When I was an extra on Lord of the Rings "Weta" was a distinct step of getting into the costumes. The three steps would be something like:
1. Weta (for the Urukai this would be the wetsuit-esque muscles outfit, armour and helmet/mask - before the combined them)
2. Wardrobe (The rags laid over the armour)
3. Makeup (not really needed for the Urukhai except I seem to remember they used to darken around our eyes)
The order would be slightly changed for the elf costume with makeup playing a larger part (this also involved the wigs).
It's hard to imagine what part the teams involved with this would be doing for Unity!
