Watching VFX Artists React today and learning that Wētā Workshop no longer has a miniatures division made me so sad. Apparently studios just don’t want them anymore, they all want CGI. So sad

Yeah, I think he did say he took the job mostly because he didn't want the studio to pick a random filmmaker and took the chance to increase Weta's capabilities. Still, the footage of a exhausted Jackson pacing on set trying to figure out what to do next/how to do it is heartbreaking.

I'm an unironic defender of those movies, but I have to say, for their faults, it speaks volumes of Jackson and his team's skill that the movies weren't a massive failure under those circumstances.

It happened for The Hobbit, according to the Appendices for the film. The minimal prep time was attributed for the lack of creatures and miniatures... even though it also helped get more and different/less anthropomorphic kinds of creatures.
