Wait! The Awesome Title Reveal For THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER Was Shot Practically!?
Whoa! So, over the weekend, I learned that the awesome title reveal video for Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power was shot practically! That title reveal was not CGI and that kind of blew my mind and made the whole thing even more awesome!
I don’t know how I missed this, but there’s a whole behind-the-scenes video that shows the making of it! You have got to watch this thing because it’s so freakin’ radical! It’s so cool to see the process they went through to shoot this thing!
The video came with the following note:
The title sequence of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power was not a CGI creation but rather achieved practically at a foundry using molten metals, reclaimed redwood, sparkler dust, argon pours, liquid hydrogen and more. Multiple pours of molten metal were shot with the Phantom Flex 4K camera until the creators got the exact effect they were looking for. The series will premiere on September 2, 2022, on Prime Video.
I’m impressed! I’ve included the title reveal video first, and then you can watch the video to see how they shot that shit!
