The Latest Industry News for the Exciting World of Production.

Proof London's Creative Director Pawl Fulker presented a previsualization session during last week's ParisFX international event. Proof is one of the film industry's leading visualization services houses, with locations in Los Angeles, London, Sydney, Australia, and Montreal & Vancouver, Canada.

Held on December 4th, Fulker's session included: A discussion of how the look of previs is important to help engage filmmakers in the process, what the advantages are to certain looks, and how Proof tailors the look of each previs project to specific creative needs. Fulker showed Proof company founder Ron Frankel's previs work on "Panic Room" as an indication of where Proof started in terms of look, and then showed examples of the company's previs from "Fast and Furious 6," as an example of the look most modern previs sequences have. Additionally, Fulker showed some previs work on "Pirates!," which he did during his time working at Aardman Studios. Fulker also showed Proof's previs work from the films "The Green Hornet," "The Amazing Spider-Man," and "Captain America."

"It was a real pleasure to welcome Pawl to our event, and to listen to his presentation. His talk was much appreciated by our audience," said Francois de Saint-Exupery, one of the producers of ParisFX 2013.
