If you're in any way familiar with Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films, you'll have heard of Weta Workshop, the Wellington-based and Academy Award-winning effects facility. Weta were commissioned by Wellington City Council to create a sculptural tribute to the New Zealand screen production industry. The resulting film camera look-alike mounted on an imposing "recycled" tripod is installed in Courtenay Place, not far from The Embassy theatre which premiered the LoTR films.
