Someone please explane, your latest email look at the exemptions you can apply for. Hairlooms, dealers, collectors, museum curators ????. THEATRICAL MEMBERS/BROADCASTERS, pest control. Why the fuck can theatrical members/broadcasters get a possible exemption. Must be for that Du Plessie shiela. Any ideas ?
Well it's a bit hard to film a war movie etc with Nerf guns.Quote:

So I get it, Sir Jackson gets a exemption, makes a film with 1000 mates most who he has never met and they are allowed to run around with the real deal when weta workshops could 3d print a fake. Thats fair
oh well I guess if you arent happy with it, Sir Peter better bugger off to U.S.A. to make his next movie, and take all that lovely $$$$ with him perhaps.....
And lets face it we all enjoy a shoot,em up , kinda loose the moment when a rifle or sword gives a little wiggle .Quote:

I was more interested in someone wanting to challenge this line. "people involved in wild animal and animal pest control." Surely all hunters are involved in wild animal control.
Also the bit about a $300 payment available for modifying tube magazines etc is worth looking into.
When swords give a little wiggle it is a different movie and one I suspect Sir Peter would not be involved in.....Though a blue flick directed by someone called Sir Peter could be an interesting flick ....Quote:

Went to Weta Workshops Thursday just gone.
For swords - 3 kinds:-
(a) Real steel made by in house self taught sword maker. Used for close ups, as imitations have different light reflecting qualities.
(b) Imitation swords made of highly polished aluminium, identical to the above. Used for out of focus, near camera shots, by stand-ins or crowd actors.
(c) Imitation rubber/polycarbonate imitations or 3D printed swords for wide angle crowd shots - eg. - large battlefield shots.
Saw two replica Mk 1 3* 303's - one full size and correct (including BP stamps & serial #'s), one exactly the same but twice life size of the same firearm.
For those that saw Sir Pete's WW1 set up at the National Museum (not Te Papa's version - but both displays done by Weta W/shops), most of the gear on display at National Museum, was from Sir Pete's private collection - planes, vehicles (trucks, cars and tanks), firearms and artillery pieces, uniforms, helmets and accessories.
Considering that Weta W/shops have a long history of coming up with original designs/equipment/film studios and post production facilities, I found some of the previous comments somewhat disparaging of our film making pioneers a little pissing off. Most of the action blockbusters that keep us enthralled have a contribution from these Kiwi pioneers.
Rant over fella's:D
Have a great day out doing the things you love to do.
They can replicate anything they want. They made the replica .30 cal Browning’s and 20mm Hispano cannons with rubber linked and painted ammunition for the flying DH Mosquitoes restored/rebuilt by AvSpecs at Ardmore airfield.Quote:
