I spent my time during the early years at Weta on various projects; rotocapture, early muscle system experiments and procedural city building R&D for King Kong, tests for the movie ‘Pitch Black’ and proof of concept demos that helped green-light LOTR.
The Weta logo itself is an inverting homage to Escher’s “Moebius Strip II”. ( Animation of both Weta bug and Pitch Black creature by Ramon Rivero)
