previsualization

Previsualization, or previs, is the process filmmakers and artists use to create a rough visual outline of a project before filming begins. It involves developing sketches, storyboards, or digital mock-ups to visualize scenes, camera angles, and overall flow. This helps the creative team plan the production efficiently, identify potential issues early, and communicate ideas clearly. Previs acts as a blueprint, ensuring everyone has a shared understanding of the vision, which saves time and resources during filming and post-production. It is a crucial step in translating a script into a compelling visual story.
