This is the most purely Sci-Fi project I ever worked on, from the classic book beloved by millions. I tried to show how rational and intellectual the two characters 1st scene is, against the grandeur of space.
I think previs had not started this yet, but our director / writer knew most of the shots he wanted for the battle. I added some actor & camera movement to help the story and action flow. Took some time, but this REALLY helps save expensive previs revisions! And hopefully VFX can use some of the more finished frames to get bids.
