Post Interview with Potter F/X creator

The American Chronicle has a new interview with Waldo Mason who worked on the special effects for all the current Potter films and has worked on the upcoming film 'Goblet of Fire'.

Quote:
My involvement in the Harry Potter series includes the giant spiders from HP2, the petrified Hermione, Justin Fitch Fletchley and Nearly Headless Nick also from HP2, inflating Aunt Marge limbs and Dementor CG paint reference for HP3, and various bits for the upcoming installment which, unfortunately, I am contractually obligated to not discuss.
Quote:
Also, on bigger films like Harry Potter, there is such a large effects crew that the whole process is split between the various departments, leaving you to concentrate on what you do best.

For the Hermione FX they actually made a wax figure of her, like the wax museum type of deal. That's how they got her to stay so still. I think that would be a fascinating job to have.

OMg that is so cool I was wondering how they did that to hermione. I mean no one can possibly stay that still. I had a feeling it might be wax but it just didnt look like it COOL

"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not."

Oh, that is cool. I think it's amazing how much technology has advanced. I mean take Star Wars for example. You see the ships and all that from the earlier three, and then you see the ships with the newer movies and it's incredible. They did a great job with Harry Potter. I thought they did a terrific job with the dementors.

I hope the interveiw goes good. I have no doubt that the special effects will be of the hook in the upcoming GoF film.
