08 / Before we begin
Behind the illusion.
The practical details behind the impossible.
Can you join an existing VFX pipeline?
Start with your shot list, asset specifications and delivery requirements so the production approach can be scoped around your team.
Do we need a finished character design?
A brief, visual references and intended use are enough to begin a conversation about design, scanning and development.
What should a production brief include?
Share the creative treatment, required characters, shot count, formats and target dates. These help define scope before scheduling.
Can we start with a focused asset or sequence?
Yes. Describe the asset or shots you need, their intended use and the level of detail required. We can discuss a focused production scope.
