You are constantly making decisions on project that will impact every aspect of the running of the project. Unfortunately you cannot consult your entire CG and VFX team at every point you have to make a decision nor can you take them to every meeting with your client to negotiate deliverables. You as a film maker will need to make quick fast decisions on set that will have huge ramifications further down the line in your post production process. The choices you make will determine both the quality of the final piece and its timely delivery. When budgets are limited you need to know how the VFX and CG pipeline in your project works. VFX and CG Survival Guide for Producers and Film makers is the first and (currently) only book that looks at the creation and implementation of complex Visual Effects, CGI and computer animation from the unique viewpoint of a producer and film maker. This book - goes beyond theory - offers an in-depth analysis of the process involved using real life examples - examines the unique considerations faced by a producer and film maker of every part of the VFX and CG pipeline - is fully illustrated and contains a number of worked examples- will show you how to manage the VFX process regardless of what budget you are working with- covers the different considerations you need to know about across film, games, TV and live events.No other book is currently offering this.
