Q&A
What's surprising about your job?
We spend as much time as we can studying the water and coast lines around Wellington. Matching reality is the starting point for all of our great technology.
Best advice received in the film industry?
You have to enjoy the process of creating the image as much as the final image itself.
Most memorable thing from seeing Avatar in theaters?
I always thought 3D in films was a distracting fad until I saw Avatar. It was the first 3D movie that made me realize how great the technology could be when used correctly.
