Anorial · 06-24-2004, 12:42 AM

Darn! I can't remember where I saw that.

Somewhere around 21 fake dead horses were made. I do remember seeing that somewhere....now where the heck was that?.....

Lindir · 06-24-2004, 11:08 AM

was it 150? i think

Anorial · 06-24-2004, 12:21 PM

Can I change my answer?

Anorial · 06-24-2004, 02:34 PM

Okay, I can't wait any longer

40 fake dead horses were made

Samwise · 06-24-2004, 05:41 PM

I have no clue either.

1,000 ?

Orcrist · 06-27-2004, 09:50 PM

Anorial got it.

Anorial · 07-01-2004, 12:34 AM

Okay, here's one that I find interesting (hopefully you will too):

Prior to The Fellowship of the Rings, most movies had only parts or certain scenes digitally graded (adjusting colors, contrast etc. using computers). According to Peter Jackson (and he should know!), what percentage of Fellowship was adjusted digitally?

wilwarin538 · 07-01-2004, 07:42 AM

Im gonna give a guess, 65%?

Kath · 07-01-2004, 03:23 PM

Well there must have been something in pretty much every scene so 95%?

Mad Baggins · 07-01-2004, 05:17 PM

80%?

Samwise · 07-01-2004, 08:11 PM

75%?

Anorial · 07-05-2004, 05:30 PM

Well, two of you are very close and equally close so I'm going to have to require the exact percentage.

Sleepy Ranger · 07-06-2004, 02:23 AM

um, 83%?

Gil-Galad · 07-06-2004, 09:36 AM

77%?

Mad Baggins · 07-06-2004, 10:58 AM

92.765%

Just kidding...

92%?

Sleepy Ranger · 07-06-2004, 11:03 AM

um changing my older answer 78%

Orcrist · 07-06-2004, 11:58 AM

88%

Anorial · 07-06-2004, 01:11 PM

There's a real obvious one y'all are missing!

wilwarin538 · 07-06-2004, 01:22 PM

100%?

Lindir · 07-06-2004, 01:43 PM

85%?

paavo · 07-06-2004, 03:19 PM

0%?

Anorial · 07-06-2004, 07:19 PM

Sorry paavo and wilwarin...not that obvious I guess

Lindir's got the right idea...think, would Peter Jackson say "47.23% of the movie was digitally graded"? No! Also, check out the extras on the FotR DVD EE for the answer.

paavo · 07-07-2004, 03:15 PM

50 % then?

symestreem · 07-07-2004, 05:59 PM

70%?

Nirvana II · 07-07-2004, 06:06 PM

50%?????????

Anorial · 07-07-2004, 07:49 PM

Phew!! symestreem got it. I think it's pretty remarkable that they went over 70% of the movie, tweaking and adjusting it. For any of you who work on computers, especially with Photoshop or something, you can just imagine how much work that is! Just another example of how awesome PJ and the gang were!

Over to you symestreem!

Anorial · 07-12-2004, 08:11 PM

symestreem, I got an email saying you'd posted a question about Brad Dourif....where did it go!?

symestreem · 07-12-2004, 08:19 PM

Name three things the makeup people did to Brad Dourif's face.

Anorial · 07-12-2004, 08:35 PM

I'll say:
-gave him a spiky nose
-thickened one eyelid to make his face lopsided
-gave him slightly clouded contact lenses
-painted his face white with a bluish tinge
-air-brushed veins onto his face
-shaved his eyebrows
-gave him "weeping pustules"
-gave him dandruff and a greasy, patchy wig of straggly hair (not on his face but what the heck)

symestreem · 07-13-2004, 06:17 AM

I'd say that qualifies.

Anorial · 07-13-2004, 08:02 AM

According to Ngila Dickson, Costume Designer, how many meters of cloth did each Black Rider costume take to make?

Samwise · 07-13-2004, 05:03 PM

50?

wilwarin538 · 07-13-2004, 05:20 PM

30?

Anorial · 07-13-2004, 06:07 PM

Good shot Samwise!! You've got it....over 50 meters of cloth was used for each Black Rider costume!

Samwise · 07-13-2004, 08:21 PM

....I got it right? Go figure....

I'll be back with a "fact" as soon as I can find one!

Samwise · 07-13-2004, 08:34 PM

Why was Liv Tyler outfitted in reds and blues in the movies?

Anorial · 07-15-2004, 08:52 PM

Because all the other elves were in pastel shades and they wanted her to stand out?

Samwise · 07-15-2004, 10:10 PM

No, but you're on the right track.

Anorial · 07-15-2004, 10:12 PM

They wanted her to look like royalty?

Samwise · 07-15-2004, 10:14 PM

No...
