Pre - visualisation Pre - visualisation — often reduced as simply pre - vis — is a stage in the pre - production process between storyboarding and principal photography . The skill is not known to have been a part of the 1963 version of " Doctor Who " , but it has been used with uncertain frequency on the BBC Wales version of the programme . Name . Though " Doctor Who " titles have consistently spelled it " pre - visualisation " , it ' s comparatively unusual to see it as a hyphenated word . It ' s typically spelled in American - led circles as " previsualization " or in British - influenced projects as " previsualisation " . Thus , its shortened form is often styled " previs " — or sometimes " previz " . Overview . The skill involves translating static storyboards into a full - motion approximation of the final scene . Though pre - vis can technically be accomplished without CGI — as , for example , with cheap , hand - held video cameras — computers have provided a low - cost , more flexible way for a pre - vis artist to contribute to the pre - production pipeline . Very rough models of the sets , locations , actors and other in - scene objects are input into a computer programme which has the ability to precisely emulate physically possible camera movements , speeds , and sometimes even cinematographic details such as lens aperture and lighting physics . Following the storyboard , the pre - vis artist then brings the scene to life , thereby offering the director a much more detailed guide on how to film the scene . The process can reveal technical flaws in the storyboarding , which prevents the director from wasting time on approaches that won ' t work . The process also offers the director the opportunity to try different shots in the computer before he commits to them on camera . As documentary subject . An explanation of the process as it impacted the opening scene of " The Eleventh Hour " was offered by pre - vis artist Dan May on WC : " Doctor Who Video Explorer " .
