Full 3D Previs
Previsualization ('previs') is crucial for film and TV production, enabling early design, planning, and understanding of shots. It utilizes 3D imagery, a bespoke pipeline, and digital tools to iterate staging, lighting, and camera options without actual production costs. Previs, including 'Pitchvis,' helps secure studio support and investor interest by creating dynamic visual material showcasing creative intent, bridging the gap from concept to tangible product. It's a valuable service embraced by our Hyperbowl Team.

Techvis is the process of planning complex shots using virtual elements and real-world equipment. It enhances coordination between production departments, ensuring accurate camera moves, placement, and lens choices. Techvis saves time, reduces costs, and mitigates risks, making it an invaluable service for studios and filmmakers.
