The Extraction
Original Title: The Extraction: Previs Animatic
A 3-minute sci-fi infiltration sequence pre-visualized with self-hosted open-weight LoRAs and modular ComfyUI pipelines to pitch a studio feature.
01. Narrative & Synopsis
Designed as a proof-of-concept visual effects animatic for a major sci-fi studio pitch, The Extraction demonstrates end-to-end actor and costume continuity across 12 consecutive shots. By training custom character LoRAs on local RTX 4090 workstations and animating via Wan 2.1 in ComfyUI, the production team eliminated cloud data leakage while slashing previsualization costs by $120,000.

Supercar — Wet Road
High-speed Russian arm tracking shot carving alongside [SUPERCAR] drifting around a wet asphalt hairpin curve on [MOUNTAIN_ROAD]. High-velocity water spray rooster-tail from wide rear tires, glowing red LED taillight light trails, carbon fiber bodywork reflecting twilight sky, headlights slicing through road mist, 1/1000s crisp shutter, 35mm commercial look, shot on Phantom Flex 4K at 120fps.
POV — 2050 Mumbai
First-person POV looking out the transparent magnetic train window gliding 200 meters above Mumbai in the year 2050. Flying autonomous rickshaws weaving between vertical sky-gardens on twisting skyscrapers, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link fitted with solar-graphene energy arrays below, bright sunny tropical atmosphere, crisp 4K 60fps future documentary realism.
Future Mumbai
Cinematic wide shot of Mumbai in the year 2088 at dusk. Towering 800-meter vertical architectural spires draped in hanging bioluminescent greenery, massive holographic advertisements in Devanagari floating in the smoggy rain air, flying autonomous air-taxis weaving through aerial skyways, wet reflective surfaces, Blade Runner 2049 color science, 35mm anamorphic.
