Avatar Special Effects Masters Sharing Their Work on Facebook Today

Letteri, a five-time Oscar winner, and Lemmon will provide a look into WETA’s process as a worldwide social media presentation. Visitors to the livestream event will hear from other filmmakers, including director Rupert Wyatt, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the work of actor Andy Serkis, whose nuanced performance is playing a key role in WETA’s rendering of Caesar, the film’s principal ape character.

A social media event is happening for Rise of the Planet of the Apes today at 2:30pm Pacific/5:30pm Eastern from WETA’s headquarters in Wellington, New Zealand. I am attending via Facebook and hope to see you there, too. This is a great opportunity for film students and film fans. WETA’s Joe Letteri and Dan Lemmon will give viewers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at their work on the film. The movie is a reality-based cautionary tale that blends science fiction and science-fact that will open this summer.
