-- About this video --
Today we are jumping on a bus from Wellington City Centre in New Zealand and heading over to Miramar, the home of Weta Studios, Weta Cave and the Weta Workshop!
Weta are the props and special effects team behind huge movies and TV shows, most famously The Lord of the Rings and Avatar, so visiting the Weta Workshop is a must for a Lord of the Rings in New Zealand experience. #realmiddleearth
We arrive at the free portion of Weta’s offerings in Miramar, The Weta Cave. At the Weta Cave you can take a look in their mini museum of Lord of the Rings props and figurines. There is also a behind-the-scenes video to explain the work that Weta Studios and Weta Digital do.
For a more in-depth look at Weta’s work, we join a Weta Workshop Tour which takes us to one of their prop rooms and has windows looking into Weta workers creating props for their next movie. The Weta Workshop Tour allows no photography or filming but it’s a great insight into the movie industry.
After our Weta Workshop Tour, we head on one more tour to see how miniature effects are made with the Weta Thunderbirds Are Go tour. Although we don’t know much about the Thunderbirds Are Go! TV show, we are surprised to be amazed by the miniature worlds created by the Weta New Zealand team. We might even go as far as to say that it was our personal favourite Weta Tour of the day!
So what do you think of the Weta Workshop Tours in Wellington? Would you add the Weta Cave or Weta Workshop Tours to your New Zealand bucket list?

That's fantastic to hear you're a fan of Weta Cave in Wellington! It's indeed a special place for those who appreciate creativity and craftsmanship in the film industry. It's a shame that the 20-minute film isn't available anymore post-Covid, but it sounds like Weta Cave continues to offer a lot to its visitors.

Hey there, as you can see from our video, for obvious copyright reasons you are only allowed to film and take pictures in the gift-shop and mini museum, for the tour itself, it's camera off!

But it sais the collectibles are made in China? Are they now created by hand by the people at weta or in a factory in China? Or is maybe just the packaging made in China
@NZPocketGuide 4 жыл бұрын
A lot of replicas are made in China but there are some locally made miniatures available, they are much more expensive though.

NZ Pocket Guide thanks for your reply yes I Heard- only the master swordsmith swords are made at weta everything else is made in China based on their Prototyp
