Hello everyone,
Just joined the forum and thout I would introduce myself and the service I am setting up, I am the founder of Presentation Cartography(http://presentationcartography.com) a new data visualisation business based in windy Wellington. We have been developing a next gen data visualisation engine and among the first set of things we are putting out there are weather movies via our YouTube channel http://youtube.com/user/VisualCortexMedia.
At the moment what we have is based off gfs global data sourced from the us, but as we can find and afford better data we will use it. I'm very keen to hear any constructive criticism or feedback from people about what they would like to see in terms of visualisation features or effects or different weather areas and any ideas for how we could develop weather vis for users and markets that are under served at the moment.
Take a look and I hope you enjoy!

That's awesome! A bit of competition for Metra. I like it, good luck.
Another good source for model data with higher resolution would be the Bureau of Meteorology's ACCESS-R model which has New Zealand in that domain. On the pricey side though. You could even run your own MM5 off the GFS data quite cheaply.

I worked at MetService for 9 years, I was the lead developer on their tv weather product Weatherscape. I left and started up my own business to do data vis because I knew it was possible to do much much better! Not sure if MetService/Metra will be in that business for long. Not sure if MetService will be around at all in the medium to long term.
Interesting thought about the access r model, I'll look into it. I'm keen to check out pricing and availability of the new NIWA model.

Awesome. Would be good to see a city forecast that has rain or showers. I think it would look really good.

Re: New weather movies for NZ and elsewhere
Just about to add weather data driven sound effects to the movies.... Should be quite fun.
