Go behind the scenes of the on-set performance capture for the film.
Today on the befores & afters podcast, we’ve got a fun conversation with Wētā FX visual effects supervisor Luke Millar and actor Jonno Davies about the film Better Man. Jonno, of course, played Robbie Williams in the film, and for the most part he wore different kinds of motion capture gear on set, with his performance then translated into a Robbie ape by Wētā FX.
There’s already a fun Q&A with Jonno and Luke at befores & afters, but we go much further in this chat, including breaking down the Rock DJ Regent Street scene, the final My Way sequence and also a more frenetic and intimate moment when Robbie is in his living room with the family. I really enjoyed getting the actor perspective on mocap here, and hearing how Luke and Jonno interacted in terms of VFX.
