He’s also a bloody nice bloke, he spoke at an Autodesk yoke in Dublin a few years back. A sound fella, hung around the bar afterwards answering questions and all.
BAFTA win:
Richard Baneham, from Tallaght in Dublin, and three of his colleagues, Joe Letteri, Stephen Rosenbaum and Andrew R Jones, won the Special Visual Effects award for ‘Avatar’.
Had a talk from him while studying animation a few hears ago.
Remember him saying he was passing up King Kong for the The Chronicles of Narnia. Very interesting guy.
He was on Larry king with Cameron recently. The clip is on youtube me thinks.
