On-set data acquisition is part of the tasks attributable to the VFX supervisor.
The on-set supervisor (or the person assigned to this task) is expected to be able to obtain all the photographic material that can be useful during the post-production process, either to extract textures from the set, to elaborate three-dimensional models through photogrammetry or HDRIs for LookDev.
Through this talk we will review in a global way those photographic techniques that are essential to be able to work professionally in a shooting. We will review the necessary equipment to start working, as well as the most demanded procedures.
