Today on the befores & afters podcast, we’re diving into season 2 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, with DNEG and visual effects supervisor, Greg Butler. This season, DNEG delivered over 900 shots and led the work in some of the biggest battle sequences that happen around Eregion. This also involves Damrod the Hill Troll. With Greg, we look at what was filmed for these battles, the CG environments, digi-double soldiers and Orcs, CG horses, and the specific approach to the atmosphere in the scenes.
