Lindsey Weber talked about how they had to get it right as it is inherent to JRR Tolkien. She also said it all depends on the perspective and how one looks at it, and by that she means it can either look like a delightful challenge or a headache. Highlighting the difficulty of the task, Lindsey said, “It can be slow and tedious at times to make it all work, but hopefully the final product and magic trick feels really worth it and very Tolkienian.”
Talking about how the team managed to establish some of the shots, Lindsey said that it is like a carefully coordinated dance. Furthermore, the producer also said that sometimes it is as simple as ‘double rolling down a slope only to be replaced by the actor in the end.’ She also said that they use ‘old-school Lumière camera tricks’ to get some of the shots right.
