I welcome Elliot Newman, EFX Supervisor for the groundbreaking series Prehistoric Planet. Elliot shares his experiences working on this challenging, three-year-long project that aims to bring the prehistoric world to life in a documentary-style setting. From matching real water properties to animating deep snow scenes and building 58 new dinosaurs, Elliot and his team faced a host of technical and procedural challenges. Join the conversation as he discusses the use of visual effects and virtual production techniques in creating realistic environments, and how the team managed to blend real location photography with CGI assets for a seamless viewer experience. Elliot also shares his insights on the role of previsualization, refining processes, and much more. So, get ready for a fascinating deep dive into the world of virtual production and visual effects!
Elliot Newman
"Previs is kind of the starting point. The storyboards give you a sort of rough idea, the previs gives you a slightly better rough idea, but that kind of really informs the story that you're trying to go for. So it kind of gave us the grounding
then to say, okay, we know the type of location. It's a snowy environment, or it's a desert scene."
