In this shot I worked on a lot of buildings, roughly 20 city blocks while working at Weta Digital for the movie King Kong.
Please note, I worked on some of the buildings here, not the whole scene.

You work at Weta?! I want to. It's a tough choice between workshop or digital for me.
I worked at Weta, I work for myself now
Ah. Was it as cool as they make it look in the behind the scenes videos?
Yeah it was a great place to work, could be long hours some times tho 
Yeah, I can imagine. Were you in the workshop at all? Did you by chance have any interaction with Richard Taylor?
Yeah I have been into Workshop, the tour is a lot of fun, but you have to work at Weta to go on it
Have talked to Richard Taylor on a couple of occasions, he is very polite and approachable. Great guy!

Aww. 
He always seems like that in the videos. Love his accent. OK, how about Peter Jackson? Then I'll be done grilling you with questions.

I saw him on the odd occasion, but he was so busy.
