Wētā FX Animation Supervisors Preview SIGGRAPH Sessions in Podcast Roundtable

Animation supervisors from Wētā FX — Dan Barrett, Stuart Adcock, and Dave Clayton — sat down with the befores & afters podcast ahead of SIGGRAPH in Los Angeles for a candid roundtable on animation, previs, and mocap. Barrett and Adcock discuss their work on Avatar: Fire and Ash, including the crafting of Oona Chaplin's character Varong, while Clayton digs into the role of previs and his work on Vecna in Stranger Things season 5.

The conversation covers practical mocap experiences, including the animators themselves suiting up for certain shots, and previews the sessions the Wētā FX team will be presenting at SIGGRAPH.
