Wētā Workshop teams up with Neal Stephenson’s Lamina1 Web3 platform


Weta Workshop, known for its world-building for The Lord of the Rings movies, has teamed up with Neal Stephenson's Lamina1 Web3 company.

Neal Stephenson will be speaking at GamesBeat Next 2024 on October 28-29.Wētā Workshop is a special effects and design company that filmmaker Peter Jackson spun up for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. In an email to GamesBeat, Barkin said, “In the case of the original IP Lamina1 is developing with Wētā, we are refining the concept, but you can think of it like narrative scaffolding–a story that begins to unfold with a drop of 2D “relics” and metadata that must be decoded and remixed by our global community to unlock new chapters. We’re specifically interested in independent makers of film, games, or music – segments of the industry that have largely been underserved and suffered from unsustainable economics and traditional business models that don’t prioritize creators/creatives.
