Gondry-fying The Green Hornet
Michel Gondry’s signature filmmaking touches are ever-abundant in The Green Hornet, the director’s take on the masked vigilante made famous in radio serials and comics. Here’s my article at fxguide where VFX supervisor Jamie Dixon guides us through some of the the film’s key 650 effects shots. Also, there’s a separate story on fxinsider looking at CIS Hollywood Kato fight sequence time bending fx.
I’m looking into the role of a Previs artist and Layout TD. Do these artists have the same role?
In some job summaries, a Previs artist works with the Director and VFX Sup by providing previs, post-vis, camera and character blocking in 3D which shows the early shot sequences of a film.
Is the Layout TD merely responsible for creating pipeline scene assets to be used in set extensions, UV mapping for compositors and integration of 3D animation for the 3D/CG Department?
If this is not the Previs artist’s job, then does the Layout TD do the previs as well as provide pipeline scene files?
Hope to hear some good answers!
Thanks
