    Weta Productions

    February 16, 2018 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    From Mount Victoria we headed to Weta Productions where we then booked a tour to go through the work shop. Before our tour we watched a half an hour video of how Weta Productions started and also all the movies they have been envolved in. We where both quite surprised at how many they had actually been involved with. After the short video we looked around the gift shop where Amsnda finally bought a precious ring (precioussss with creepy voice) and Chris bought a black arror pendant necklace from the Hobbit movie. We then made our way to the back of the store where our tour began. The tour was Amazing!! It showed us how the props wherw created from start to finish. We also got to hold and try on several props. It had so many large props of Lord of the Rings such as the white orch from the Hobit, the Roborts from Distric 9 and a real life wart hog from Halo. There was also Sarons outfit and the 9 kings armor, they also had methril that frodo wore when he got stabbed. We both loved this place, highly recommend it. After we finished we got photos with the troll statues out the front then hurried off to the peer as we needed to get onto our Ferri to the South Island. We waited in the line for about an hour and a half then drove onto our boat.Read more
