The Visual Effects of the Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring
Matt Aitken is the digital models supervisor at Weta Digital, the visual effects facility in Wellington. Since late 1997 Matt has been working on the visual effects for Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, building the creature models, digital doubles and many environments that are entirely digital. He will show examples of Weta’s work in the first film of the trilogy including breakdowns of the visual effects techniques used in putting the work together.
