I got lucky, “The Last of Us”(2023), One of my favourite video games, got turned into a TV show (a good tv show) and I got the chance to work on it at Wētā FX. This American post-apocalyptic drama television series created and written by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann for HBO was a great project to be a part of.
I contributed some early character performance work to the key moment of the “Bloater” ripping “Perry” in two in episode 5. However, my main role on this show was animating the “Monkeys” at Colorado State University in episode 6. The 2 wide shots of the monkeys bounding away from the hero’s Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) on the campus grounds and shot with the 3 Monkeys scurrying away in the Lab. These were live action plates, with cg character added in. I took these shots and fully keyframe animated the creatures from staging, to blocking and final animation.
Below is a showreel of these shots I worked on taken from the show.
