VFX Shot Review and Approval
How a VFX shot is reviewed: the artist submits a version, the supervisor reviews in dailies, the client approves, and notes flow back.
Drawing diagram…
What this diagram shows
- Internal supervisor review happens before the client sees anything
- Notes are attached to specific frames
- Client approval marks the shot final
Prompt used
Shot review sequence: the artist renders a new version and submits it to the production tracking system (ShotGrid), the coordinator adds it to dailies, the VFX supervisor reviews and gives frame-specific notes; the artist fixes and resubmits; once the supervisor approves, it is sent to the client review portal, the client approves or sends notes, and the approved version is marked final for delivery.
