Love to see our Dungeon Master Allan Henry getting the kudos he deserves for his Steppenwolf motion capture performance and fight choreography work on Zach Snyder's Justice League alongside Weta Digital and Ike Hamon!
"We completed about 11 days of capture for this film, with the bulk of the work going to Steppenwolf. We relied heavily on the experience of Allan Henry and Isaac Hamon, two guys responsible for many of our CG character performances here at Weta. Allan Henry was the foundation of Steppenwolf’s performance during his conversation with Desaad and Darkseid in the Nuclear Silo. Allan nailed all the lines and gave us a great performance to help marry with the original voice acting from Ciaran Hinds.
Isaac and Allan were also responsible for the fight choreography of the exciting moments in the third act battle between all our heroes. This really helped keep a cohesive and well-paced fight for everyone to be engaged in. Building on these performances, were our amazing character and facial animators. The extra details provided by everyone on these teams, took our actions from cool, to wow."
