2003.02.15 - Gino Acevedo
Gino is one big guy.
Big talent, for sure. Gino has worked on a string of films that would make any effects enthusiast green with envy. All the creatures in the LOTR trilogy passed under his airbrush, and as if that wasn't enough, he now does exactly the same thing digitally.
Gino moved down from his home in Arizona for the Lord of the Rings (that and for the chicken-flavoured barbecue potato chips) and is now a bonafide home-grown Kiwi.
He has carved himself a niche at the Weta Workshop most of us only dream about. Tucked away near the design room is an unmarked door: open it and you're in the Kingdom of Gino Acevedo - statues, busts, posters, prosthetics, half a dozen airbrushes, state-of-the art computers... and absolutely stunning work just laying around all over the place.
Wonderful.
