VFXWorld has a great article interviewing Patrick Tatopoulos as he moved from Creature Designer to Director of the new Underworld III:Rise of the Lycans.
A veteran of the two previous movies Visual Effects Supervisor James McQuaide enjoyed a great collaboration with Tatopoulos. “One of the unique pleasures of Underworld Rise of the Lycans UW3 was working with a director who had both production designed Underworld: Evolution UW2 and had designed built all the creatures for all of the Underworld pictures. As a result there was a knowledgeable attention to detail that provided the visual effects and the movie for that matter with a level of reality that it very likely would never have had. “
