What is Previs?
Short for pre-visualization: rough versions of shots made before the real shoot to test framing, timing and camera moves. Teams now often generate previs with AI video tools.
rough shot first · real shoot later
In real work
The director cut a rough previs of the car chase from Sora clips, and it showed the crane shot was not worth a full day of the shoot budget.
In the illustration
The tiny crane swings over the toy car while the monitor plays the rough shot at the planned lens and timing, long before any crew is booked.
Make a rough previs of the car chase in your creative tool: six shots at the planned lens and timing, including the crane move, so we can judge it before booking crew.
