Previz Technical Artist on Sentimental Value, Joachim Trier's Cannes Grand Prix-winning feature. working in Blender and Pixera to previsualise a virtual production setup of 440 LED panels, 110 square metres in total, spread across four screens: two static walls and two wild walls on wheels.
My job was working out exactly where and how each screen needed to sit for every shot. The wild walls could be repositioned between setups, which kept costs down by only needing a screen where a shot actually required one. it meant the planning had to be precise, working out in detail which screen would be in which position.
Every camera movement had to match the shots already established, with each screen staying fully visible through the window at the correct focal length throughout.
