    The whole project was kissed by magic or something. I mean, how is it possible that so many incredible masters of their craft came together, created a timeless master piece of art and they even found time to joke during production?! These will forever be my favourite movies.

      Real sets do have their own magic, and it makes life easier for the actors but a nightmare for everyone else. The biggest reason why cgi is so much more prevalent these days then back when LOTR was made is that it’s significantly cheaper and easier to do it now. Back in the 2000s it was simply (as crazy as it sounds) easier to build miniatures and large scale sets, than to build it all on a computer.

    He is so impressed over that one TFLOP of computing power that was set up in only 3 weeks....
    I'm trying to guess how he would have reacted if he knew that in late 2017 you were already able to put 110 TFLOPS into your computer by just simply slotting a card in.... took seconds...
    That's kind of depressing and awesome at the same time.

    • @LiterallyGod

      Well, LOTR scooped all the Oscars and I don't remember the Hobbit doing that. I know there were lots of problems on Hobbit but I think he means Technically and logistically here! But LOVED this footage. I thought I had seen all the extras and blogs, but it is so GREAT to see something new after all this time!

    • @UltromanTheTacoman
      @UltromanTheTacoman 6 років тому +10

      The Hobbit was obviously harder, but because of the very different circumstances. Del Toro had already set up most of the movie, and then PJ had to come in, with no time at all, and change it to be more what he would've done, with only a few weeks to prep, where he spent 7 years on LOTR storyboarding, planning, prep etc.. I didn't know how terrible a situation it was on The Hobbit, until I watched one of these videos on it. Now I know why it ended up being terrible in comparison.
