01x06 - Weta Workshop | Lord of the Rings Behind the Scenes

This documentary introduces Weta Workshop (and its design crew of sculptors and set-designers), renowned artists Alan Lee and John Howe who were brought on to join them in conceptual design, and costume designer Ngila Dickson. Topics covered include the design of Middle-earth cultures portrayed in the film, the making of props and settings for Hobbiton, Rivendell, the Orthanc interior, and Caras Galadhon, and the complicated processes of prosthetics. This video features discussions of the film’s miniatures as well as the building of the monsters, prosthetics, and additional practical pieces. Mostly we watch Richard Taylor as he walks through the different props and other things and tells us about them. That may sound dry, but the presentation mixes up the media enough to keep matters interesting. The material about hobbit feet and other alterations to the actors seems especially interesting. *☞CHAPTERS* “Weta Workshop“ 00:00 “Design Work“ 2:53 “Construction“ 7:42 “Creature Design“ 9:52 “Prosthetics“ 15:16 “Armor Department“ 23:49 “Weapon Department“ 33:29 ────────── *YOUTUBE* ────────── 🎬 The Fellowship of the Ring behind the scenes: 🎬 Lord of the Rings Behind the Scenes: 🎬 Watch our most recent videos: 🔴 Subscribe for more behind the scene videos: ────────── *SOCIALS* ────────── 🐦Twitter: 📝Patreon: #LordOfTheRings #FellowshipOfTheRing #Appendices #BehindTheScenes
