For example, locking down to standard focal length lenses was a good call.<\/li><li>The scene the team is building based on the se7en script looks good. It&#8217;s hitting a good balance of being just&nbsp;good enough along all the dimensions of the pipeline: models are just detailed enough, animation reads well enough, and camera shots look good.<\/li><li>Shaky hand held cam isn&#8217;t helpful. Should have equivalent of at least a gimble&nbsp;or steadicam&nbsp;dampening for basic cam; real cameras are heavy and move slowly. Pro previz systems all have real camera mounting systems modeled in so that the camera moves realistically. <\/li><li>Find a way to share the entire pipeline. There\u2019s a big difference between doing a single animation in isolation and working with an asset list and building a library of animation clips. Tie this complete pipeline to the larger perspective of filmmaking.<\/li><li>Clarify the audience and context for this tool. Using the lens of a \u201csmall previz studio\u201d is a good direction. We suggested creating a sample budget for what it would cost to do previz for a film. That would quickly narrow down who their customers would be and how this service might be used. Be clear about the filmmaking process this will connect with.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this week, we held a soft opening over Zoom with a faculty group consisted of Dave, Brenda, Heather and Carl to share our progress and gather feedback.
