Inside Weta Workshop’s Collectibles Department
Weta Workshop is composed of many different departments that produce its world-class fabrication and special effects work for films, but there are also departments that produce products for fans. We visit the collectibles workshop at Weta to learn what goes into designing and making a Lord of the Rings collectible.

I’ve always loved the building collectibles from Rings. Those locations are iconic and are characters in and of themselves thanks to their presence, in particular Orthanc, Helm’s Deep, Minas Tirith and Barad-dur (I see you in the background there!).
In both this video and the one about the labyrinth we hear WETA employees talk about pursuing personal projects in the company’s workshops. It would be great to learn more about WETA’s approach to “after hours” projects. Encouraging to pursue their own creative endevours is a great way to maintain motivation and promote constant training and skills development on the job.
Sounds like you exported and uploaded this one with the music channel disabled. The lack of nat sounds in that intro montage leads one to think that.
LOL great piece , loving the Weta videos
But we are all makers here gotta comment on the “making” of the videos too 😉
I picked up on that too. Sounds like it might be a great working environment. Removed from Hollywood, they get to pretty much do things their way. New Zealanders are so great and so friendly.
guys, you’ve been hitting it out of the park with the weta videos. amazing amazing stuff! many thanks 🙂
