The traditional media production process is highly linear, with cinematographers and directors scene planning, VFX creation and editing, and casts assembled on set. Preproduction, production, and postproduction with a one-way flow can lead to adverse outcomes like fix-it-in-post approach, expensive reshoots and redundant VFX work.

Virtual production sanctions production houses to initiate VFX work in preproduction, making digital materials accessible for planning and shooting and letting them fine-tune the final result throughout the production process. Virtual production is an expansion of the traditional filmmaking playbook, consenting studios to tryout more while keeping production time and cost under control.
