The Lion, the Witch and Weta: Richard Taylor talks Narnia
Weta, named after an insect that is found primarily in New Zealand, was established by Richard and his partner Tania Rodger 16 years ago. They had been active in the business for a number of years, but it was their work on the “Lord of the Rings†trilogy that did more than just put the spotlight on them. It also earned them an Oscar.
