About

Hi, I’m Antonio De Gregorio, an Animator/ VFX Artist based in Wellington, New Zealand. I previously worked at WetaFX in the Motion Capture department for 2.5 years, tracking motion capture data and supporting production as a Virtual Production Technician and Witness Camera Operator on projects including Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) and Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025). I hold a BA in Creative Media Production from Massey University in Wellington, where I specialised in Animation and VFX and led my final Major Project using Unreal Engine 5 as lead Animator.

In my practice I enjoy hands-on collaboration across mocap, on-set, and digital production pipelines, from planning and rigging to cleanup and final renders. I’m passionate about telling stories through motion and visuals, and I strive to deliver high-quality work under pressure while maintaining clear, proactive communication with the team.
