentially, pre-viz provides a clear visual blueprint, allowing creators to make informed decisions, identify challenges early, and communicate their vision effectively to the entire production team.
