The september issue of Wired mag lists the top five special effects workshops (in no particular order). Among them is Weta Digital. The others are: Digital Domain, ILM, Rhythm and Hues, and Sony Pictures Imageworks.
The caption for Weta reads:
PAST WORK: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, one Oscar, one Bafta. BRAGGING RIGHTS: Shoo-in for three consecutive Oscar nominations, thanks to the LOTR trilogy. TECH CRED: AI-powered software that can choreograph complex battle sequences in just hours. IN THE QUEUE: Two more LOTR epics. I WAS BLOWN AWAY: “When I saw 70,000 individually animated soldiers onscreen at one time.” – Peter Jackson, cofounder and director

Ok folks, let’s face it ; ) There are a lot of serious gamers out there! There has also been a serious dearth of LOTR inspired games for many years. Now that The Fellowship of the Ring is out, we’ve been treated to many new games in several genres. In light of all the enthusiasm out there, we’ve asked several folks in to give us the latest information on their games: what they are, how they are played, what kind of tournament action is available, collector’s information, and perhaps even some demonstrations and tips. We hope you’ll drop by one of our gaming sessions and see what exciting new games are out there. [More]
