Project Workflows and Timeline

See the process our team follows to take the idea for a property and transform it into a visual experience through films and images.

 

Film Workflow


1. FILM PREPARATION

3D MODELING
  • Create 3D model

  • Site work in areas visible as defined in project scope

  • Detailing on building, site and landscape

  • Create and apply materials

  • Determining staging style

PLANNING
  • Determining length of the film

  • Determining aspect ratio of the film

  • Creation of a reverse schedule

  • Development of video style based on project target market provided by Client

AUDIO
  • Soundtrack research

  • Soundtrack validation

  • Soundtrack licensing

IMAGE
  • Location scouting of the 3D project

  • Development and listing of image shots

  • Stock footage research (if necessary)

  • Shooting tests of the 3D project

2. FILM PRODUCTION

IMAGE
  • Shooting sessions of the 3D project (low resolution)

  • Shots rendering

  • Editing process preparation and files conversion

  • Shots editing

  • Special effects conception based on stock footage

  • Pre-color correction

AUDIO
  • Edit soundtrack

  • Research sound effects

  • Edit sound effects

  • Mix pre-sound

EXPORTS
  • Render of Work In Progress

  • Export in H.264 720p of Work In Progress

  • Upload of Work In Progress in a Google Drive folder

  • First client review and feedback

  • Render of version 2

  • Export in H.264 720p of version 2

  • Second Client review

  • Final approval by Client

3. FILM VALIDATION & READY-TO-BROADCAST

IMAGE
  • Refine the video shots

  • Complex material adjustments

  • Complex lighting adjustments

  • Complex color adjustments

  • Resolve glitches

  • Render of final video shots

  • Update video with final renders

AUDIO
  • Fine tune sound mixing

  • Fine tune soundtrack

EXPORTS
  • Export in H.264 native and compressed formats (720p & 1080p resolution will be provided, 4K resolution available at an additional fee)

  • Upload of the native and compressed files on a cloud-based file transfer service

  • Upload of final video in a Google Drive folder

Image Renderings Workflow


1. 3D MODEL REFINEMENTS

  • Check Client-provided 3D model for accuracy

  • Create 3D model from 2D drawings OR refine provided 3D model

  • Develop site in visible areas as defined in project scope

  • Corrections and refinements

  • Set up preliminary materials

  • Prepare data & transfer to rendering program

2. DRAFT RENDERINGS

  • Model lighting and shadows

  • Map and refine primary materials

  • Create primary landscaping

  • Set up camera location

  • Define image format ratio

  • Send out to Client for first review

  • Refine view

  • Send out to Client for second review

  • Refine view (if needed)

  • Final approval by Client

3. FINAL RENDERINGS

  • Layout and special effects on 2D people

  • Adjust materials, reflectivity, and mapping

  • Fine tune sky, clouds

  • Create and refine supportive landscaping

  • Make complex color and lighting adjustments

  • Develop final special effects
