Mr. Taylor,
I realize you must get hundreds of these emails, but I just thought I would put my name forward one more place, and to let you know that I would greatly welcome the opportunity to work with your team in any capacity, be it as an assistant, a runner, or even work for free to gain experience.

My name is Kim Davenport. I am recently relocated to New Zealand, and am seeking a position as a member of Weta Workshop's design team. that will help me gain experience in the film industry, especially the roles of the production design team and the art department. Weta Workshop’s unique set up of self contained comprehensive design services would be the ideal setting in which to gain experience with all aspects of production design. I am very much in awe of your company’s use of cutting edge technologies blended with traditional modeling techniques to create such realistic environments. It would be an honor to learn from and work with a team that shows such obvious love and dedication to the art they produce.

I have a bachelors of fine arts degree for interior design. I have worked two internships with theatre company’s design departments, one of which with the largest theatre complex in the western United States. My skills in model making, drafting, and 3D modeling/rendering software could be of use to you. I also have some experience in prop making. I am a very hard worker and have never been given a task large or small that I was not willing to give my very best effort towards. The internships with theatre companies have introduced me to the long hours and flexibility necessary for productions.

My CV and examples of my work can be viewed at http://www.wix.com/kimdavenport/portfolio-page.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
Hide.

Richard, i worked on a couple of shows here in SA and after watching the making of LOTR and all the work you've done in those 3 movies, the yearning in my soul to someday work with a group like yours is too much to bear. Hide.

Richard, just wanted to say thank you for bringing Middle Earth to life. I was able to visit the exhibition of armour and costumes at Leeds Armory and could have spent all day just looking at all the amazing detail of the items from the movies. I wasn't able to attend your lecture but hope one day to be able to thank you in person for the enjoyment you have brought to me and my family. Thanks again to you and your team! Hide.

I want to congratulate you on all the work you have done and awards you have won over the years! I have watched most of the films that Weta is involved with, and love all of them.
I was involved in my first production last month and enjoyed that experience. I hope to work with you and your team some day. Hide.
