Matt Aitken took Thranduil’s Realm sequence.
Kevin Smith took the Dol Guldur sequence. We split the big hero sequences out amongst a few VFX Supervisors and their teams: Jeff Capogreco took the Sluice sequence. How did you split the huge workload with the other VFX Supervisors? I also took on the challenge of the Dwarven kingdom of Erebor and the dragon Smaug. For HOBBIT 2, I was the show VFX Supervisor and worked with all the other supervisors to bring to the screen Peters vision for the film. Joe is the overall Weta Digital VFX Supervisor and keeps an eye on all shows. With a few new characters added to the mix including Smaug and Bolg we had a very big year of design and creation which always brings with it new learning experiences.Ĭan explain your collaboration with Senior VFX Supervisor Joe Letteri? Unlike the last film, in this Journey to Middle-earth we get to see all new locations which brought with it new and fun challenges. Now, he’s back for the second episode of HOBBIT. Last year, Eric Saindon had told us in detail about his work for THE HOBBIT – AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY.
