King Kong

King Kong premiered yesterday in NYC. I have been waiting for this movie to come out for nearly 2 years now, as they used my body in the process of making up the King of apes body. It sounds funny talking about it now as I wish I was as pretty and hairy as the goliath beast. It is not to often that you get to do any film work, let alone a huge $200million film like King Kong. Hopefully my name can be seen somewhere in the credits but not to sure. Try not to blink when the credits are rolling and we may be able to see it.

A couple of years back I went along to Weta Workshops ( Peter Jacksons studios ) not to sure what they were after. Touring through the studios and meeting Oscar winner and special effects wizard Richard Taylor was interesting enough, I later found out they wanted me to do posing and movements for the star of the movie Kong himself. They were interested in the way muscles moved when lifting etc so I was filmed doing movements , posing, just about everything you can think of. They even apparently used still shots and made models of my body. This was an awesome experience and I am really looking forward to seeing the end product of Kong also sitting down and watching the movie.
