L.O.T.R Case Study -

 TECHNOLOGY:

→ Who is making the new Lord of the Rings series?

produced by Amazon Studios in cooperation with the Tolkien Estate and Trust, HarperCollins, and New Line Cinema, with Payne and McKay serving as showrunners. Amazon bought the television rights for The Lord of the Rings for US$250 million in November 2017, making a five season production commitment worth at least US$1 billion.


→ Where was this being filmed?

Although the trilogy of movies were all shot in Peter Jackson's home country New Zealand, the filming of the new Lord of the Rings series will take place in Scotland. Therefore, originally in New Zealand. 


→ Where have they just moved production to?

Moved from New Zealand to Scotland UK in the Amazon Studios.


→ What technology is being used in this TV series as a result of not filming 'on location' like the movies were?

The new production team will have to use advanced technology to make the new series of Lord of the Rings follow the original movie set location like the one in New Zealand. 

Digital technology has progressed to a very advanced point. Compare the powerful digital cameras of today with the analog ones from the past. Even our smartphone cameras have evolved. Far from the point-and-shoot mechanics of cameras, phones can now record 360-degree views. 3D rendering allows films to insert individuals in a film that aren’t actually there. This particular technology got a lot of visibility in the Fast and Furious franchise. When Paul Walker tragically passed away in a car accident. The studio used Paul’s brothers Caleb and Cody to fill in. It did this by using digital technology to superimpose Paul’s image on their body.

Autonomous Drone Cameras; 3D Printing; 4K 3D Cameras; Algorithmic Video Editing; Cloud-based Technologies

Preliminary Task Two - Final Edit.

  Here is my Final Edit. The After Effects that I have used in my film include the following: Our Production logo that is shown at the very beginning of the film, this is counted as one of my after effects as I took time to Update the logo from the original to what it is now. As you can see the difference when you watch my Preliminary Task One and then my Preliminary Task Two.  My Other After Effects used is the credits, when the names 'Niav Rice' & 'Pheobe Armitage', this after effect is called a slow fade animation on letters. An extra After Effect I added was a 'Glitch' On one of my actors, this one is not visible at first but you can definitely see the glitch, this Effect is used 0:25 seconds into the short film.
