Wētā FX’s Unsupervised brings you personal perspectives from the front lines of modern visual effects.
VFX professionals seldom find the time to sit back and reflect on a project upon completion. That leaves us wondering - what’s it like to work on these feature-length films? We want the inside scoop without reserve. And so, we’ve pulled some of our artists aside, put them in a room and let the conversation flow.
