Collaboration between five-time Oscar winner Sir Richard Taylor and MACK One
”The Lord of the Rings” trilogy set a new standard for movie making, from the make-up effects of the orcs and hobbits, miniatures of the realms of Middle-earth, and elaborately computer generated armies. From the very start of production, it was Richard Taylor's company Wētā Workshop that was responsible for designing and making the physical weapons, armour and prosthetics, a company he co-founded with his wife Tania Rodger. In the new podcast episode ‘The World Beyond - The Emotioneers of Tomorrow’ brought to you by Michael Mack, five-time Oscar winner Taylor outlines his career and creative endeavours in a very relatable way and with a pinch of humour. Taylor's career began with the intricate carving of margarine sculptures for restaurants. From this, he and his wife developed a company that is now one of the most sought-after worldwide when it comes to innovation and creativity.
