Pre-Visualization System v (also known as pre-vis, pre viz, pre-viz, previs, or animatics) is a technique in which low-cost digital technology aids the filmmaking process. £ £ £ the usage of a Pre-Visualization system can essentially support and facilitate most parts of any audiovisual but especially movie production such as the storyboard, conceptual arts, action design, photography direction, art direction, location hunting and the direction of dresses, sets and make up. As a first step to U-cinema, pre-vis is the key technology(or solution) and has become an essential tool for large scale film production.
