Peter is a lecturer at Bournemouth University (renound for excellent CG animator graduates) and a CG animator for 25 years. He has mentored some of the world's best CG animators working at organisations like Weta, Pixar, ILM, Digital Domain and Sony Image Works. They have worked on movies like Over The Hedge, Monster House, Titanic, King Kong, Lord of The Rings and the forthcoming Happy Feet.
Chances are you'll have seen a movie with CG input from one of his ex-students.
This is a facinating round table interview with questions from Chris, Seth and Phil.
Attached is the 'Uncanny Valley' graph which Peter refers to.
