This is beautifully done! This video takes me back to the many delightful hours I spent watching the special features on the Lord of the Rings movies. What a gorgeously detailed work. I wants it!

Those special features remain unrivalled to this day, they transport you almost as much as the movies themselves

I loved the close ups of some of the paper props. It always amazes me how much thought went into props that the average viewer would probably never even notice, but which gave Middle Earth such a real and lived in feel.
@wetaworkshopnz3 жыл бұрын
The team put an incredible amount of effort into making the world of Middle-earth feel not just alive, but also lived in. It helps both the audience and the actors on set 😊

2:34 Does it for me. The way Bilbo is both looking at you, as well as thinking off and away into the journey.... is captured. This is truly remarkable. What wonderful skill the creators have and their love and respect for their work truly shines. I am so tempted for the large one... heck I guess I could eat toast for a few months hehe, as let's face it guys.... in a years time, or 10... the initial effort to own this will well and truly outshine the initial cost,.... and how many times have you wished you had have taken the plunge and yet still missed out on previous WETA works. Plenty of times for me ...Methinks... not this time :)

Ordered. My first large Weta piece! Question, why does the chimney have that unfinished look? Where there’s a hole in it? Not a complaint, just generally curious.
@wetaworkshopnz3 жыл бұрын
Good question indeed! We thought it looked more interesting to see into the chimney rather than just having a big blocky brick piece sticking out the side. It also keeps in theme with the "cross-section" style of the environment where you can see the interior of the walls and surrounding earth. Hope that answers your question 👍
