Few digital effects companies have been as transformative as Weta Digital, the New Zealand company founded in 1993 by Peter Jackson, Richard Taylor, and Jamie Selkirk. In this exclusive sit-down with writer, director, and producer Jackson, Rotten Tomatoes dives deep into the company’s beginnings as a one-computer operation experimenting with effects on the critically celebrated “Heavenly Creatures,” to the challenge of creating CGI cloth for “The Frighteners,” to Jackson’s big a-ha moment watching Steven Spielberg’s “Jurassic Park.” These were the scrappy beginnings of a company that would come to change the way we watch movies.
