RICHARD CLEGG, MPC

Richard Clegg, visual effects supervisor at MPC, recently led MPC's global team for Blade Runner 2049, creating the stunning digital character Rachel, played by Sean Young in the original film. Director Denis Villeneuve entrusted Richard and his team with one of the most complex tasks in visual effects: the reunion between Rachel and Deckard, 35 years after the 1982 release of Blade Runner. Throughout his career, Richard has been part of VFX teams on over 20 films, including Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales for which he created Captain Salaza's digital make-up. In Terminator Genisys, he oversaw the construction of the character Young Arnie and for Kenneth Branagh's remake of Cinderella he created a magical fairytale world. Richard began his career in 2005, joining MPC's London studio as a Lighting and LookDev artist on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. He went on to work on a number of other major visual effects films including Angels and Demons, The Wolfman, Chronicles of Narnia and World War Z.
