Every shot comes down to one question: is it believable? Facial Motion Supervisor Stuart Adcock’s favourite shot from Avatar: Fire and Ash features Varang telling Quaritch her backstory. Oona Chaplin’s performance is enhanced with countless subtle refinements including wrinkles, ear movements and even a hint of a fang. These work together to deepen the emotional response, emphasising authenticity over perfection. Learn more about Varang's facial animation from Stuart and Senior Animation Supervisor Dan Barrett at ACM SIGGRAPH 2026: Igniting Performance in Avatar: Fire and Ash Wednesday 22 July, 4:25PM Room 515A #WētāFX #VFX #AvatarFireAndAsh #SIGGRAPH2026
