Sabine Laimer has worked as a Digital Compositor and Compositing Supervisor at Wētā FX since 2012 and has recently taken on responsibility as a Sequence VFX Supervisor. She leads a cross-departmental team of artists and oversees all creative and technical aspects of one or more sequences of a show, creating images that are in line with a client’s vision and works closely with the overall VFX supervisor and production team. More recently, Sabine has wrapped on a soon to be released project in which she took on the role of VFX Supervisor.

Originally from Upper Austria, Sabine’s inspiration to get into VFX was watching DVD extras from The Lord of the Rings Limited Edition box sets.

Her early projects include Man of Steel, Iron Man 3, and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Recently, Sabine was the Compositing Supervisor for Marvel Studio’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Prior to Weta Digital, Sabine worked for various visual effects studios across Germany, Australia, Canada, and the UK, including Scanline VFX Munich, and Double Negative London where she worked on the Harry Potter franchise. Since joining Wētā, Sabine has worked on The Hobbit and Planet of the Apes trilogies, as well as The BFG and Avengers: Infinity War (2018) for which her team received a 2019 VES Award for Best Compositing.
