At Wētā Workshop Unleashed, students will explore three movie projects imagined by our crew and discover how we bring big screen concepts to life. With thousands of mind-blowing special effects, robots, dinosaurs, monsters, giants and more, students of every age will step right into the action to see, play and experience movie-making up close.

Students will dive into our immersive and extraordinary world of special effects, props and larger-than-life film sets!

Students will also be treated to a creative workshop:

Intro to Scars and Scrapes

Step into the world of a practical effects artist and bring spine-chilling scenes to life at our Intro to Scars and Scrapes workshop.

Ever wondered how special effects artists make monstrous wounds look so ghastly, or make movie blood look terrifyingly like the real thing? Our Wētā Workshop Unleashed crew will guide you through the craft, teaching basic tricks to create shockingly realistic prosthetics that will leave family and friends horrified!

Inspired by scenes from the faux horror movie Fauna, you’ll mix your own fake blood and learn how to sculpt, layer and colour a prosthetic to make it look blood-curdlingly real. With all materials provided and small class sizes, this hands-on workshop promises plenty of frightful fun as you master the art of special effects. Join us and create something that’s sure to get a scream!

Upon competition of the workshop, you’ll receive a Certificate of Creativity.

No creative experience is necessary.

Bloody good time guaranteed!
