FATE / Flipbook To Final | Carl Fairweather

A peek into the Cinesite VFX workflow. Carl Fairweather (FX Supervisor) presents the various stages of presenting, QCing, and rendering content in an FX pipeline. Carl Fairweather had a slightly unconventional journey into VFX. Graduating in 2002 as an illustrator, and with a passion for animation and motion, he started as an artworker for a motion graphics studio, Mainframe. There he had the opportunity to teach himself After Effects and Maya. Discovering a love of problem solving he ventured into Houdini and never looked back. In 2010, Carl surrounded himself with some of the best Houdini minds at DNeg and absorbed as much knowledge as possible. In 2017 he joined Cinesite London to oversee the FX on both Avengers Infinity War and Endgame. He was promoted to FX Supervisor in 2019 and now heads up the FX department.
