unfortunately its rare that the production sticks to the stunt viz, in my 27 years plus of doing stunts both my own and knowing other stunt teams, maybe 20% of the stuff gets used. most of the time production love the previz then shoot and edit it their own way which completely changes (ruins) the OG product? will they ever learn?
For years I have been searching for this kind of info, specifically from the stunt choreography end. You are the only one that I have found. I've been using intelligent ragdoll simulation with program called Endorphin so I wanted to do Digital Doubles with Pre-Vis and Mocap. However it's not easy to come up with ideas and choreography when you dont' know stunts. After years, I'm becoming more accustomed to it since I"m starting to write scripts, and Storyboards. I would love to see how you come up with choreography for fight scenes. I bought a OptiTrack mocap system when they first came out in 2008 but wound up using Vicon at a mocap lab. I edit in MotionBuilder and starting to use Houdini. I would have liked to get into that business but it seems so specialized and hands on. However, if I can be of assistance let me know. Thanks.
Wonderfully insightful, thanks very much! As a stunt performer in LA hoping to put together previz videos in the future, I had a question. When organizing the camera work, how often are you thinking of the DP and how he’s going to shoot on the day? Do you do whatever works for the sequence, and let the DP give it his own flair? Or do you shoot wider coverage, and let the DP control the coverage? Or does it depend project to project? Thanks!
You know, that's a really great question, and something that could be the subject of a video on its own. The short answer: when shooting previz, I find myself under such time constraints that most of the time, coverage really isn't an option -- I'm shooting for the edit (although whenever possible, if I can have someone on a B cam getting alternate angles, I will). With that having been said, I try to anticipate what the DP is going to want to do, as doing so will save a lot of headaches on the day in terms of re-choreographing things because the DP wants a reverse key light or that kind of thing. Of course, that assumes that a set already exists at the time you're designing the fight and shooting the viz!
@@davemacomber1035 Thanks very much, good to know! I 100% subscribe to the attitude that if you know how the other parts of the machine work, then you can be that much more prepared to collaborate (hence why I want to know where the DP is coming from). Thanks for your response, and your videos!
Thanks for this Dave!
Awesome video Dave with important information. Thank you!
