Special effects work & concepts

I'd like to release a couple of images from the vfx/art side of the film. These by concept and visual effects artist Jean-David Solon.

Concept image: Strider passes through the ruins of ancient Arnor on his quest...

It's exciting for us to add new depth to the realism of the film through special effects. The quality of work created by the TH4G artists breathes life and spectacular realism into our vision of middle earth.

The next shoot dates will be in August and September...

Dream scenes and editing

The mysterious immortal Elves of Middle Earth make an appearence in The Hunt For Gollum. Last week we explored these mysterious immortals through a dream sequence which was shot in a wonderfully Elvish location: Hampstead Heath Pergola in London.



Currently the production will be completed for an end of the year release online. We've got a lot of editing now to be done (30+ hours of footage to cut into the 30 minute film). Also we're looking for visual effects and sound artists to join the Hunt For Gollum team. Get in touch by email... chris@hunt4gollum.com

And so, onwards we continue THE HUNT!!!

Orc shoot completed!

2 weeks ago we completed the most ambitious shoot of the film. It was an intense 4 day shoot where featuring a large band of Orcs and some choreographed fights. Epping Forest was our location and our crew of 48 people camped out for 4 days at Debden House Campsite. Was a great shoot enjoyed by all, and an impressive acheivement for a low budget film.

There will be some proper updates appearing about this on our website, but in the meantime here's a few stills from this shoot.



We're working on some short teaser clips, to put online soon.

Costumes... in progress

... 2 weeks before the shoot Marta, Natalie and Sophie lay out the orc costumes made so far. Now final adjustments, refinements and extra costumes will be thrown together to complete the Orc army.
