Taking a cue from Weta and the magic that was Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings, we talk about function informing design. Let's get to it.

I like how it informs the actors and stuntmen of how to act and what role the uruk might play. I like how it's a small detail, yet behind the scenes, the cast talked about how it pushed them to bring their A-game. Brilliant movies, directing, and production.

If you want to read an actual military historian break down the Uruk-Hai's equipment, look up A Collection Of Unmitigated Pedantry. They've written up a massive analysis of Saruman's brief war with the Rohirrim, covering everything from the overall strategy, the composition and organisation of all the forces involved, and the operational movements they make in the field, to the particulars of the battles and the tactics displayed by all sides. Part vi (6) addresses the Uruk-Hai's equipment in-depth (spoilers: it doesn't make much sense). They've got a bunch of other huge essays tackling various worldbuilding topics, all with plentiful references, sources and citations. The writer really does his homework for this stuff, and it's incredibly informative, enlightening and inspiring.

Do the same video on Sauron's armor, this is awesome. You should do more of these.

Tolkien definitely deserves a very high seat at the table, however, he did use a lot of nuanced references to older mythology, specifically, Norse/Scandinavian who had elves, dwarves, etc. (also if you’re interested there’s a great podcast on this called the ring and I on radiolab) 🍻

hey man amazing video and tips on world-building. I also wanted to ask if there was a section in the behind the scenes that discusses how the rohan and elven armor were designed? I'd love to see another vid like this

@AllThingsLich 3 жыл бұрын

Hey thanks for the comment. Yes, they went into a bit about elven design and armor. Much of the details about the elves was based around their architecture and overall aesthetic, which naturally informed armor design. Great stuff, if not as in depth as the Uruk-Hai parts. As to Rohan, there wasn't much - if anything, about armor specifically. Similar to discussion of overall aesthetic for dwarves and elves, they did cover the horse motif and the Rohan culture, which impacted design - from buildings (Edoras) and armor. As to another video, I think I'll do one! I'm a huuuuuge fan of Jackson's behind the scenes stuff!

@@AllThingsLich I absolutely love the designs of Mordor, the aesthetic of dryness and death and pain permeates just about everything. One of my favorites was the armor design for the Mouth of Sauron's horse, it perfectly matches the description of a head that seemed more hideous skull than animal.

@@Palafico3 I love the parts about Warren Mahy capturing the essence of Uruk'Hai. The way the design team embraced the artists that captured the aesthetic of "evil" better than others.
