I definitely agree that LOTR uses cgi exactly right, but isnt this process more akin to cgi? Prosthetics would have been the definition of practical effects lol

Boy they sure could have used him on the set of “Rust”

Definitely the perfect version….the other versions had a pirate sound to them…

That's so beautiful

Glad they cut this

I always miss a redemption scene for Denethor. Like they discover his palantir and understand that he was always under sauron influence. Whitout that contex its just and odd character, but he was in a magick war with Sauron itself. Heck Saruman gave up with the same tool and Denethor dont. Sure, he go crazy and emo about it but didnt gave up the city and you know Sauron was tryin too. That post death discovery would have deepened the character and redeemed it.

Someday they might fix Frodo running into Mount Doom.

Is that the guy from lost?

You know we will never see such a masterpiece as The Lord of The Rings again don't you?

If he is Sean’s scale double, why is he wearing the Frodo wig?

Kiss from an orc for being hit. I feel like he was going to 10 different orcs after each take and being like “hey, you hit me on the head” 🤣🤣🤣

"The *absolute* last scene" except for the scenes they filmed after it... 😂😂😂 No shade! Love your channel! Just silly 😜

It's so creepy but cool❤

…and welcome back to battlefront updates ;)

Here's the thing and I don't mean rl physics. Elves can be absurdly light as Legolas didn't even sink into the snow while everyone else was trudging through it. So He'd not weigh enough to slide down the stone steps like that as the shield would end up tumbling down the stairs rather than sliding. it would be more realistic if he floated down the stairs like a feather, or Princess Peach, given elves can control their density apparently in Tolkien's world.

Sean is my kind of guy. I am the exact same way haha

The LOTR Trilogy isn't just great adaptations of fantasy but great Films in general. The Acting, Writing, Cinematography, Music, CGI, Costumes, Makeup, Special Effects, and even the Environmental Shots were amazing. The only thing I could compare it too is the Dune Films by Denis Villeneuve.

I’m always stunned by the $$$$ they waste by building sets, getting all the cast members together and support staff and running the cameras then not using it.

Joe bartolozzi ahh stare

I would asked for a real sharp sword to keep in character.

I bought the trilogy not too long ago on 4k. my god the movies look absolutely beautiful on 4k. I highly recommend getting them.

I love these videos ❤❤❤

❤❤

TOO BE FAIR- helicopter accidents happen A LOT. Also Sam was a young parent and they tend to be more anxious and mistrustful than a bunch of 19-20 something single men 😂

These shorts give me life.. ❤

I know a lot of you are asking for Sir Ian M., but he's north of 80 now and I worry about that. Mr. Chris Lee is passed, Ian H. gone. Bernard H. gone. So I dunno how feasible that'll be. It was glaringly obvious that Chris Lee wasn't in the best of health in the Hobbit. I also worry about the stories being entitely fan fiction. If it does get released; I'll wait for the reviews by priper LoTR/Tolkien fans and scholars before spending my time; lest I risk wasting my time.

They had doubles for all the hobits. Props to those guys. They seemed to have a bunch of fun too.

I like Terrence Hills eyes more ngl

I would love to see a video similar about Return of the King

No, ZERO credit! I being a fan though not hardcore but still i first seen or heard of these fellows just now.

The best scene is when Eomer finds her on the battle field, thinking she is dead. The crumpled, distraught expression of grief on his face was overwhelming. Shame they cut it out of the butchered, Theatrical, cut version. But I only bought the Uncut DVDs. They were not "extended" at all. They were uncut. Butcher-free. {o:O:}

They should've kept it in, they could've added something akin to a hope to the future but a memory of the past type of music while they were dressing him in his armor. I know some of you will say that the song he sings is exactly that but no it isn't it's him basically taking an oath to his first forefather that landed on middle earth and promising to create a future for him and his people just like the first king did

This horse is RDJ in Tropic Thunder of animal world

“She literally was crying in pain and terror.” “Great. G’day let’s do 87 more takes then and we’ll break for lunch.”

RIP King Theoden… Hope you’re finally at peace with your forefathers💔

Who's to say he wasn't intentionally trying to drive a wedge between his daughter and Aragorn the whole time because HE wanted to be the queen? He would have made a strong and noble wife.

Awww

Blue eyes are more prone to certain eye problems Both my siblings have blue eyes and were in glasses by middle school. I've got hazel eyes and don't need glasses at all.

as they say one dose not simply walk into mordor. Apearantly thats true. Its full of explosives.

"The world's largest condom" we just gonna ignore that?

His impressive of Ian is spot on 😂

I'm a little confused. I've been watching muuuch of the behind the scenes footage from the LOTR trilogy, but somehow you always show me something I've never seen before!

All Hail the Victorious dead!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

As far as deleted scenes go, I think the worst offender is the death of Saruman. I seem to recall Christopher Lee being somewhat hurt that his final scene didn't make the theatrical cut. (And I suspect that he already may have been disappointed knowing that the Scouring of the Shire was never going to be included at all.) Thankfully, though, he got another chance with The Hobbit, and while I know many people don't think as highly of those movies, I feel like his final scene there made for a better sendoff for the character.

More Arwen

I think the extra work really shows. It's a scene that COULD have been filmed simply, but it's a blessing that it wasn't. The reason the average viewer doesn't think it took so long is because of the craft that went into it, and into this trilogy at every level. It COULD have been a simple point-and-shoot but that would have stood out. Sometimes the extra effort going into simple scenes are what makes the difference between a good film and a great film

He also actually got stabbed by shelob

Nobody talks about that perfect Indian accent impersonation 😂?

Even watching the short gives me goosebumps!!!!
