What did i do?
For two years i had the pleasure of working on the Hobbit Trilogy in Wellington, New Zealand. There were so many projects/props, technologies, and outputs from large to small scale. To get production/development photos of work was prohibited, so cannot show here. I will however show scenes from the movie.
My roles included 3D modelling, operation of machinery, and also hand fabrication skills.
​
What kind of props
This is just a fraction of some projects:
3D models of boats in 3 different scales. Unwrapping them back to CNC ready files. CADCCAM files, and operation of CNC.
3D model of tower Bell. CNC profiles for rotational molding. Assist with molding fabrication, fibreglassing.
Lasercutting leather stamps for costume, BIlbo book, fish skeletons, gauntlet and costume trims.
CNC large panels for flooring, ceiling and wall details for set design.
