To best prepare for an action sequence – be it a chase, a fight or an explosion – several pre-shoot rehearsals with the stunt performers are essential. The purpose of these rehearsals, supervised by a coordinator, is to optimize safety and plan the angles from which the actors will be filmed.
Previz.
Our team’s job is to film and edit these rehearsals in line with the director’s artistic vision. The resulting video, called a previz, aims to maximize the shoot’s efficiency by offering an overview of the sequence. Each shot list will be explained in detail, so that the respective technical resources can be planned. The artists will thus have an overview of the sequence, giving them a clearer idea of their contributions. Besides ensuring every participant’s safety, this structured approach also helps deliver high-impact action scenes.
