The slideshow below shows images from the myth of Maui and his brothers fishing up the North Island of New Zealand, part of ARL's 2011 Maori Mythology animation (originally in stereoscopic 3D) that screened daily in the Waka Maori pavilion during the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
After just three years online, NZ On Screen has received 1.5 million visits, a Qantas Media Award and has more than 1700 titles in its collection. NZ On Screen has just released the list of its Top 10 most-watched titles (to Jan 2012), and Britten: Backyard Visionary (made by Taylormade Media) came in first after receiving more than 50,000 views worldwide.
Guggenheim curator Ultan Guilfoyle described John Britten as "the New Zealander who stood the world of racing-motorcycle design on its head." In Britten: Backyard Visionary we are shown Britten as a gentle yet determined man. We see his passions and radical approach to design. Interviews follow the production of the motorbike through to racing it at Daytona. People involved with creating the bike (that won the prestigious Bears race and came second at Daytona in its first race), show the tension of production with limited facilities, time and money.

Michael Glading - New Zealand Open Tournament Director (February 2014) - NZ Open 2015
"We have all been truly overawed with the power... of the system, it's modelling, and it's operation. It is, by a long way, the best 3D that I have worked with anywhere..."

"The 3D graphics deliver an experience for the trainee as close to the real thing as possible. Even sun-strike and raindrops on the cab windows are replicated with incredible realism."
