Movies and video

Poser has been used in the previsualization stages of movies, not only in Hollywood movies but also in small independent productions. Accessible and affordable, Poser has brought previsualization tools to independent filmmakers who need to create previews of their shots, and digital storyboards, without having to spend thousands of dollars in specialized software and tools. Not only that, but Poser has also made it possible for creators to make their entire feature films. For example, The Exigency, by Cody Vibbart, is a feature-length animated film completely made in Poser.

Poser has also been used for visual effects for TV shows. The show “Bones”, starring Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz, used Poser to re-create some of the crime scenes of the show and was also featured in “The Angelatron”, an advanced computer utilized by the show’s leading team to visualize crimes.
