Jason Galeon joined Wētā FX in 2009 to work on James Cameron’s “Avatar” and has worked in a range of VFX roles on a number of high-profile projects such as “Iron Man 3,” “The Suicide Squad”, and in 2022 creating the pet bald eagle (Eagly) for the “Peacemaker” TV series. Most recently, Jason wrapped on “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3” where he served as sequence VFX supervisor. Hailing from New York, Jason started his career in architecture and took his evolving interest in 3D visualization to a career in visual effects. Jason was on the board of the Visual Effects Society in New Zealand for many years and is currently involved in TEQ TALKS — a regular talk series run in conjunction with the VES and Double Vision Brewery — short talks by fascinating creators and innovators, paired with wine and beer. To re-energize and to balance the intense VFX work, Jason runs ultra \marathons and is an illustrator in his spare time.
