Craig Young

He went on to work as an animator on The Planet of the Apes films and on Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy. On all six of these films, Craig also worked as a performance capture artist.

He was a Sequence Animation Supervisor on Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame and has most recently been an Animation Supervisor on the Robbie Williams biopic Better Man.

Born and bred in Wellington, New Zealand, Craig grew up watching King Kong, Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings and knew early he wanted a career as a VFX animator.

He is hugely inspired by all the amazing work created by the talented Wētā FX crew.

He rates the opportunity to work with Terry Notary and Andy Serkis and to have the opportunity to be a key MoCap performer on the Apes films.

Creating a singing and dancing ape for Better Man is another career highlight and Craig’s ultimate plan is to create cool stuff and to inspire and be inspired by the people he gets to work with.
