Pre-Vis - Vivo

Here is an edit to show the progress from storyboards created by James Baxter to pre-vis to final.
You can see how at each step the sequence is iterated and validated to focus on what contributes most to the storytelling.

"Got No Game" was a complex musical sequence that had many location changes, costume changes, props, and characters not seen anywhere else in the film. The main goal with this sequence was to provide an example of how pre-vis could be used to simplify the asset build and scope of a complex sequence.

This particular part of "My Own Drum" takes place in a very busy "80-90s" style background. The question here was how can big camera translations and multiple layers of shapes affect how far from camera we can place shapes and how much do we need to build to get parallax that isn't a distraction yet remains interesting.
