MEGA TIPS
1. As resources allow, always complete a previsualization sequence and
exercise for every project.
2. Organize and assemble abundant reference material to support the
previsualization process.
3. Commit to saving development time later by doing work up front to
establish all major visual reference points, a style bible (which is a formal
document sometimes provided by licensors and sometimes requiring its own
invention), and an understanding of how visuals will be used in support of
gameplay. This process will evolve, but having locked reference points is
meaningful and valuable.
