Where Schedule, Capacity & Delivery Forecast fits in the production workflow
Schedule, Capacity & Delivery Forecast is best understood as part of a wider creative and technical pipeline. Depending on the project, it may connect with compositing, rotoscoping, matchmoving, green screen, and vfx pipeline. Understanding those relationships helps artists choose an efficient workflow instead of treating a technique or software feature in isolation.
What to evaluate on a real project
- What is the intended final output and what quality level is required?
- Which parts of the shot are best handled manually, procedurally, or with tracking/automation?
- How will the work be reviewed, revised, versioned and handed off to the next department?
- What happens when lighting, motion blur, transparency, perspective or other difficult shot conditions change?
