As a Christmas special, a member of the Weta Workshop design team will be spending two days in December featuring as a guest on the forums, in an attempt to 'blitz' as many of your unanswered questions as they can...

This is how it will work: simply log onto www.wetanz-forums.com and if you haven't already, sign up as a user (this is simple, quick and, best of all, free). Then simply click on the applicable subject and enter your own question. They will scan the entire forum throughout the day and attempt to answer as many posts as they can.

This month, Daniel Falconer will surf the forums. Daniel is one of a group of designers who worked on The Lord of the Rings (pictured above) and has a deep knowledge of Tolkien's Middle-earth.

Since The Lord of the Rings, Daniel has contributed design work for various projects including King Kong, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Halo. In 2005 he collated and wrote for Weta's first book, The World of Kong, A Natural History of Skull Island (pictured above and below), showcasing the illustrative work of the entire design department.

Daniel will be blitzing the forums on Monday 11 December and Monday 18 December, 2006, to answer your questions and reply to your comments.

If you have a question for Daniel, post it in the applicable forum (eg LOTR enquiries in the LOTR forum) and he will do his best to reply over these two dates. So have you got questions burning a hole in your pocket yet? Well get to it at www.wetanz-forums.com for the blitz dates.
