Effektrevision

Effektrevision is a formal process in film and television production used to review and revise visual effects work after initial completion or approval. It ensures alignment with creative direction, technical standards, and schedule or budget constraints.

The scope covers all stages where effects are created or integrated, including digital environments, animation, compositing, color grading adjustments, and the integration of effects with live-action footage. It may also involve motion-capture data, simulation results, and approved plate revisions.

Typical workflow: a revision is requested by the director, producer, or VFX supervisor; the effects team assesses impact on timelines and cost; a plan for revisions is prepared; changes are produced and tested in shots; the revised work is reviewed and approved by the VFX supervisor and producer; final sign-off leads to delivery of updated assets and versions.

Key roles include the VFX supervisor (technical and creative lead), VFX producer (scheduling and budgeting), the director or showrunner (creative direction), and post-production supervisors. Collaboration with art directors, editors, and colorists is common.

Deliverables and documentation: revision notes, updated shot lists, new renders or composites, updated dailies, and versioned asset deliveries; traceability is maintained through change logs.

Context: effektrevision is distinct from pre-production planning or on-set effects; it is part of the post-production workflow and may be triggered by creative changes, feedback from test screenings, or technical constraints.
