Review the script, previs and schedule to identify VFX dependencies and opportunities to simplify.
03 / WHAT WE DO / ON-SET SUPERVISION
On-Set Supervision
Solve it on set. Save it in post.
VFX supervision is more than collecting reference. We help directors, cinematographers and production teams make informed creative and technical decisions during prep and photography—so the right information reaches post and avoidable reshoots or fixes are less likely.
EXPLORE THE DETAILS01 / HOW WE ADD VALUE
Protect the vision. Anticipate the invisible.
- Partner with the director, cinematographer and key departments to plan VFX-dependent shots before cameras roll.
- Recommend practical, digital or hybrid solutions based on the creative goal, budget, safety and schedule.
- Advise on greenscreen, tracking markers, eyelines, interactive lighting, practical effects and camera movement.
- Capture HDRIs, lens and camera metadata, witness references, photogrammetry and environment data when appropriate.
- Help manage changes in real time and flag choices that could create avoidable post-production cost.
- Coordinate on-set notes and turnover with editorial, data management and downstream artists.
02 / WHAT HELPS US START
Bring us in early—or when you need us.
- Script, shot list or VFX breakdown, even if still evolving.
- Storyboards, previs, look references and intended visual outcomes.
- Production schedule, locations, camera/lens package and department contacts.
- Expected VFX scope, budget parameters and delivery requirements.
- On-set access, safety and data-handling requirements.
03 / TYPICAL OUTCOME
A shoot that preserves creative choices, captures the right evidence for post and reduces preventable downstream uncertainty. Supervision coverage and deliverables are defined per production.
Our approach is tailored to the project. Deliverables, review cycles, team composition and commercial terms are confirmed in a written scope.
SEE HOW WE WORKTHE RIGHT PRESENCE FOR THE SHOOT
Hands-on when it matters. Flexible when it doesn’t.
Not every production needs a full-time VFX supervisor on every shooting day. We can plan targeted on-set coverage around demanding sequences, with remote prep and post-shoot follow-through where appropriate. We can also evaluate virtual production, real-time visualization, scanning and AI-assisted workflows when practical, secure and appropriate.
Supervisor and assistant days, travel outside the Greater Toronto Area, accommodation and specialist capture equipment are scoped separately. The visual budget planner is indicative, not a binding quote.
HOW THE ENGAGEMENT WORKS
What you can expect.
Coordinate with direction, camera, production design, special effects and data teams on the agreed method.
Support execution, reference capture and on-the-day decisions as practical conditions change.
Deliver agreed notes, camera information and reference material in a usable post-production handoff.
