Christopher White could all be walking away from the Academy Awards ceremony this Sunday with golden statues. And the competition comes in the form of more folks at Weta Digital for work on &#8220;The Avengers,&#8221; and &#8220;Prometheus.&#8221; &#8220;The Life of Pi,&#8221; and &#8220;Snow White and The Huntsman,&#8221; are in the mix as well. Pundits say it comes down to Hobbit vs. Pi. Whatever the outcome, Weta Digital has had a pretty astounding year and with the warm glow of Smaug on the horizon, 2013 looks promising as well. You probably knew all that but what you may have missed are the terrific reels Weta Digital has available to help viewers (and maybe voters) understand what went into the creatures, environments and characters it created for the first of three Hobbit films based on J.R.R. Tolkien&#8217;s 75-year-old children&#8217;s book. <\/p>\n<p>One of the six showcases on YouTube, &#8220;VFX of The Hobbit: Fantastical Creatures &#038; Lands of Epic Beauty &#038; Darkness,&#8221; something of a highlight of all the videos, has been watched more than the rest but for anybody who loves cinema, loves the Hobbit film, technology or visual effects, the whole collection is outstanding.
