Early life and educationWooten was born in Essex, England in 1969, and his family moved to New Zealand when he was three.[1] He grew up in Whakatane. As a teenager, he was interested in Dungeons & Dragons as well as The Lord of the Rings.[2] Wootten completed a degree in zoology at the University of Otago in Dunedin before moving to Christchurch where he studied Graphic Art at Christchurch Polytechnic.[2] CareerImmediately on graduating Wootten began working at the Weta Workshop as a designer and started to work on the films of Peter Jackson.[3] At first Wootten worked on King Kong (which was originally planned to be made before The Lord of the Rings trilogy). When Kong was canceled Wootten began to work on designs for Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. A notable piece of work there was being closely involved in designing the Balrog.{{Citation needed|date=November 2010}} Wooten designed both Aragorn’s Strider sword and Boromir’s sword at Weta Workshop.[4] He has also worked on the film The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
