For a photographer, the world in which your subject lives is as important as the subject itself. When shooting a product for an advertiser, you must decide how to present the product, and in what type of environment. Where a product is set establishes a mood for the viewer whether on a conscious our subconscious level.

By definition, pre-production is anything that happens before the day of a shoot. And if you do it right, your shoot day should go very smoothly. Pre-production meetings are the meetings where all of your planning is accomplished. They may not be as lengthy as the Papal conclave, but there is a lot of subject matter to cover. They are an imperative part of the entire project so that you can make sure you get everything you need or want out of the images.

Pre-production is important for producing high-quality CGI room sets. Here’s what you need to know before working with a CGI production company.

When it comes to CGI Projects, a fair amount of our work is for clients who have never tried it before.  They usually have a whole host of questions, which is completely understandable with a relatively new technology.  We do our best to provide as much information as possible on our website and our blog - which hopefully answers most of your questions before you even have to pick up the phone.

How do you become a photo retoucher? We share the stories from five of our retouchers and how they ended up in the field. 

"Honestly, the project seemed insurmountable - we had to build and shoot 28 sets in 2 weeks. TRG had the capabilities, organization, and attention to detail to not only pull it off, but execute it perfectly.  Not only that, but we had a great time doing it. From top to bottom the whole group was amazing."

Ok, we say it all the time and by now, you're probably sick of hearing it - but this is true, we live for creating imagery of all kinds. It doesn't matter what the product is, what you're using it for, or what your overall project goals are, there is nothing that excites us more than to partner with you and work together to bring your ideas to life.

TRG Reality’s CG department has done it again. In one of our most recent and super fun projects, Mike has created a 1:1 rendering of our own CG office. You may recall our blog on Oculus and the latest trend of using the game-centered technology to manipulate and enter into any CG world. The main idea of our project was to offer a tour of the CG office space via Oculus for that true 3D CGI experience; however, we have created a version that doesn’t need the Oculus Headset - so you can take a look at what we’ve done on your computer monitor.  Everything in the rendered room has been scaled to the exact size it needs to be in order to ensure the viewer feels as though they are walking around the real TRG office. 

In the recent past, we’ve covered the steps that it takes in order to ensure we have a successful location shoot, we’ve outlined in detail just what goes into managing a project, and we’ve defined who you will see working on set during your photography or video shoot. But what we have yet to touch upon is the pre-PRE step of what our clients can prepare to help initially plan out all of the magic that will take place once the project gets under way. Here are the 7 things you can prepare to make sure your vision comes to life!
