During the last couple months of production on The Hobbit, Weta called in Lighters and Compositors from all over the world to help the huge team of artists already there in New Zealand finishing this monster of an effects film. Using Maya, Nuke, Renderman, and a collection of proprietary tools created at Weta, I learned the pipeline as much as possible in a short time, and finalled shots with the help of some great supervisors and senior artists who have been working there for years.
