Key-scene visualisation
The scenes that sell or define the project, shown with camera, blocking, mood and scale.
AI previs and pitch visualisation for films and series
Before a film is financed or a sequence is shot, someone has to show what it will look like. MotionByte produces previs and pitch visualisation for films, series and commercials: the key scenes, the camera, the scale and the action, in a form that producers, financiers, directors and crews can react to.
For complex scenes, previs also lowers risk. You see whether the chase, the battle or the destruction works before you commit to the expensive version.

Planning of complex sequences shot by shot, with timing and coverage you can hand to a crew or VFX team.

How it works
Brief
Share the script pages, scene list or deck, who the visualisation is for and the deadline. We sign an NDA first if the material is unreleased.
Concept and previs
We break the scenes into shots, build style frames and a previs pass with camera and timing for your review.
Generation and compositing
Approved shots are developed into higher-quality pitch footage, composited and cleaned up where the scope includes it.
Finishing, grade and sound
We assemble an animatic or pitch reel with grade, temp or final music and sound as agreed.
Delivery
You receive the files and decks you need, with revision rounds set out in the proposal.
Deliverables
- Previs or animatic of the agreed scenes
- Pitch footage or reel at the agreed length
- Style frames and look-book images
- Shot list and notes for crew or VFX teams
- Cuts for presentations and shared review links
Rights and NDA
Commercial usage rights and ownership of the final deliverables are set out in the contract for each project. An NDA is available before you share a script, product or unreleased material, and we can sign yours. AI disclosure and content credentials (C2PA) are provided on request. Read the details on the Rights and NDA page.
Frequently asked questions
What is previs and why use it?
Previs is a visual plan of a scene made before production. It shows camera, action, timing and scale, so you can approve or change the scene early and reduce expensive surprises later.
Is previs the same as a pitch trailer?
Not exactly. Previs plans a scene for the people who will make it. A pitch trailer sells the project to the people who will fund or distribute it. We can produce either, or both from the same material.
Can my crew or VFX team use your previs?
Yes. We can provide shot lists, timing and notes alongside the previs so department heads can plan from it.
Can you work from a script or a deck?
Yes. Send script pages, a treatment or a pitch deck, and say which scenes matter most.
How is previs priced?
By the number of scenes and shots, the level of finish and the revisions. We provide a written proposal after seeing your material.
