From answering the phones at ILM to previs on The Phantom Menace, Alia Agha tells Ed Kramer how she became a “matchmove master” in CGI Fridays Episode 5. It's hardly surprising when Ed Kramer introduces us to someone with a hand in one of the landmark visual effects sequences in science fiction cinema. What is surprising is that when it comes to James Cameron's The Abyss (1989), Alia Agha literally had a hand in the eerie funnel of sentient water.

I'm a resourceful guy who was raised in San Francisco in a poor family. I have overcome many challenges and distinguished myself as an entrepreneur and leader, as well as an award-winning architect and a devoted father. I believe in focusing on the people and the process to generate the best products and outcomes. From my project work as an architectural student on scholarships at UC Berkeley and the University of Westminster to the many buildings that I have designed and now to my own 3D software company, I have devoted myself to user needs and customer needs. As a student I was awarded the two top prizes in my graduate program, including a fellowship to travel around the world for two years, during which I worked with architects in Rome and Budapest and immersed myself in foreign languages and cultures. In my practice as an architect, I earned a mid-career MBA degree. I combined my creative talent and business skills to lead teams on many landmark projects, including high-rise towers in SF, corporate HQ campuses in Silicon Valley and Marin County, hospitals across the US, university projects in California and Oregon, and a house for my family at the Sea Ranch on the Sonoma Coast. I'm fairly imaginative, so it happened that I had a dream in 2014 about creating a metaverse of digital twins, although I was totally ignorant of those terms and relatively tech-averse. I proceeded to become much more tech-friendly and to gradually build a team of amazing people who I support and cherish. In 2017, we began to work on our dream full-time, pivoting from our part-time work providing 3D modeling services to develop 3D software products to democratize the access for everyone to do 3D design and visualization themselves. We have made great progress, with granted patents, technology awards, launched products, and partnerships with companies including Siemens and Magic Leap. We're now focusing on AR subscription software for architectural design and construction. The journey continues!

What if your iPhone or iPad could be a a 3D tracking, previz, and virtual production tool? It can! Joshua Davies, the founder and CEO of FXhome, introduces us to CamTrackAR, their iOS/iPadOS app that does just that. You may have already had a taste if you watched Apple’s Spring Loaded event; CamTrackAR was one of the apps featured. Josh talks about why their appearance meant so much to him before digging in to that CamTrackAR can do for video creators who want to incorporate virtual backgrounds and 3D objects into their projects, and how it allows you to take your production workflow into the field.

In this week's Shoot the Breeze we are going to take at look the importance of previsualization, both as a training exercise and also as a routine part of your photography workflow. We talk about each stage in the process of planning your image and walk you through the practical steps necessary to capture the photograph as you see it through your mind's eye.
In this episode I talk about previsualization and how important it is to photography. Then I go a step further and get into what I call Intuitive Visualization. I’ll also share a few things and photos from my road trip through Arizona last weekend. Fun stuff. Photos from the Road All shots taken with […] The post Photography Matters Ep 54 – PreVisualization vs Intuitive Visualization appeared first on Photography Matters.
This week we spoke about Previsualization (also known as Visualization) with Sean Rourke, who edits previs for many major studio tentpoles. Unlike traditional picture editing, previs occurs during preproduction, and is used as a unique tool in film storytelling today. ----more---- Credits: Avengers: Infinity War, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Beauty and the Beast
Welcome to what I am tentatively calling “Pictures In Your Mind”. The idea is I describe in as much detail as possible an image in the hope you can visualize the image in your mind based on how i’m describing it. My goal with this is to help you think about the details in the images you plan on capturing or are capturing. I want you to hear what I am saying the settings are, what the lighting is, where the subject is, where the details are and build the picture in your mind all before I show you the image. It’s all about painting the picture in your mind, wether it’s my photo or a photo you want to capture or a photo that’s presenting itself. I hope you enjoy this mental exercise and I plan on doing more. You can find the photo I am describing at http://froknowsphoto.com/mind01
Can one take the perfect photo and what would it look like? This conceptual topic is rather subjective with part proven technique, part aesthetic sensibility and part gut instinct. Before you shoot, think for a second about what you are trying to say visually. There was a reason you reached for that camera, and what was it? I discuss on the podcast and traveloguecreator.com these points to improve your odds of getting a great image. What is the message? Where is the main point of interest? What kind of camera settings – shutter, aperture, ISO? What angle, lens perspective to use? How do I crop, is it a horizontal, vertical? What’s happening with the light, shadows, do I need a flash? How do I work the composition of colour, shape, lines, people, buildings…? Filters or effects, now or in the computer? And there is a free PDF handout to supplement this info even further on the site.
N4AL's Adron Buske talks with Robin Linn of The Third Floor, a previsualization studio that creates animatic storyboards for Hollywood film and commercial productions. Previs helps directors and producers pitch and plan films, saving money in the production by pre-planning shots, pacing and CGI needs. Robin is an artist manager, supervising, training, and recruiting animators for the Third Floor team. He has an extensive background in art, animation and film. But he started as a bank manager who only did sculpting as a hobby. Learn how a chance opportunity turned into a 25 year career in the film industry.
Previsualization is a critical part of any production's success. This week Brent speaks with Jahkeeli Garnett, Senior Previz Artist for all six seasons of Star Wars The Clone Wars, to learn how it's used, what you can gain and what you need to know to become one.
