For a massive film like Superman Returns, previsualizing much of the movie is essential. Bryan Singer works closely with a large, creative team of visual effects artists to imagine the film before they actually shoot elaborate scenes. This helps him ensure that he's getting exactly what he needs from both the shooting and the visual effects groups.
