SPEECH
Rygiel: I just want
to say thank you to J.R.R. Tolkien who wrote it, Peter
Jackson who directed it. New Line who supported it. My wife
and family, Teresa, Sarah and Jackson, who supported me and
the amazing artists at Weta Digital in New Zealand. Here it
is.
Taylor: We wanted to weave a tapestry of heightened
reality with the special effects on LORD OF THE RINGS and a
tribute has to go to Alex Funke, DOP of the miniatures
department, Carla Fry who was there with us from the
beginning. The wonderful people at the Weta workshop, Mary
Machlachlan, John Baster, Jay Docherty and all of my good
friends back at home. And especially my partner Tania. I
send my love to you.
