Special effects man and designer Richard Taylor got his break making puppets for 80s TV series Public Eye. He has gone on to become a key part of the Weta effects empire, supervising the creation of monsters, zombie mishaps and miniature cityscapes for a run of movies and TV programmes. In the process, Taylor and his team have won three New Zealand film awards, four BAFTAS and five Academy Awards.
Although Tania and I tend to run the company, at the end of the day it’s a celebration of the group.
