PRE-VISUALIZATION FOR FILM WITH JASON MICHAEL HALL setting up your first shot

 In previz the camera is the most important part, especially when you are blocking out, adding facial details like expressions will occur further on the production line, so in essence, it is a waste of time to focus on polished animation at this stage such as torso movements, it's better to move the base CTRL instead of just the waist, a previz artist is building the foundation and are not the final animator, it is essential to remember this. Another critical tool to remember is space and perspective, to make the character focus less colour/detail is used so they are easily readable.

As displayed in my blog posts by me, I did have to look at Youtube for help, and I was honest with that to help me improve on unfamiliar equipment.
