Karl Rapley

During the three-and-a-half years he worked on this enjoyable and fun project, where part of his role was to come up with gags and crazy action sequences with the team and he was promoted several times and emerged as a Senior artist.   

Karl worked on the last two Avengers films - Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame as a Lead Animator and Sequence Animation Supervisor and continued in the MCU as Animation Supervisor on Black Widow and on The Marvels. 

Karl won an Annie Award for Best Character Animation in a Live Action production in 2021 for his animation supervision on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. 

Born and raised in Warkworth New Zealand, Karl grew up inspired by films like Jurassic Park, Terminator 2 and just about anything that had a behind-the-scenes feature on the disc. 

He particularly enjoys working on projects where he can assist the film makers in creating amazing action sequences from previs to final animation.
