Plan - Stage 01

See the room before you build it.

What it is

We take your 2D architectural drawings and rebuild the whole thing in 3D, accurately, from any angle you want to stand in.

Not a mood board and not an artist's impression. True to scale, so the decisions you make from it hold up when the trucks arrive. And finished, not a gray-box sketch, because half the value is that people who are not technical can look at it and understand the show.

What it's for

Catch the expensive problems early

Sightlines, screen sizing, rigging conflicts. Everything is cheap to change while it's still a file.

Give stakeholders something real to look at

Approvals move faster when people can see it instead of imagining it.

Sell sponsors on a stage that doesn't exist yet

This is the one nobody expects. Clients have used our previs to secure additional funding from advertisers - which means the previs can pay for itself before the show is built.

What you get
•  An accurate 3D build of your venue and staging, from your CAD
•  Rendered stills from any angle you want to stand in
•  A fly-through video of the finished environment
•  Simulated crowd, lighting, lasers and show effects where they help
•  Customizable banners and logo placement, laid out for ad sales
•  A web link your team can walk through themselves
Starting at
From $1,500

That covers an accurate 3D build and three to five rendered stills. Fly-throughs, simulated crowds, show lighting, and the walkthrough link are priced on top, per project - we quote them against what you actually need rather than selling a tier.

•  We need your CAD or Vectorworks file to start
•  The first revision pass is always free
•  We work to budgets. Tell us yours and we will tell you what fits
Where it comes from

We built these for our own shows long before we sold them. You cannot hand a producer a folder of content files and expect them to see the show. So we started assembling the whole picture in one place, where everyone could look at the same thing and agree on it.

It stopped being only ours the first time a client saw one. Renders made to settle a production question got passed around, then used to sell sponsorships, then posted publicly to announce a stage that did not exist yet. We had built a production tool and accidentally handed somebody a sales tool.

It does a different job every time. Sometimes it wins the sponsor. Sometimes it sells the ad inventory. Sometimes it just gets the content approved without three rounds of email.

Send us the drawings.

Send scope and dates and we'll come back with a timeline and a number. If you would rather just see more of how this works first, ask for the previs packet. No quote attached.
