Revolutionize Your Creative Process

In the preproduction process of making films, cineDESK is a new tool for facilitating scene blocking and staging for previsualization. Directors, cinematographers and production designers can collaboratively explore how space, light, props and acting will be translated into cinematic sequences.

The positions and movements of the virtual actors and virtual camera(s) in the 3D space are rendered in real time into 2D images with the help of the Unreal Engine.

Creative Collaboration

The great advantage of working with cineDESK is its collaborative potential. The director, the DoP, the production designer and further crew members can work together to find the optimum visualization.
