KINKAJOUvfx
Who we are ...
We are facilitators rather than a post house and work across a wide range of film, broadcast, digital media and interactive projects.
Both Stephen and Earle are experienced in all stages of production, from concept and planning to principal photography and post-production.
Kinkajou is strongly associated with other experienced artists, production crew, boutique vendors and a number of larger facilities that allows for an adaptable, creative and holistic approach.
How we like to work ...
-
Prep & Script Breakdown
-
We will always be mindful of your budget from the very start, engaging in as many HOD meetings as possible prior to design turnover.
-
-
Shoot Prep & Previs
-
Work very closely with the Director, DOP and editorial teams during pre-prod to ensure all turnover material is solidly understood, and that a good working version of the VFX can filter through to editorial.
-
We will then tailor our methodology accordingly. This could include Thumbnail Animatics, Storyboarding, Previs, and then after the shoot, Postvis, when required.
-
-
Shoot
-
Work with HODs to ensure all the practical technical breakdowns of the scenes are in good working order prior to the shoot.
-
Be extremely flexible with one eye on the future costs.
-
-
Recycle Re-use
-
Once a breakdown of the project is in a good shape we will endeavour to design both the set- piece FX, Matte Paintings and any 3D model constructions to be used for multiple purposes.
-
-
Editorial & Postvis
-
Constantly feed the edit to help resolve any story issues.
-
Postvis team dailies review with Director / DOP in context of the edit.
-
-
VFX Production and Delivery
-
A colour pipeline in post is critical for VFX, so milky pictures in and out, as well as a working match grade.
