We’ll see I guess. With the exception of Wayne Yip, I don't actually despise the Writing team. They're at least experienced in the industry as opposed to people that don't have credits to their name. Producers though. Ugh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that Sauron isn’t in the first season much or at all. That scares me and could be horrible I fear. But, it could also work out somehow I guess. I’m just not seeing it.

I almost prefer they stay far away from Sauron. I don't think I could handle Amazon trying to make him an interesting anti-hero as Annatar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I read it wrongly and they’re playing word games. To me that would be sucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hate to say it, but this has all the potential to make the Hobbit trilogy look like a ******* masterpiece. Writers can't even adapt stories nowadays, the idea that they're going to somehow create something new in this universe is a bit depressing.

How many crappy movies have had Spielberg listed as an executive producer for example? Yip being on there won’t determine how bad, mediocre, or good this thing can be.

I think it's highly dependent on what the Producer's role is. Sometimes producers are hugely important, other times it's just glitz and glamor to throw on the trailer.

It’s frustrating because he did direct the first two episodes of WOT. But he also had a hand for two of my favorite Doctor Who episodes (Blink and Heaven Sent).

I think you're thinking of a different guy. Yip is only credited in 3 Dr. Who episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the way the IMDB looks when you look up the guy’s filmography. You see his past accomplishments but it also lists the highest rated episodes in that particular series.

Oregon Ducks Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I will admit that I've only read the Hobbit and a little of LotR but this feels different than the Peter Jackson films, and that's not a bad thing but I'm not getting LotR vibes from the show. Again, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm still hopeful for a good fantasy series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad People Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Couple things that caught my eye in the article “You go back 20 years and we used a basically foam latex, which is like a porous-y kind of rubbery, spongy material with a smooth or whatever textured surface. It was great at the time. But it was actually just at the end of doing Lord of the Rings that we did the very first encapsulated silicon for Gimli. At the end of that, he got to start wearing silicons, but now it's common. So all the ears, noses, Orcs pieces are all made in encapsulated silicon, which is basically two layers of silicon with a moveable piece of silicon in the middle, so when it's applied to the actor's face, they can move and it works. It also gets the same temperature as their skin. And you can see the translucency and then you gently paint on the top of it, a bit like doing makeup on a human rather than having to seal and heavily paint like we did in the old days.” Now, we all love our practical effects, but both Wilson and Weber want to make it clear that this series is a marriage between CGI and practical. (This is the case for every film and series, don’t panic.) But, again, don’t worry about the series looking top-tier. Not only is a close marriage between visual and practical effects commonplace, but the Orcs that you see up close and personal are about as pure practical as you can be. (Note: touch-ups and such will still apply.) “We did decide from the outset that we would try and make this a very real show,” Wilson added. “So therefore, we tried to use real prosthetics and everything and minimize the visual effects, because there are hundreds of productions that are heavy on visual effects, and you can see it, that the human eye is getting better and better and knows what is real and knows what isn't, because we are just getting so deloused with all this product that you begin to know.” Seems like theyre trying their best to have a good balance of CGI and acting? Not too sure what the correct word is maybe its practical effects? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
