Back in 2020, Adam visited Wētā Workshop as they embarked on their most ambitious project yet: a sprawling exhibition showcasing the special effects artistry that Richard Taylor and his team are known for-an immersive imagining of Wētā Workshop itself. Tested embedded with Wētā Workshop as they were in the process of building the enchanting environments of "Wētā Workshop Unleashed", documenting the collaborative design process, problem-solving, and hard work it takes to put something of this scale together.

@Occupant Год назад

There's something so bittersweetly nostalgic but also ominous about anything filmed in early 2020

@tested Год назад

We totally agree.

@Occupant Год назад

Thanks to everyone on your team for all the great content, especially in the past couple years

@ProeliatorDeus Год назад

You feel like Sarah Connor in T2 at the playground, soundlessly shouting at them that something terrible is coming. 🙃

@-MrFozzy- Год назад

Absolutely! I know it is Literally this, but it feels like a different time. I still feel slightly strange when seeing people shake hands and hug…I think something broke in me after everything we’ve been through.

@EvanCops Год назад

The calm before the apocalypse 😐 I feel you

@AdamantGrant Год назад

When I was a kid it was my dream to work at, or even just get to see Weta in person. They’re the pinnacle of prop work.

@edwardfletcher7790 Год назад

Just listening to the explanation of the way the Weta team have planned out the experience is enthralling, and would love to see the finished product, though I doubt I'll personally get the opportunity while it's up.

@BOPBadger Год назад

Love the picture of Adam in "Fred Dagg" costume on the Horror wall. A small detail that is possibly only noticed by Kiwi viewers.

@petermerz2704 Год назад

Weta is amazing. I went there when my daughter got married in 2013. I actually got to meet Peter Jackson while in a tour of the workshop. It was an amazing experience! Thanks for sharing Adam. Happy days and model on! 😎🇨🇦

@brianreardon159 Год назад

I'm in London UK. I watched this. Sent a message to a Friend in Auckland.......they went.......all that within 48 hours. thanks Adam 😊

@DecanFrost Год назад

totally worth a trip half way around the world this, this is what i've been saying for years! we NEED museums like these, all around the world. maybe even in the very town where a movie were shot. would bring huge amount of tourists, just for that one thing. places where we can preserve these priceless masterpieces, on the same level as the Mona Lisa! personally, i would travel around the world, to each spot, every 2nd or 3rd year.

@mrdinohunter9220 Год назад

I went there for a school trip a few weeks ago! It was great, and I even saw adam’s face lol

@NZLion Год назад

I was creeped out when I was at unleashed and was looking at the synthetic Adam Savage that's sitting part way through it. I went with my work social club last year. It's really interesting watching this and seeing what parts made it from here with or without further changes.

@Ipushedabutton Год назад

Yet another reason to visit New Zealand!

@YearsOfLeadPoisoning Год назад

I never imagined I'd be as enthralled hearing an exhibit described without actually seeing it. This is so cool!!

@ForeverDegenerate Год назад

And this is why Weta Workshop and Weta Digital are the absolute best at what they do. They don't only think about the disparate parts of the whole that they are working on. They visualize the whole first and keep that in mind while creating the parts. To Weta, as a whole, narrative is the most important part of what they do. If they don't understand the narrative that drives what they're making, how can they, properly and accurately, make parts to service that narrative? They really are Artisanal Geniuses down there at Weta.

@tjthrash0143 Год назад

The constant switching of scale is a great idea.

@WMfin Год назад

Just by listening how it is laid out my mind is blown!

@mikibish Год назад

That sounds amazing! A shame I most likely won't ever get a chance to see it, would be cool if it could eventually be turned into some kind of VR experience for those who can't visit in person.

@thomasd728 Год назад

Happy Birthday Adam, all the best 🍻🎉🎁

@claytoncochran3728 Год назад

WOW!!!!! What an amazing place this will be!! To see and hear your excitement as he shared all of the pieces with you drew me in and wrapped me in the experience with you. Thank you Adam!!!!

@TheMumbys Год назад

Been there and it's amazing. Currently thinking of going again next weekend and taking the fantasy workshop that they have going on for school term break.

@Russellsperry Год назад

Now I’m really excited to see the finished product 👍

@MikeOrkid Год назад

I definitely want to see the full Adam walkthrough reaction video.

@julietrowlett100 Год назад

This looks like an absolutely amazing experience/exhibit. I know the three "movies" are only for the event, but I think it would also be very cool in a few years to see them finished on the big screen. P.S. to Adam, I love watching what you do. I also love listening to you talk about things you have experienced. In a strange way it's like watching my dad working on his models (thought he rarely finished the bigger ones :) ). He's been gone almost seven years now and watching you makes me miss him more and less all at the same time. Keep doing what you're doing, you inspire us all. Thank you.

@Joe___R Год назад

That is definitely something I would love to see in person.

@86fifty Год назад

Awww, MAN! My eyes watered and I squeed, at how AMAZING some of those scenes are gonna feel, walking into them! I've just gotta be happy for everyone who will get to experience it. Thank you for showing us this behind-the-scenes look. (smiles with single tear because am broke af, no way to pay for a trip)

@iambushi Год назад

I wouldn't even know that it's a thing if it wasn't for this video. Just visited, it is super cool!

@imallfordabulls Год назад

I hope Weta is able to take some of their stuff on mobile exhibit at some point.

@JonoRoss Год назад

I went to Weta Unleashed recently, I enjoyed it but I really wish they included all the stuff he described, there must have been some budget cut backs. I did get a surprise when I saw the very lifelike Adam mannequin. Also, look out for the Savage Industries sticker in the foyer wall mural.

@zimmy1958 Год назад

On the bucket list.

@nicklang7670 Год назад

This is going to be so awesome. I am in love with the concept. Thanks for showing us!

@adrianleonard8315 Год назад

What an experience this would be. It would be great if they could do a virtual tour much like the DAVID BOWIE IS exhibit. It's really incredible, and great for those of us who may not have the opportunity to see the exhibit in person.

@brkr_ Год назад

This sounds like an absolute dream. Already wanted to pop over to NZ but this is really adding to the pull.

@@Fezza_ they usually aren't. would've been a nice little curiosity though.

@Fezza_ Год назад

@@goob8945 absolutely. Weta are super god damn talented, and I wouldn't doubt the movie would look nothing short of amazing. But if you watch the interviews from some of the evangelion DVDs, you'll straight away realize those dudes had absolutely no clue what to actually do with Eva, and had such a poor understanding of it.

@CarloRufinoSabusap Год назад

Considering how much Adam loves the idea of immersive experiences, I would love to see him react to and comment on an experience at the Star Wars starcruiser hotel. I went back in March and had my mind blown at how involved it was, I wasn't ready for that level of immersion. Costumes, set design, interweaving story lines and game play, animatronics, and animatronic costumes! A few practical effects on the ship I had never seen implemented in real life anywhere else, I think Adam would be just a kid in a candy store.

@spasticmuse4262 Год назад

@3:40 Thumbs up for acknowledgement of "Meet the Feebles", one of my favourite, most messed* up, movies I've even seen. *Only using that word to keep the comments "clean". The "other" word is FAR more appropriate for that movie.

@tomhorsley6566 Год назад

18:08 - I wonder if they would still do all this, and if so, how (if at all) it would be different, if Weta was a worker-owned co-op, with a democratic decision making process internally. Like, it seems like at least this person you're interviewing is pretty excited about the project even being Richard's thing. I just wonder... what else might they create, if they could?

@poopfartlord9695 Год назад

An internal democratic decision making process for stuff like this (nitty gritty details), seems like an amazing way to get 1/100th of the amount of work done compared to a traditional top down structure.
