The lord of the rings.

Hi guys, this week I would be talking about this film trilogy called The Lord of the rings that began in 2001 by Peter Jackson.
As we know, its first film was called the fellowship of the ring, the second one called the two towers in 2002, and the last one released in 2003, The return of the king.

The films were critically acclaimed and heavily awarded, winning 17 out of 30 Academy Awards nominated in total. The last movie released in 2003, The Return of the King, won all 11 of the Academy Awards for which it was nominated, Academy Awards received for a film. The trilogy received wide praise for the cast and for the innovative practical and digital special effects.

The total increases to 3,420 with the extended editions. 260 visual effect artists began work on the trilogy, and the number doubled by The Two Towers. The crew, led by Jim Rygiel and Randy Cook, worked long hours, often overnight, to produce special effects within a short space of time.
This movie took over many sound technics in which they spent almost one year to find the right sounds, such as animal sounds human voices were also used.
