02VP Services

Services that offer more creative control.

Better collaboration, too. Working in real time lets directors and cinematographers change lighting, adjust environments and move virtual set pieces, with the results visible immediately instead of waiting for post.

Better for the cast. Better for the crew.

Working in real time makes it easier to try different ideas and make creative changes on the spot. Actors can see and react to the world around them, which helps them give more natural, believable performances.

At the same time, the entire crew can see what the final shot is meant to look like. Departments work together, solve problems faster and contribute to the final image while the shoot is still happening.

Service 01

Previsualization

Our team of senior cinematic directors, Unreal artists, technical animators, cinematographers and production specialists has developed a highly streamlined previz pipeline. It sharpens creative shot sequences for powerful results.

Better still, our previz generates precise data for efficient techviz, Simulcam and VFX shot production.

Technical visualization

Techviz simulates production scenarios on set before the shoot, with mockups. Our team uses digital doubles of cameras, light designs, rigs and stunt cams to simulate on set shot production with high accuracy, supporting critical creative decisions, especially on large scale productions.

  • Crane and rig plans
  • Lighting plots
  • Stunt cams

AI integration

Our AI content production team has a comprehensive understanding of generative AI pipelines and deep expertise in AI tools. We're especially good at integrating AI and live action with VFX and CGI.

Built on our foundations in 3D and filmmaking, we merge AI with traditional previz techniques: hybrid AI workflows with genuinely new creative possibilities.

Environment scanning

LiDAR, photogrammetry and Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) supply the Virtual Art Department with the high fidelity real world data needed for accurate digital doubles.

These workflows enable the virtual restoration of physical sets and production ready assets for previz, techviz and VFX, so real world environments stay available through the whole production, from development to final pixel.

Simulcam

Simulcam on set lets directors and cinematographers see virtual backgrounds and effects integrated with live action performances, in real time. We use streamlined previz datasets tailored for the set.

Tracking ranges from standard motion capture volumes to bespoke configurations designed for the scale of your production, and we can provide comprehensive VFX visualisation on set.
