EXCLUSIVE: We went behind the scenes with PrimeVideo's Lord of the Rings: TheRingsOfPower to learn how the cast and crew brought the mythic Sundering Seas to life on-screen. LOTRonPrime
If there’s any word that could be used to accurately describe the world of The Lord of the Rings, it’s vast. The fictional setting first envisioned by J.R.R. Tolkien, which began all the way back in 1937 with the publication of The Hobbit, has seen many of its most legendary locations rendered on-screen in countless adaptations, from animation to most recently live-action.
It’s a sequence that takes place early in the first season, beginning in Episode 1 and continuing through a majority of Episode 2, but the team behind the scenes — consisting of director Bayona, as well as visual effects supervisor Ron Ames — knew how important it was to get all the pieces in place long before the cameras started rolling.
Of course, all of this was built and ready to go long before the actors themselves arrived on the scene to begin filming — but Clark and Vickers were also hard at work preparing for what Vickers describes to us as “a grueling, difficult, challenging process.
When it came time for the post-production process, Bayona and Faura’s intent to film wielding as many practical elements as possible ultimately paid off; the director tells us that when he got into the editing room, most of what he wanted for those sequences was already right on the screen in front of him. “The thing is that the set was so big, that the material that we got in the editorial didn't need that much of post-production.
