Lord Of The Rings Scene Analysis

The textures and patterns on the sets within the movie series Lord of the Rings are extremely detailed and quite meticulous. The set builders spent years trying to develop the amount of detail that was used in the film. The set builders employed a wide variety of mediums while in production. For example, the scenes in the great hall employed mainly intricate hand carvings into foam, and just outside the hall, some computer generation was used alongside thatching.
