Pilot Project of IAI : Pre-Pilot Project of IAI : Pre-visualizationvisualization

Motivation ( Mission ) In terms of Nation : Film industry is one of the future key driving

industries of the domestic industry In terms of District : the authorities of the Busan Metropolitan City have

appointed the film industry as one of their four major strategic driving forces.

Environment of film industry changing from 35mm Analog film to DI(Digital Intermediate)

Overall stage of Pre-production, Main production, Post production Projection is done by cable network ( film = cinema, not any more )

Pre-Visualization SystemPre-Visualization System (also known as pre-vis, 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.

While a pre-visualizing system can economize huge amounts of time and money by simulating movie-making processes in advance, in an earliest stage it can also be a key-element for finding investors by presenting the movie outline in motion pictures.
