Pixel Liberation Front is a visual effects studio located in Venice, California. Founded in 1995, PLF pioneered the process of previsualization recreating the physical production environment in 3d, and animating the principal actions of a sequence well in advance of shooting.
In addition to previsualization, PLF has created and composited final 3d elements for feature films, television commercials, games, and music videos.

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of "Minority Report" below is a sequence PLF previs'd for the film. This was a study we came up with to help understand how traffic would work in a city with cars that can drive on any surface, which was the design brief from the car designers. Alex MacDowell, the film's Production Designer, guided our conceptual design-vis effort.
So, what would that look like? What new kinds of streets / intersections / transitions would need to be invented. Could it be designed to feel safe to modern viewers?
Ron Frankel did a lot of this work too, as did Kyle Robinson, James Battersby and J. Andre Chaintreuil.
It was enormously fun to work on this project in the early phases, and to attend the "think tank" meeting referred to in the article.
This was in the early days of snowboarding, so the sliding down through the corner from vertical to horizontal was not as familiar a movement as it is now in the half-pipe era.

On the occasion of Minority Report‘s 10th birthday, several of the visionaries who helped build the movie’s familiar future recall their experiences at the “ad hoc think tank” Spielberg put together to help conceive it's futuristic universe. PLF's very own Colin Green took part in the "idea summit" with fellow "futurists." PLF provided design-vis and previs for the film. Happy birthday Minority Report!
When a director puts a lot of thought into the details that fill out their cinematic world it shows, even if you don’t explicitly notice each little thing while you’re watching. It’s the difference between the generic sci-fi universes we’ve seen in a million aspiring films and truly memorable worlds...
