The Edge - The Birth of Weta

Television (Excerpts) – 1994

I really like the Kiwi ingenuity. I mean we’re in a small building, in a tiny room, and we’ve got all this gear. We bought it and didn’t have a clue really how it worked. We've figured it out ourselves, and learnt a lot from it. We’re kind of doing it. They [Hollywood] can do it, so we can do it. It’s a real Kiwi attitude I think, which is kind of fun.
– Peter Jackson on taking on Hollywood from Tasman Street in Wellington
...eventually film will cease to exist I’m sure, and cameras will be recording straight onto CDs or some sort of digital medium.
– Peter Jackson correctly foresees the future
