Inspiration. Reference site. Reference. DI Process. Andrew Whitehurst . Net. I get asked a lot of questions about how a VFX studio is structured and what each department does. This not entirely surprising as there are many departments with a great deal of interdependence and they often have names which are unhelpful to the layperson. What I'm going to try and do in this article is to go through the stages of production, what they mean and then look at each department in a facility, where they fit into the schedule, what they do and who they deal with.

Let's get started: An empty slate This blank canvas represents the cycle of a film, from earliest days on the project on the left to final output on the right. There are three key phases of any film's production so let's get them blocked in first.

If you stay in the software you're fine but if you're switching between a lot of different applications I've occasionally lost the link between 3cP and the Matrox.

Also, a better set of Look Management tools ala' LinkColor or SpeedGrade would be fantastic. The ability to store and quickly recall looks is incredibly useful and is sorely missing in 3cP. It's really a fairly expansive software and I'm just glossing the surface of what it can do so for a more in-depth description of functionality, please refer to Gamma & Density's site. Cine-Tal Monitor + SpeedGrade OnSet Cine-tal owners swear by them. Technicolor's DP Lights System Filmlight's Truelight System Earlier I mentioned that Log exposures are pretty forgiving. This was my process:
