No individual has had more of an impact on modern Hollywood visual effects than Sir Richard Taylor. 

The Co-Founder and Chief Creative force behind Weta Workshop has now received well deserved recognition from his peers, as he has won the Visionary award from the Visual Effects Society in LA.

Sir Taylor told Heather du Plessis-Allan that he wasn't expecting to win the award.
