Well, I think it's important to remember that Bell isn't the VFX department. He's not a one-man shop. He's on a project with a $130 million budget. All he has to do is create an effective mock-up if he wants. The actual VFX supervisor is tracking all this, helping with all this, walking beside all this. All Bell has to do is then say, "Here, it should be like this." After that, VFX pretty much starts from scratch, especially in the case of this particular 'Hunger Games' movie, shot on film. Bell's working with DNxHD material. But the VFX people are going to scan the elements they need from the original negative and build from there. There might be some things that can be ported over for efficiency, but in my experience you usually have to start from the beginning in situations like these. I've done VFX films, and I do temp comps and that sort of thing, too. Not much of my work is of much use to the VFX people except as reference.

Interesting stuff. I wonder how tedious it is to take his Avid/Fusion effects prebuilds and redo them with the full raw files. When he talks about applying a time warp before exporting to Fusion I start to wonder what the work flow is to reassemble the real effect. I would doubt there is an easy translation of the timewarp effect to the final compositing programs. Sounds like a fair amount of eye matching and interpretation might happen in the end. Is there some sort of xml or other way to export the Fusion effects to other programs?
