The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

wieso cgi-orks wenn geld keine rolle spielt oh man ey

As with Jackson’s Lord of the Rings’ films, practical effects remain very important to the creatives behind Rings of Power And, like the Orcs, prosthetics and chemicals have evolved since Orcs first started ruining the lives of the Fellowship and their allies.

“Time has changed a lot,” says Wilson. “You go back 20 years and we used a basically foam latex, which is like a porous-y kind of rubbery, spongy material with a smooth or whatever textured surface. It was great at the time. But it was actually just at the end of doing Lord of the Rings that we did the very first encapsulated silicon for Gimli. At the end of that, he got to start wearing silicons, but now it's common. So all the ears, noses, Orcs pieces are all made in encapsulated silicon, which is basically two layers of silicon with a moveable piece of silicon in the middle, so when it's applied to the actor's face, they can move and it works. It also gets the same temperature as their skin. And you can see the translucency and then you gently paint on the top of it, a bit like doing makeup on a human rather than having to seal and heavily paint like we did in the old days.”

Now, we all love our practical effects, but both Wilson and Weber want to make it clear that this series is a marriage between CGI and practical. (This is the case for every film and series, don’t panic.)

“The most sophisticated prosthetics are thin and nimble and allow people to move their mouths really freely and emote in all the ways human faces do,” says Weber. “We work really hard to make our prosthetics really thin and more comfortable for our performers and all of that. But there are times when they're wearing things, teeth for example, and all sorts of other stuff that do make that hard. And over time, as you're shooting, those things can just take on a little wear and tear as the day goes along.”

Wilson agreed, adding, “in this particular production, we work very closely. In fact, directly together because at the end of the day, you will have visual effects involved, that might be minor tweaks, right. A lot of it, because bear in mind, when you get into stunts and action, some of the stuff the human physically can't do. So therefore it turns into a visual effect. So there was a lot of that. Also, a lot of stuff with prosthetics is beasts and creatures that then need further enhancements or whatever. So there was a very close link.”

But, again, don’t worry about the series looking top-tier. Not only is a close marriage between visual and practical effects commonplace, but the Orcs that you see up close and personal are about as pure practical as you can be. (Note: touch-ups and such will still apply.)

“When they are up close to the camera, Orcs are really practical and almost exclusively,” notes Weber. “And the places where the visual effects team help we're in more numbers when we need larger quantities than you could amass on a film set anywhere in the world. That's what they sort of, when they come in and do some of, work their magic. We did a lot of planning so that we knew in advance which performers would be closest to camera and they looked fast and then as you get further back, they had simpler applications in some cases to allow for those things because it was so important to us to have them all be as in camera as they could be to get everyone in the mood and make it feel real as we were shooting.”

ich appreciate deinen optimismus und struggle

aber sorry das is doch gerendert diese bilder
 
mir gefällt die rolle als berichterstatter hier im thread, meine einstellung ist neutral

es wird nicht sein was tolkien fans sich gewünscht haben, aber das teuerste serienspektakel ever wirds sein
 
Ich war mir auf den ersten Blick auch sehr unsicher, ob das Masken sind oder CGI, aber ganz ehrlich, wenn CGI so gut aussieht, dann ist das auch in Ordnung, auch wenn ich Masken immer bevorzugen werde. Es liegen Welten zwischen denen und den hingeschissenen Orcs aus der Hobbit Trilogie.
 
Dir Orks sehen ganz cool aus. CGI oder nicht. Jetzt noch alle der perfekt gestylten Teenies aus dem Trailer recasten und diese PS3 Grafiken bei dieser Bergszene im Trailer etc. reshooten und das wird was
 
The Rings of Power Exclusive: Everything You Need to Know About Celebrimbor

https://www.fandom.com/articles/rings-of-power-elf-celebrimbor

1200

Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards, left) with Elrond (Robert Aramayo), whom he sends to court the Dwarves in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Celebrimbor’s story is a fascinating one – and one which the new show is set to explore and build on in some depth. We can’t wait – and if you’re a Tolkien fan you probably can’t either. But wait we must, at least until the show premieres in September. So, before then, we’re bringing you tantalizing exclusive first-look images of the character of Celebrimbor as he will appear in The Rings of Power, alongside an overview of the character as outlined by Tolkien — and an in-depth chat with actor Charles Edwards, who plays the pivotal Elf, shedding new light on the role Celebrimbor plays.


im interview ist zu spüren, dass der schauspieler sich sehr mit der rolle auseinandergesetzt hat (oder zynisch: sehr gut auf dieses interview vorbereitet wurde). insgesamt ein pluspunkt, dieser artikel.

“He’s the Lord of Eregion — and being a lord is something akin to royalty — which is very close to Khazad-dûm,” says Charles Edwards as he begins to explain Celebrimbor’s place in the story. Khazad-dûm is otherwise known as Moria and is the ancient underground kingdom of the Dwarves of Durin’s Folk that existed beneath the Misty Mountains. “He’s actively trying to turn Eregion into a place of excellence. And he is working with the Dwarves towards that end to try and capitalize on their talents and their creativity.”

Tolkien has said that in the Second Age, there had never been a time when the Dwarves and Elves worked so closely together and got on so well.

“In our story, Celebrimbor encourages and assists Elrond to visit Khazad-dûm and to court the Dwarves,” adds Edwards. “He may have an ulterior motive for that, but Celebrimbor is very much in support of working together … neither race would have produced the wonders that they had, that they created, without the aid of the other. So clearly, we’re in a time of peace, certainly in terms of working relationship, and [Celebrimbor] has a great respect for them. And Dwarves have a reputation as being fanatical workers, and jewellers and crafters, and Celebrimbor very much respects that.”

The beginnings of Celebrimbor’s alliance with the Dwarves is what Season 1 of The Rings of Power explores and it’s a partnership that Sauron, under the guise of another form, seeks to take advantage of.
 

MEET HIGH KING GIL-GALAD FROM THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER

"... It’s almost like he can smell it in the air. And not only that. He’s got this connection with the life force of Middle-earth, almost as if he can feel the tentacles of evil slithering beneath the crust of Middle-earth. And he knows it’s there. And so, it begs the question what am I going to do about it?”
 
DAS soll Gil-Galad sein??? Oh man, der passt wirklich 0,0 in mein Bild :(

Gil-Galad was an elven king
of him the harpers sadly sing
the last whose realm was fair and free
beyond the mountains and the sea

His sword was long, his lance was keen
his shining helm afar was seen
and thousand stars of heavens field
were mirrored in his silver shield

But long ago he rode away
and where he dwelleth none can say
for into darkness fell his star
in Mordor, where the shadows are
:(

Ein gerendertes Bild zu Werbezwecken ist da aber nicht wirklich aussagekräftig.

Hat leider diesen Seifenopern wizard of oz look wie auch schon der Hobbit.
 
am schlimmsten finde ich das grünzeug, das die hobbits in den haaren haben, das schreckt mich extrem ab (radagast vibes). finde einige szenen im teaser sehen gut aus, vor allem arondir
