FREE Light Projection Show at the Roxy Cinema, 5 Park Road Miramar.

Middle Earth will be brought to life on the front of The Roxy building every night, as a state of the art projection show will play multiple times a night just after sunset FOR FREE. This will kick off on at 9pm on December 1st and finish on December 12th, as we count down to the NZ release of the film – The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. This amazing light show lasts 10-15 minutes and plays several times – so you can see it after a dinner or movie inside!

Showcasing the breath-taking special effects created by WETA Workshop and WETA Digital using sound and projection, the presentation follows the film’s characters and creatures on their adventures through the first two films leading up to the release of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Bringing in a whole new era of animated entertainment in the friendly Wellington suburb of Miramar, and using the beautiful details of the Roxy facade as a canvas, you will be wowed.

This event is to celebrate the talent and the passion from all residents and workers on the Peninsula, as we bring the community together to begin the countdown. An occasion for friends, filmies and the whole family -the plaza will become your new favourite outdoor area, where you can enjoy drinks and nibbles from CoCo at The Roxy; as you watch the sun set and the story of The Hobbit rise on The Roxy Cinema.
 
An outdoor area with level cassette flooring, bean bags and astro turf, so you can get comfy!

“Ann and I are thrilled that our iconic, award winning cinema is playing host to such a significant and world-class event,” said Roxy co-owner Jamie Selkirk.

Sir Richard Taylor also endorsed the projections. “I hope visitors to The Roxy are inspired, and enjoy their time in the heart of the film making capital, Wellington,” he added.

The incentive is supported by Weta Workshop, Weta Digital, Wellington City Council, Wellington Airport, Warner Bros. Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, New Line Cinema, Miramar Events Trust and The Roxy

Make a day of it – Weta Workshop is just down the road with the best of food and film available from the Roxy Cinema and CoCo at The Roxy.

There will also be live music played on the plaza from 8pm as pre light show entertainment. The band is a wellington folk music group called Les Deux Trois

If you run a sports club, this post is for you. If you are on a community committee, this post is also for you If you host events, this is for you. If you put on shows, this is for you. In fact, if you do anything that has a date/time component that you'd like to share with people, this is for you . Yep, probably for all of us. Sharing calendars can be both: an effective way of letting everyone know a complete and utter technical pain in the bottomly region If you've posted up an events page onto your website you know how difficult it is to keep up to date, how the readers have to keep coming back to get the latest changes and don't even think about integrating with somebody else's "events page".

The Difference Between One Million And One Billion

It's feels like a billion is just a bit bigger than a million. Obviously it's bigger but it fits on the same scale as a million, surely. It doesn't. A billion is so so so much bigger than a million. I've trawled the internet finding graphics and videos that show the VAST difference between one million and one billion. Oh, and just to finish with a different misconception about space starting with the classic opening line from the great Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy : “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”
