Abstract

During the past decade, Film industry in Asia grew rapidly in many technical domains. The accomplishments helped filmmakers to expend their creativities and to improve the quality of their works. However, there is one major struggle that stops filmmakers going beyond their imaginations. It's the lack of PreVisualization [Pre Vis]. PreVis is known as an indispensable and critical process for film-making in Europe and the United States, but its significance has not been fully perceived throughout Asia yet.

Asian people working for film industry have many traditional stories and particular ideas. With such stories and ideas, film-making in Asia will be possibly shaped even better by PreVis. Among many difficulties for making high-quality movies in each Asian country, the most serious problem seems time and money. Film-makers in Asia have no choice but to try to use their limited resources in an even more effective way than Hollywood, and PreVis can surely support doing this.

Meanwhile, film-making is requiring both techniques of digital and analog today. Although filmmakers and students have to learn both of them, unfortunately digital and analog are separated from each other in education. PreVis can help them to learn both of them as it can bridge the differences between digital and analog. However, there are not enough institutions to teach PreVis in Asia. Accordingly, the education for PreVis is becoming highly important for next generation of film-making in Asia. The talents and the environments for PreVis have to be developed for making higher quality movies in Asia.

Kenji, Christopher, Danyo and I, who stand on a platform, have established "PREVIS SOCIETY ASIA" for growth of PreVis in Asia this year. This panel is one of our efforts. The target for this panel is to discuss how to develop education of PreVis in Asia with experienced panelists and audience. It will discuss what the problems are, what is needed and what is different from Hollywood system to do this. We will make the first step for next generation film-making in Asia at SIGGRAPH ASIA 2015.
