We drove to the town of Miramar, a suburb of Wellington, where Sir Peter Jackson and the Miramar studios have created the computer graphics for Lord of the Rings/Hobbit movies and many more.

| The Weta Cave is the shopfront of the Oscar-winning Weta Workshop. We could view the creative process for props, models, costumes, etc. that go into movie computer graphics. |
 |
| The "green screen" which allows the computer graphics artists to create any backdrop for the action in front of it. |
 |
| Trolls outside the Weta Cave, where we saw how the computer graphics are done |
 |
| Lifesize statue of Gandolf, from the Ring Trilogy and Hobbit movies |
 |
| Costumes from Lord of the Rings/Hobbit movies |
 |
| The movie "Avatar" used the New Zealand facilities for part of its computer graphics |
