Gil-Galad · 04-26-2004, 06:45 AM

umm...did i get it right?

Anorial · 04-26-2004, 07:48 AM

No, you didn't guess anything. Yes, they taunted them, but what did they call them?...they had a specific name with which they referred to them.

Lindir · 04-26-2004, 02:31 PM

Was it cupcakes?
I thought I heard that somewhere.

Anorial · 04-26-2004, 06:45 PM

Lindir got it!

Kath · 04-30-2004, 02:57 AM

Is Lindir going to answer?

Anorial · 04-30-2004, 07:54 AM

Lindir, now you've got to ask a question

Samwise · 04-30-2004, 08:09 PM

Lindir's got 6 more days to answer.

Kath · 05-01-2004, 02:33 PM

Yes but we're impatient.

Sirithheruwen · 05-01-2004, 05:09 PM

Try PMing Lindir. I have PMing disabled, so I can't, but that's the best way.

Orcrist · 05-01-2004, 05:56 PM

I PMed Lindir, so hopefully we'll get a question soon. This long wait probably means he has a really hard question

Edit: Hey folks, don't waste bandwidth with your impatience. (This is not aimed particularly at you Orcrist. I'm just editing to save making a new post.)

Lindir · 05-02-2004, 11:19 AM

Sorry to keep ya'll waiting. thank you Orcrist for PMing me, I haven't been able to get to the computer this week. OK

What did the art staff put on the leaves in Rivendell to make it look like autumn?

Anorial · 05-03-2004, 06:50 PM

Food coloring?

Orcrist · 05-03-2004, 07:44 PM

Blood?

Samwise · 05-03-2004, 09:19 PM

Paint?

Kath · 05-04-2004, 08:23 AM

Gold spray paint?

Lindir · 05-04-2004, 02:24 PM

Nope. (There's 3 things that I know of, but you'll only have to list one.)

Hint: 2 of them are spices.

Anorial · 05-04-2004, 06:11 PM

paprika!

Orcrist · 05-04-2004, 08:42 PM

Nutmeg

Anorial · 05-04-2004, 08:56 PM

Saffron! (though unlikely cause it would've cost a fortune). Curry powder!

Samwise · 05-04-2004, 09:01 PM

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme? J/K

Cinnamon?

Lindir · 05-05-2004, 02:36 PM

yep. Anoriel's right. paprika. They also used mustard powder, or something like that.
Your turn

Anorial · 05-05-2004, 09:06 PM

Very cool....who would've thought of that!?!? "We need the forest to look like autumn but we aren't allowed to do anything to harm the forest." "Let's use paprika!" Man, people can be very smart.

Okay, here's one for the mathematical set: What was the minimum amount of silicone Weta was using daily?

Kath · 05-06-2004, 01:28 PM

Was it something like two tonnes a day?

Lindir · 05-06-2004, 02:38 PM

Was it 3 tubs?
(I think they call it tubs...if not, barrels...oh whatever.

)

Anorial · 05-06-2004, 10:26 PM

Nope, not 2 tonnes and not 3 tubs or barrels. It's measured in gallons

Sleepy Ranger · 05-07-2004, 01:36 AM

um, minimum..... 1 gallon?

Kath · 05-07-2004, 03:42 AM

OK 2 gallons then.

Anorial · 05-07-2004, 06:58 AM

Nope, not 1 or 2 gallons...isn't that like a milk jug or two? Think about what they were using it for (feet!) and how many of those they needed and were making. (lots!)

Kath · 05-07-2004, 03:03 PM

2000 gallons!

Lindir · 05-07-2004, 03:12 PM

150 or 200 gallons?

Anorial · 05-07-2004, 06:06 PM

Nope to all guesses

So how does this work? Do I let you guys struggle or spill the beans cause you're obviously guessing?

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-07-2004, 06:12 PM

I would have thought that people should be up to doing a bit of research.

Son of Númenor · 05-08-2004, 06:51 AM

Well, I'm stumped. I searched google on 'weta silicone', 'weta lord of the rings silicone daily use', and about 1000 other combinations. I even went to www.lordoftherings.net and read all the production articles.

Short of calling a Weta executive, I can't think of much else to do!

symestreem · 05-08-2004, 09:29 AM

The Lord of the Rings: the Making of the Movie Trilogy by Brian Sibley yields the following information:

Quote:

"Weta became the biggest users of silicone in New Zealnd," says Tania. "We were getting through at least a 44-gallon drum every single day!"

p. 128, Making Faces

Anorial · 05-08-2004, 11:04 AM

symestreem got it!

Orcrist · 05-18-2004, 08:29 PM

Who was Frodo's scale double?

Bombadil · 05-18-2004, 08:43 PM

i believe his name was Karen?

Orcrist · 05-18-2004, 09:05 PM

Wrong spelling, and I need his last name.

Anorial · 05-19-2004, 07:10 AM

Kiran Shah

Orcrist · 05-20-2004, 08:22 PM

Go ahead Anorial
