1. Favorite (or least so) things to sculpt? Last two pieces for Weta included horses (Èomer, Arwen/Frodo), as well as lots of movement. Something that will continue? Particular challenges? What detail work are you most fond of? What’s most tedious? Plans do produce any of the more stylized works, e.g., as found in the Mini Epic series?
2.What’s in the works for Weta, e.g., more like more Dol Guldur environment figures, completing the Fellowship in the Mini Epics? A dream project you’d like to take on at some point?
3. Connecting: ever travel with Weta to fan conventions? Or do we need to come to Wellington to get artist autographs?
Some of the latest Lord of the Rings figures have been very dynamic, with a lot of movement, do you like doing the movement focused pieces? Is this more of a challenge?
Is WETA able to do any non-movie Tolkien stuff I.e. Silmarillion based, Tom/Goldberry, Barrow Wights etc? If they could would they?
Do the WETA artists work on both the collectibles and the movie stuff or do they work in one area?
What are the biggest challenges with the newer Movies?
How much is WETA still innovating? Is there much opportunity for innovation or have most techniques been established?
Would you like to be involved in the Middle Earth Amazon TV series? Has WETA been asked?
