Pre-production Services
Our pre-production services division enables film-makers and showrunners to make early-stage, creative decisions that can then guide their entire production.
We have over a hundred creatives, technologists and producers working across concept art, previsualisation, virtual production, in-camera VFX (ICVFX), techvis and postvis.
This unique pool of world-class minds and skills allow us to serve as true creative collaborators, whether the production in question requires initial character design, logistical assistance for a single complex sequence or a ‘beginning to end’ offer that begins with concept art and culminates in our award-winning final VFX.
FPS provides on set supervision and teams for all aspects of virtual production; this ranges from lightweight AR tools used to roughly block set and crowd extensions to running highly complex LED volumes for in-camera compositing.
Virtual Production is an umbrella term for a spectrum of computer-aided production and visualization filmmaking methods which combine virtual and augmented reality with CGI and game-engine technologies to enable production crews to see their scenes unfold as they are composed and captured on set.
Framestore's renowned Art Department is a fully integrated part of our wider pre-production offer. As such, we are able to visualise early-stage designs for all types of creative assets.
