Wētā FX’s visual effects work on Avatar: Fire and Ash has been nominated at the BAFTA Film Awards, alongside major contenders F1, How to Train Your Dragon and Frankenstein.
Directed by James Cameron, the film also received Academy Award nominations last week for best visual effects and best costume design, the latter by Wētā Workshop.
More than 1200 Wētā FX artists contributed to the project, delivering more than 90 percent of the film’s visual effects. Only about 11 seconds did not contain special effects.
