Wētā Workshop Unleashed's Horror Movie Monster!
Ғылым және технология
In our final video from Adam's early-2020 visit to Wētā Workshop, Adam revisits the sculpting room to preview the in-progress sculpt of the monster from Wētā Workshop Unleashed's horror film "Fauna". Richard Taylor explains the origins and inspirations for this creature, which is now one of the many fantastical creations on display at the interactive exhibition open in Auckland, New Zealand!

Sculptor had an expression of " guys, i'm in the zone, let me work " 🙂 stunning work
I would be so nervous having anyone this close to my work 😬

What a dream experience! No doubt that Adam and crew will be blown away when they eventually make it back to see the finished interactive exhibition. Hasn't even happened yet and I'm jealous. haha Those craftsmen working on the model are absolute masters. Stunning sculpture!

I'm so curious about this exhibition but I'll clearly never be able to go to it, so I looked a little on KZread to see if I could have more views of the finished project. I found a video of people who went to it and took photos inside (as allowed (no filming)), and look at who's there!!! :D kzread.info/dash/bejne/rJmTzsFvpbzUpM4.html

@@sgbench The fact that he chooses to say "craftspersonship" twice (intro and interview with Richard), adding a syllible, rather than just saying "craftsmanship". I am not saying he's catering to a specific individual, but clearly, he lives in San Francisco (which is a very Leftist/Liberal city), fantasy/sci-fi cosplayers are generally Left leaning, and he has his own moments of "wokeness", so this is just another one of those moments. (while at the same time promoting Amazon, which has always annoyed me). And i'm sure you would argue why i make a fuss about it, i don't, i am just not particularly a fan of this specific movement. Besides, i was just correcting OP on his outdated binary, patriarch-centric, usage of words ... 🙄
That head is so intimidating, and the intricate design of the torso... so cool!
Anyone else notice the photo of Adam in the tank top at 1:34. Epic!

Beautiful design, got a nice Guillermo Del Toro feeling to it.
Nothing specific to say; I just wanted to shout out how consistently thrilling and informative this whole series has been. This kind of content makes it so easy to see and appreciate the incredible work that often goes unnoticed (sometimes by design!). I can't believe this is all free on KZread.
The most beautiful part of this and all the other videos in this series is the fact that weta is bringing back/preserving practical effects in film/outside of film.
I can't get enough of Weta. We're going to plan a trip. I fell in love with them when I saw the making of LOTR. It's great to see their evolution
Gong is an absolute boss!!!! ferns are my fave plant here in the UK so im extra in love...
I was just watching the giant head video and couldnt resist but wonder about that sculpture in the back. so glad it's getting its own video!
Absolutely stunning work, hope to see more of this development as it progresses.
Richard seems like a mixture of a proud dad, excited geek, and a hidden despotic boss.

I love how it's inspired by local flora and fauna. You can definitely see the tuatara inspiration in it.
If you had the chance to tour with your own curated exhibit, what would be the main centrepiece? I would like to see the work others have done due to your inspiration. As a kid I was fascinated with the Storyteller by Jim Henson. My father would tell me that great stories would last forever because they get handed down generation to generation. What you do is very similar and that knowledge will get handed down long after your gone.
Just finished watching the Standard Yard video and clicked back, only to see this freshly posted!
That exhibition alone is enough of a reason to visit NZ! That place will be incredible!!
I REALLY hope part of this series includes coverage of the mold making process!
That is pure art, amazing, just amazing
Everything there is SO COOL !!!
Went a few months ago, lots of fun and some amazing work
Those sculpts look incredible up close… but I burst out laughing when they showed the final result with the tiny head jerking around and the flapping fingers 😅

That was clearly just the beta model to give people a better idea what it’ll look like. It was a bit of a random shot without any context to be fair.
Wow, I always wished I could draw things like this for a living.
My dream is to visit WETA and spend a day with the team there :)
Awesome!
I respect that they are including so many Kiwi elements. It's a part of the world few people think much about!

Gooday Mates, Weta, I think that one word nowadays explains everything. The detail, as you said you look at it then see another, another and on it goes. Fae beyond anything actually needed or even seen by J. Q. Average. Its these details that, today, astound audiences. J.Q. Average & Sons 50 years ago were stoked to get a colour photo of the family, they had zip knowledge, nor needed, about resolution. Pixels weren't even a word. To be watching movies in Q8 resolution, dang, at my age, 70. It no longer applies as im just happy to have a picture I can see and a story I can follow, but the Millenniums, well their eyes work 🙂 fine. They may not see all the details straight off, but they are the generation that look. Weta, nothing more needs saying. They are the Millennium inspiration. Keep up your inspiration mate, Peace Out. Wayne
The unfinished head reminds me of the Krogans from the Mass Effect franchise!!!
Adam please convince Weta to build one in the USA as well
Man why does this have to be in NEW ZEALAND!? I hope they take this exhibit on tour.
finally we get to the head!
Dude you worked on phantom menace an the matrix???? I learned that from the ai generator.... Also asked it about the east and west Yakuza families an it was great, but I had to ask the same questions in like 5different ways😆 I told it to explain older events as the marvel character wolverine since his back story goes back far enough and it worked😂 using this generator is hilarious an I think of all people Mr savage has to try it out because it gives off a Toney stark vibe😄
Love it. Geiger inspired? Either it is or not it looks amazing!!

Way too naturalistic for his style, this looks way more inspired by the Faun from Pans Labyrinth which itself is obviously taken from the mythological god of Greek folklore.
Wow.
Wonder if this was inspired by the “Manananggal”?
Thanks for being alive with me..wow..tisall
Yup when they say 'if you think you're good - there is probably an asian person 3 times more talented out there' - they probably meant those guys. Incredible skill
The head of the Mother Monster reminds me of Samael out of HellBoy

Craftspersonship?....Dude.
HAVE A MONSTER FASHION SHOW WITH A RUNWAY TO COME OUT ONE BY ONE FOR EXHIBITION TO AN AUDIENCE OF SCULPTORS AND MODEL MAKERS……. “NEXT WE HAVE THE MENACING PURPLE WIDGET FROM THE 7TH DIMENSION” “NO HANDS AND ARMS INSIDE THE ROPES PEOPLE” 😵💫
You know, when they show the shot of the creature together it doesn't seem to fit.. the torso and head seem like they are from 2 different creatures. The head some sort of plant creature the torso some kind of demon, though they look amazing it's quite odd looking.

@@dreanki Crafting and Sculpting are very similar terms although crafting acknowledges that there’s multiple skills involved and tends to be used more for using materials for layering/building type projects whereas sculpting is more about cutting away from a solid material. It’s a strange thing to get particular about, the terminology isn’t disrespectful in any way whatsoever.
"craftspersonship". When self censoring comes before coherent vocabulary.
a random joke i just made up adam... define the meaning of quantum mechanics, well lets focus on the mechanics, in the early part of the 20th century and indeed to date, mechanic was / is a variable sized man jor womn, who worn an overall from neck to ankle, usually coloured blue or grey, boots toe capped and has a spanner in his / her hand, ready for the job in hand. Now we see it in plural mode mechanics, so we have a number from 2 onwards of these mechanics to do the job at hand. Now lets look at the former, Qauntum, Quan short for quantity, so its negates quality, and tum is short for tummy so what we are lookihng at, is a group or set of variably sized mechanics of any gendar, inclusive of the lgbt+, figuring a way of filling the void in somebodys tummy, reallly it shouldd have said Quantum Cooks

@@ObsessiveGeek I'll assume English isn't your first language. Man/men can be genderless, used to refer to either one or all, Homo Sapiens. e.g. "Mankind", "Man's greatest achievement", "Goodwill to all men", or in relevance to this video "workmanship". It's really silly to try to de-gender an already genderless word simply because of linguistic ignorance within the woke quarters.

@TehJumpingJawa Additionally before you attempt to teach language to anyone else again, you need to understand it has a very fluid nature depending on not only how you use a word, but WHEN. Take the word "Gay", although it's meaning can still be used in the manner the word was originally coined, typically what most commonly associate with the word now isn't directly connected with "happiness/carefree". Though I doubt you have a very ranged expression of fluidity given that you're the type to use woke over a simple word that is also within the English language. Words exist for people to express themselves freely, try not to place limits/barriers on language as like I say it's a very fluid thing and you should be far more open about usage of words constantly evolving to allow for even greater range of expressions that might not have been considered previously due to progression.
