The Science Behind Special Effects
ALPHA 130 ααThe science behind special e ects The science behind special e ects With today’s technology, imagination is the only limit to what can be created on a movie screen. And nowhere in the world is the imagination more unlimited than at New Zealand’s own WETA Workshop and WETA Digital. Weta Workshop makes models, props and miniatures, whereas Weta Digital creates virtual characters and computer generated special eff ects. Audiences around the world were awestruck when the Lord of the Rings trilogy hit the big screen. Trees walked, massive armies of men and elves battled evil Orcs, and through it all marched an unlikely fellowship of brave little hobbits, a tall wizard, brave men, an elf and a dwarf and of course the lurking Gollum (aka Smeagol). e special eff ects were quite simply amazing, and creating them is not only an art but an exact science. Gothmog, Richard Taylor and Peter Jackson on set Weta Digital is an Academy Award® winning visual eff ects facility based in Wellington, New Zealand. e company was formed in 1997 by a number of directors – including Academy Award winners Peter Jackson, Jamie Selkirk and Richard Taylor. Weta Digital off ers world class visual eff ects for international feature fi lms and commercials. e company is best known for its visual eff ects work on e Lord of the Rings trilogy (New Line Cinema), and more recently for its work on King Kong (Universal) all of which were directed by Peter Jackson. Most recently, Weta Digital has completed work on the eatrical Film and Extended DVD Version of King Kong (Universal) and has completed visual eff ects work for I,Robot (20th Century Fox) and X-Men – e Last Stand (20th Century Fox).

ewew NN ealandealand ZZCities by the Sea By Monica Frim Photography by Monica and John Frim Maurice Shadbolt, the enigmatic writer whose works of fiction and non-fiction greatly illuminated New Zealand culture and social history, wryly didn’t seem to care for the cities of his homeland. In the 1950s, he wrote that New Zealand’s cities “were among the most joyless in human history.” Now, some 60 years later, I’d venture he’d eat those words. We were meandering about the city of Auckland reminiscing about the change that Splayed across some 50 volcanic cones that taper into a skinny neck of land flanked by two had taken place since our first visit more than 30 years ago. At that time, Auckland was large harbours, Auckland is defined by its volcanic bumps and watery indentations. The dormant partway through a major facelift that had many residents and onlookers scratching volcanoes have been turned into city parks like Eden Hill, One Tree Hill, and the Auckland Domain. Protected from their heads in dismay. The new developments took place with little architectural and development, these lush green parklands provide panoramic views over the city and harbor. design control. While some historical buildings were lovingly restored and refurbished, If a city can be both lax and urbane, Auckland is it. Artsy shops, swanky restaurants and world-class museums others fell to the wrecking ball to be replaced by a shuffle of mismatched high rises and galleries co-exist among parklands and walking trails that spider along the waterfront and up the slopes of that elicited complaints about newly created shadows and wind tunnels.

Glamdring™: the Sword of Gandalf™ the Grey Item# UC2942
In the Third Age of Middle-earth, the old and powerful Wizard Gan- dalf and his Company of Dwarves came upon a troll lair in Rhûdaur. There they found two ancient Elven swords and a knife. The exact history of these blades is not certain, but when the Elf lord Elrond examined them in Rivendell he determined they were well-known and ancient blades used in the Goblin Wars to slay many Orcs in the First Age. The sword named Glamdring was forged by the high Elves of the West, in the hidden city of Gondolin. Glamdring survived, only to be found thousands of years later by Gandalf and his companions. Glamdring is an exquisite example of the height of Elven sword- craft, and a weapon befitting an Elven king. Gandalf claimed Glam- dring for his own and wielded the sword through the Quest for Erebor, using it against the Goblins of the Misty Mountains, and later on the quest to destroy the One Ring. The great sword re- mained at Gandalf’s side until the end of his days in Middle-earth. This authentically detailed replica is a reproduction of the actual film- ing prop built by Weta Workshop of New Zealand and used in the mo- Includes screenprinted tion picture, THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY. United Cutlery, wood display plaque industry leader in fine movie reproductions, has meticulously recre- ated the prop using only the finest grade materials and craftsmanship. Close attention to detail was a top priority. The Glamdring sword is47 5/8”(120.9cm) overall, featuring a stainless steel blade, solid metal hilt parts, faux blue jewel inlays, and a genuine leather-wrapped grip.
