Weta Studios

I visited the Weta Cave (link) this morning, a mini museum dedicated to promoting the work of the Weta Workshop (link). The Weta Workshop is a design and physical manufacturing facility in Wellington which services film makers like Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) and others. The video clips below will give an indication of the types of costumes, special effects and digital animation services created at the Weta Workshop.

The visitors centre has some life-size models of Gollum (a.k.a. Smeagol) and other Weta workshop creations

I've watched the documentaries for LOTR quite often, and each time, I find something new.

I am glad that you suggested checking out your blog.
