The incredible studio special effects and prop company, Wētā Workshop, is entering the metaverse. The team of design experts from Miramar, New Zealand, is behind some of the most fantastic film and television moments of all time. This includes the Lord of The Rings trilogy, which helped to showcase the company’s brilliance to a global audience.
After three decades of revolutionising the special effects industry, this unique award-winning company joins the metaverse.
This is a colossal name entering the space, and it will be interesting to see how they view the metaverse. Founded in 1987 by Richard Taylor & Tania Rodger, the team at Wētā Workshop is one of the world’s most sought after concept design specialists. The company has created iconic fixtures in cinematic history, including LOTR, Mad Max: Fury Road, Dune, Avatar, etc.
Dr Grordbort and the Wētā Workshop
The special effects and concept design company will enter the metaverse through the retro-futuristic steampunk series, Dr Grordbort. This whacky, satirical series ran from 2005 to 2008. Eventually, with Wētā Workshop founder Richard Taylor, they worked together and built on the lore and the ecosystem.
Now, Dr Grordbort is entering the metaverse. In fact, there is an entire Dr Grordbort universe, complete with films, comics and physical figures. Significantly, Wētā Workshop is working with FLUF world, the metaverse ecosystem, to create a Dr Grordbort raygun NFT collection.
It is unclear when the NFTs will go on sale, but some believe it is around the corner on Twitter. One user, @beleevens, said, We know that it is “Airdrop April,” in @flufworld, and @aaronmcdnz promised a few more incoming. So I speculate that @seekers_xyz, and maybe all @flufworld & @partybearNFT will get Dr Grordbort items and ray guns.” Also, in recent days, FLUF world has released a guide to owning one of these NFTs.
Finally, this is the beginning of the Wētā Workshop’s journey into the metaverse, and it is fascinating to see this innovative company joining the space.
