Previs is the process of imagining and planning a final product. The previs team works with a client or director to quickly create an idea of what cameras, performances, effects, stunts, etc. may be needed for them to film.
It’s a faster, and less expensive, way to premake a film or sequence so they have a visual blueprint of the final product. It also gives the client the ability to make changes before they even start to film.
These two pieces are two perspectives of an invasion of a space ship, from the protagonist's and antagonist's point of view. This is based of a chapter in the book "A long way to a small angry planet" where pirates are invading a spaceship.
The first perspective is from the point of view of the Wayfayer Crew (the protagonists). They are travelling and about to pick up a mission when suddently their ship gets invaded by pirates out of nowhere. They don't know how to react to these invaders and the captain of the ship gets too confronation to the pirates, who don't speak the same language as the crew and it causes a fight.
The second perspectives is on the Akaraks, who are shown as the pirates but we get to see that they are just invading the ship for resources but are unable to communicate with the people on the ship as they don't speak the same language.
The focus of this project was on the cinematography of the shots and working out how I wanted to tell the story through lighting and camera work.
