We’re so lucky they filmed Lord of the Rings when they did. Twenty years later, they would’ve had Viggo Mortensen riding a green bike that they CGI into a horse because that’s better for some reason.

Isengard and Orthanc? Bigature (miniature but like, the size of a tennis court). Minas Tirith? Bigature. Helm’s Deep, the Black Gate, Barad-dur, Minas Morgul, Osgiliath, even elements of Lothlorien, Moria, and the Grey Havens? BIGATURES. Hobbits and Gandalf in one shot? Almost always tricks of perspective with, for example, a table set that was made in 3 pieces to move and make you think Tiny Elijah Wood™ was sitting at the same table as Giant Ian McKellan™, not greenscreen. They literally went so far as to make the Hobbits’ clothes (on the taller actors, not their little stunt doubles) with thicker thread to make their smallness look real.

Those statues, the Gates of Argonath? CG. The gorge and the boats? Real.

This is Richard Taylor with the bigature for a sense of scale from the behind the scenes special features (ngl, I want them to frame my front door) :

And this is what it looked like with all the lighting and framing put in place, with bluescreens to add background and foreground digitally:

And the gorge they transposed it over:

And the final result with the transposed river and sky and matched up colour-grading:

There is so much detail on the bigatures as well, that they incorporated the concept that the statues were only carved out of the cliffsides to a point, but that they constructed a quarry and cut the rock to build the rest. The bigatures actually include the worn down and aged remains of the quarry.

Ingo hears the rumbles of something massive and metal rushing through the underground caves. It sounds somewhat familiar.

We have a new youtube video up! Watch us turn this horrendous thumbnail into a fully rendered copic piece in the video.

How it started VS how it’s going - animation edition!

Been slowly but surely working on this animated music video with Bofur and Leanna. Sort of an oc x canon appreciation thing, but also for myself! (Yes, Bofur is very hard to animate!) Lmk if anyone wants to help ~

Looking for a unique gift for someone? Ever think about a custom My Little Pony with the theming that the person would love? No? How about you think about it.

I am taking custom orders for My Little Pony for this Holiday Season.

Simple customs are anything that will not need special pieces made for them (ie any clothing, sculpting, accessories added) like the ladies in this picture, start at $35.00.

Anything that needs sculpting, clothing, or special additions, will start at $45.00 and increase as it gets more complicated.
