Weta Workshop

Weta Workshop is a five time Oscar winning conceptual design and physical manufacturing facility servicing the world's entertainment and creative industries

The company that would one day be known as Weta was born as RT Effects in the back room of Richard Taylor and Tania Rodger's Wellington flat in 1987. From this humble base of operations, Richard Taylor and Tania Rodger supported the emerging local film industry with a range of services in special effects, creature work, prosthetics and make-up effects.

In 1994, Richard and Tania joined with friends Peter Jackson and Jamie Selkirk to expand the company dramatically to service the local and international industry's special effects requirements. They named their new company Weta, with Richard and Tania heading up Weta Workshop, the conceptual design and creative services arm of the greater Weta company.

Over the years, Richard and Tania have also diversified Weta's scope of interest into a range of other creative enterprises, including collectibles, children's television and intellectual property development. All of these endeavours have allowed the team at Weta Workshop a unique perspective, experience and desire to tackle any creative challenge.

Green Leaf Film Studios

Based in Chengdu (the home of the panda – hence the logo) the film studio is the first western managed film studio based entirely in China. Utilising the management and direction skills of experienced filmmakers and other creative management with extensive Hollywood and UK experience, combined with the talent and ability of the local Chinese animation staff the studio is able to produce movies, TV series and other animation production for considerably less than western based studios and in far superior time-frames.

Green Leaf Film Studios was named in honour of a young leukemia patient, Zhu Jia Li, who died in 2008 and whose parting message to one of the founders of Green Leaf was “Auntie, I tried to give you a handful of green leaves, but you gave me the whole spring”.
