A brief, picturesque drive through the heart of Wellington takes you along the waterfront, past Te Papa Museum, and through Oriental and Evans Bays.
You’re in Wellywood now -- the home of Weta Studios. Weta Studios’ Weta Workshop Experience offers a peek into the magic of Weta and the many films this media special effects company has worked on.
Visitors gain an insight into the processes and the creative and innovative thinking that goes on within the walls of this facility, explained by members of the talented crew from the workshop floor, using the props, models and weapons they have made for blockbuster movies.
Exclusive video clips are displayed throughout the tour, as well as descriptive boards outlining the process used for different disciplines, such as Armour & Costumes, Weapons & Props, Creatures & Make-up FX, Miniatures & Models, Conceptual Art and Merchandise. The Exhibition Space will also reveal the history of Weta Workshop and what has kept them busy for the past 20 years.
Notes:
Due to legal and conservation requirements, no film sets remain on location. Photography is not allowed inside the Weta Workshop facility.
