Weta Workshop Limited
Filmmaker Peter Jackson (Lord Of The Rings) co-owns the company along with creative director Richard Taylor and producer Jamie Selkirk. How often does a company get to call itself an Academy Award Winner? For Weta, it's a five-time honor. The effects studio has won Oscars and other awards for make-up, visual effects, costumes, and miniatures for films including King Kong and The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. It also contributed to Avatar, The Lovely Bones, and District 9. Weta also makes 3D models, armor and other props, and sculptures, including collectibles for its own and other properties. Other parts of Weta include film production and post-production studios and a film equipment rental house.
