For Julien Hosmalin’s short film “Girls”, part of the preparation focused entirely on rebuilding the location in 3D before the shoot.
Unable to attend the technical scout, I reconstructed a section of the neighborhood using Google Maps references, modeled the environment in SketchUp, then imported it into Capture for previs. This digital workflow allowed us to explore angles, volumes and light positioning within a precise virtual version of the set.
The 3D visualization became more than a technical tool. It helped the whole team project themselves into the mood of the scene and align on the visual direction early in the process. It also proved extremely practical for organizing and distributing tasks clearly once on location.
A strong reminder of how modeling and previs can shape both creative intent and on set efficiency.
