Previsualization (Previz) is the process of planning and visually mapping out a film or commercial before production begins. Acting as an elevated form of storyboarding, previz helps plan scenes shot-by-shot and frame-by-frame, including camera angles, movement, composition, pacing, and lighting direction. Using Unreal Engine, I create highly detailed cinematic previz sequences that serve as a visual guide for directors, cinematographers, production teams, and clients to fully understand the intended look and flow of a project prior to filming.

Below is an example of a highly detailed previz created in Unreal Engine for an ANA anniversary celebration short film. Developed side-by-side with the director, the project utilized cinematic lighting, camera movement, environmental design, and scene-by-scene visual planning to establish the film’s tone, pacing, and overall visual direction ahead of production.
