Burning Sheep 2008...Weta's version of Burning Man. An annual celebration for absolutely no reason at all...other than to light something on fire, set off fireworks, and barbecue and drink on the beach at night.
Princess Jasmine (Wong...no relation but probably somewhere down the line as our families are from the same province in China) hugs Mr. Sheep for the last time...before he spontaneously combusts!!!
...nom nom nom...
How to light a sheep on fire by shooting roman candles at it.
This is what happens when a bonehead lights fireworks but neglects to stabilize them first...
Jogle...Chief Pyro Engineer for the evening.
...there are always thugs and riff raff at these Weta things. Seen here the failed boy band Backstreet N'Degrees.
I was waiting for this to end badly...VERY badly...
