I use a pre-vis tool called Cine Designer to visualize, plan, and communicate a production's cinematography through 3D rendering. This approach helps save time and money on production days, ensuring everything is mapped out in advance. It also allows us to communicate lighting styles and concepts to clients and agencies before shooting begins, so we're all aligned from the start.
For more complex shots, we can map out intricate camera moves and positions in pre-production, which helps avoid last-minute surprises. Additionally, the detailed plans created can be shared with various production departments, ensuring smooth collaboration throughout the process.
