Richie Baneham, Avatar’s animation supervisor, was interviewed on Today FM’s Ray D’Arcy show yesterday about his role in the production of the movie that’s fast becoming the biggest box office success of all time.
Richie was trained at Ballyfermot School of Animation in Dublin. Following a move to LA he went on to work on movies such as The Iron Giant and Scooby Doo. He has since worked as animation supervisor on the Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Chronicles of Narnia before his four & a half year stint on Avatar.
