"At the Department of Conservation, I worked with Chris Keenan for over
ten years. His firm created films commissioned by DOC that included both
historical interpretative pieces and films explaining and promoting DOC
ecosystem management. I was repeatedly impressed with Chris’s ability to
bring together all the components of the films including animation, film
footage, sound, still images and script. He is a team player who
combines creative intellect with great technical ability and always
delivered a product which exceeded expectations. "

in 3D to its original rail configuration circa 1908. The completion
of this viaduct created the first rail link between Wellington and
Auckland and opened up the central North Island to development.
