Everyone’s favorite foul-mouthed, middle-aged talking bear is back. This time, “Ted” comes back in the form of a seven-part TV series on Peacock. Seth MacFarlane returns to voice the titular teddy and direct the series.
In reviving “Ted,” visual effects supervisor Blair Clark had one focus — to make sure the bear didn’t look different in the prequel series, which follows two films starring Mark Wahlberg. “He’s an established character, and those features needed to stay the same,” Clark says over Zoom.
To achieve that, Clark — who first created the character over a decade ago in conjunction with Tippett and Framestore VFX houses — went back to the original assets to see what was usable. Since over 10 years had passed, technological advances meant the assets were outdated, and everything needed to be rebuilt to get Ted and MacFarlane ready for television. An integral part of the re-animation process came from Fuzzy Door,...

Tippett Studio brought the title character from Universal Pictures’ blockbuster live action/CG-animated comedy, back to life for the 85th Annual Academy Awards® telecast. Accompanied by friend and co-star Mark Wahlberg , a computer-generated Ted riffed a few jokes on Sunday night before the duo presented Oscars for Sound Mixing and Sound Editing.
Incorporating 3D character animation into a pre-recorded movie or television show is one challenge, but integrating an animated character into a live-broadcast in front of a global audience is quite another.
Behind the shenanigans of the world’s favorite crass teddy bear were the same visual effects and character animation artists responsible for his creation in 2012′s global comedy hit Ted. Blair Clark of Tippett Studio perfected the illusion alongside Seth MacFarlane (Oscar® host, voice...

Though viewers at home saw Mark Wahlberg standing on the 85th Academy Awards stage next to the animated Seth MacFarlane creation Ted, it turns out the actor actually was up there alone. It was Tippett Studio who brought the animated character back to life for the Oscars, which was quite a challenge considering the broadcast was live.
The same team behind creating the crass bear for "Ted" were responsible for animating him on Oscars night. To do so, Tippet Studio's Blair Clark had a duplicate of the Academy Awards stage created at CBS Studios, and then filmed 10 different versions of the skit. As winners weren't announced until Oscars night, it was up to Clark to make sure that the right pre-animated segments aired during the show.
"It's always enjoyable working with Ted, and having him present at the Oscars was an exciting challenge," Clark says in a statement. "As well,...
