Before starting on the Collectibles, what was your role in the creation of "The Lord of the Rings" film trilogy?
I was a designer and sculptor at Weta Workshop. Lurtz and the Wraiths (as seen at Weathertop) are my bastard children.
What was the highlight of the project for you?
There are too many. Seeing something you designed and sculpted on the big screen is always a buzz.
How did you come to choose the pieces you sculpted for the collectibles?
Strong characters.
How did you choose the pose of your pieces?
Usually from a dynamic frame of the film, but sometimes a more subtle pose felt better.
If you lived in Middle-earth, what race would you be and why?
I would be a Fraggle because they go on lots of adventures and have fun and get to eat Dozer construction.
