One shot, step by step.

What we are after: a previs the DP can show the director.

A 15-minute call. You send us what needs solving in the shot, measurements of the space or photos with a measuring reference in view, the planned camera and lenses, the actors’ heights and their marks, and the gear you have. If it’s a screen-direction (axis) problem, also the shot before and the shot after.

We block out your space in 3D, to scale, from the measurements you give us: tape, floor plan or photos with a known reference. Anything missing is flagged as pending, never guessed. If the set doesn’t exist yet, we build it from the art department’s plans.

Each character is a simple figure at their real height. They move as the script says: where they enter, where they stop, how long it takes.

With your camera, sensor and lenses, we test the moves you ask for and the ones we suggest. We rule out those that don’t fit the space or can’t be shot with your gear, and tell you why.

Basic motivated light, so the shot reads: where it comes from and what color. If there is sun, we use the direction you give us; we don’t compute its position from date and time. It is not a lighting plan; that’s the DP’s call.

Not available in the pilot. Later, and only if you ask for it and authorize it in writing, the chosen shot may go through AI video to show the crew the intent. It may change composition and movement: no continuity or measurements are promised. It will be labelled as a synthetic demo and quoted separately; the measurements come from the 3D.

You get the decision sheet as PNG and PDF (A4 landscape): three solutions with floor plan, focal length, height, distance, gear and what each one gives up, plus the discarded options and why. With it, one clip per solution, each solution’s floor plan as PNG and the Blender block file with the cameras. One round of changes is included. The sequence animatic is in development and not included in the pilot.

A sequence with camera, space and timing decided before the shoot.
