New Galadriel BTS
>Fears that evil could be rearing its terrible head in Middle-earth are predominantly held by a more youthful — and more brazen — Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), and the Elven warrior sets out to fight on behalf of a future that may not come to pass if no one chooses to do so. Her journey takes her through many stunning places, one of them being the mythic Sundering Seas of Arda (also known as Belegaer), located between Middle-earth and Númenor, where she begrudgingly relies on a human named Halbrand (Charlie Vickers) after the two are stranded together in the height of a massive storm.
Yeah, no thanks
>It’s a sequence that takes place early in the first season, beginning in Episode 1 and continuing through a majority of Episode 2, but the team behind the scenes — consisting of director Bayona, as well as visual effects supervisor Ron Ames — knew how important it was to get all the pieces in place long before the cameras started rolling. Filming the entire sequence — consisting of 195 different shots over a span of another three weeks — in two water tanks, one outdoors, which was built to be around 10 feet at its deepest point and could hold up to 2.5 million liters of water, the other a smaller, 1.2 million liter dive tank with a maximum depth of 16 feet.
>“We’re creating this storm basically in a teacup,” Ames says. And their method of doing so is a lot more practical than some might expect; in order to have more exacting control over the rising tempest, which comes on in the background as Galadriel and Halbrand are “having a heated conversation,” in Ames’ words, the special effects crew, consisting of 20 techs operating the set itself, hauled in large 5 x 14 ton diggers with plates mounted on them, installed to be deployed around three opposing sides of the outdoor tank. It allowed the production team to control the storm themselves — they could literally engineer the waves, right down to the exact height that was required.
>To hear Ames tell it, the percentage of what was created for the Sundering Seas practically versus virtually is about 50/50 — and Industrial Light & Magic, one of the numerous VFX teams tasked with designing the show’s effects, rooted their techniques in what could be found in the natural world to enhance the scope of Sundering Seas on-screen. “We went out both with a marine unit and helicopters and shot ocean plates, because New Zealand, their coastline is so gorgeous and beautiful,” says Ames. “So we had really good reference, and in some cases, we used the actual water.”
>It isn’t just the storm that Halbrand and Galadriel, who Vickers says “end up using each other to survive,” have to contend with in the Sundering Seas. Most of the team that we spoke with could only allude to so much, and some of what was shared with us was even too spoilery to divulge yet, but what we are allowed to reveal is that there is a greater threat lurking beneath the choppy waves, one that will lead to an altogether separate sequence that was filmed in the aforementioned dive tank and required the actors to draw on all the underwater training they learned.
Sounds like they are hinting at the inclusion of Sea-serpents
I mean this was on their maps
Chad pose
Based Morf channelling the Teleri goddess aesthetic, what a babe
How much do you get paid to shill on Cinemaphile?
same as (you)
I thought elves were supposed to be tall and lithe not womanlets
Yeah but they also cast people >6ft to play dwarves/hobbits so its not that big an issue really
Does Galadriel has sex?
Maybe they will show how Celebrian was REALLY conceived
waste of water. Could be fixed with CGI. Bunch of morons
Thanks for copy pasting the article for us Amazon shill
few more BTS but it's more of the same really
>noooo not production discussion on muh maymay board
>Black person elves and niggress dwarf kween and Black person hobbits
Won’t watch, astroturfing israelite
In fact the OP picture is in camera, this is them shooting it
I guess when you are fat and doing a scene in a water tank its kinda hard to hide your thunder thighs, and non existent breasts.
Gross.
Casting agents should get the rope for this
unf
2/10 would not bang, right?
thighs
Galadriel's new bf
frick off, how often do we have to tell you shills that we don't give a shit about your pozzed up fanfic of a show
>put love and care into make this shows kino but not in the casting
What did they mean by this?
The casting is mostly good though
Cool but you can keep your fan fiction
Did they make the planks out of foam?
idk exactly the material but i highly doubt they will use real wood for much of that raft considering they are subjecting them to near storm conditions, risk of injury would be too high
>Galadriel ... sets out to fight on behalf of a future that may not come to pass if no one chooses to do so
has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Is this anon dead? Somebody backtrace him, I think his fricking brain popped
have a nice day, newbie.
Suck a dick, moron
I just did, your turn.
So they're just inserting elf/human/dwarf interracial relationships that aren't canon
I doubt they will put Galadriel in a relationship with some random oc human kek
a shame they put so much money on this, and they taint the product casting ugly Black folk on it.
