Previsualisation (previs) has become a useful tool that makes it cheaper and easier to experiment in the preproduction phase. By working up a film demo, the director can take decisions around framing, lighting and special effects before going into production. S/he can also use the demo to share the vision with the team, the production crew or a client. It is thus also a useful and very precise planning tool for filming.

How can we navigate between the various tools and methods on offer when we often lack the time to experiment on a production? This seminar offers an opportunity to test different tools in the company of two previs specialists. Practical workshops and case studies will enable participants to make up their own minds and find the ways of working that suit them.
