I really thought it was like 90% CGI like it is for The Hobbit.. But know I realized they built a good part of what we see on screen and the balls of fire and all...I guess that explains also why it won oscars and the hobbit won nothing.
Same here. Can't believe how much of what we see on screen was actors, extras and physical effects. Especially those close combat scenes look almost as good as in the film. Often they just added the background. And Minas Tirith is such a convincing set.
This is why Lotr is better than the hobbit. The armies had tonnes of extras in 2003, yet only 12 people + CGI were used to create the five armies in the Hobbit... 12!!!!
@@johntedonneraipasmonnom713 to be frank, when Jackson took over from Del Toro there's was little to no time to do any preproduction. Everything had to be done on the fly, and it shows.
Just watched all of the films all over again, almost forgot how awesome and well made they are! easily one of my favourites of all time, such a good series of films
Thranduil: Go North. Find the Dunedain. There's a young ranger amongst them. You should meet him. His father zara thorn was a good man. His son might grow to be a great one.

Wow, where did this footage come from? I have 2 boxed sets of the extended editions and have never seen any of these particular shots before. Would love to see more! Thank you, Peter Jackson's LotR trilogy is a masterpiece and still the best ever made.
You can clearly see how many Easterlings took part at the battle at the courtyard of Minas Tirith. It's a pity that didn't had any screen time on the movie.

Forget the movies, even these making-of videos make us believe that Middle Earth and the battles were real. I would never tire of anything to do with LOTR, Made in the perfect age when CGI was necessary to do fantastic things, but not over-reliant since they were not fine-tuned and abundantly used as they are now. Bless you film wizards!
Damn, that AWESOME! Really amazing to see this. Real fights, places, actions, siege towers, catapults and destruction(the main part), no CGI bullshit, like in the modern movies. And that's the reason why it's my favorite trilogy. Thanks to the Peter Jackson and thanks for this video;-) I always wanna know 'bout background actors, who fights in this movie. I dreaming to take part in the same battle :-D But it just dream...
minas tirith, isengard, rivendell and more were miniatures, built with so much detail that even with the close up shots it appears as realistic as the real things. helm deep was shot in a quarry i know that
Hm. Beside the VERY FEW wide shots you really thought that there were thousands of man or it was all CGI? Few hundred only. In 90% of the shots you don't need more than 50 man. Btw I know a movie that was shot with 6000 man and 6000 horses for a battle scene. That's real. In lotr movies you only see 2-3 hundred at best when they did the wide shots. Then they did the miracle with CG. Btw it had a lot of CG. I was shocked by that how many of you were amazed by that they used some extras. In fact lotr uses quite a few extras. There are tons of movies using way more extras. If that's what you compare. And is this the first behind the scenes video you see? O.o You haven't seen any studio sets before? What if I say JP2 was 90% shot in a studio without a single green screen. That's a real movie. The most impressive one is Interstaller. It has like 15 secs of CG in it. Everything else was real.

This actually looks like a movie from the 80's like this xD
CosMotion it does without the HD cameras and the score
3:58 Those crazy bastards actually charged the extras.
Damn this is one hell of a movie.
perhaps some people took an injury due to the horse charge
_the lord of the Rings: The Return of the King the Best Movie_
8:14 the reason why I would not want to be an extra in an epic movie. Just gimme a princess dress.
In this rare footage you can see more of the Easterlings than in the movie (10:47)
i'ld loved to see'em fight !
Those horse scenes must be a hell of a fucking fun to shoot.

From an exclusive VIDEO-CD of a spanish magazine from 2003. This is the complete video.
You can clearly see how many Easterlings took part at the battle at the courtyard of Minas Tirith. It's a pity that didn't had any screen time on the movie.
You can see them for like 5 seconds in the film.
They're there but you really have to look

Those horses would have to be so well trained
I was thinking that the movie filming in green box like the hobbit
But now im sure its a great one is this movie 💕💕
Ooooo Easterlings 10:49
I am amazed how much of minastirith they actually built there, its very impressive
I'd love to play even a small ork in these movies. Just to be a part of this :)
Look at that one good Gondorian soldier
omg.. i thought this was at least 60℅ CGI, they must've had a huge budget to hire so many men and build so many cities
Jon B They have like 5+ years preparation time before filming.
10:20 DUDE this looks exactly like 150 vs 150 at Battle of the Nations
Best Movie Ever Made Best Story Ever
20,000 extras wow!
Holy crap that charge through orcs looks crazy dangerous
Nice to see more easterlings
are those real hard rocks dropped on those actors? dang thats crazy
styrofoam for sure
Yeh not real rocks something soft and flammable.
Aragorn!
But only the music made film perfect !!
Very impressive
Was that real fire on the rock catapult?
Yep.
Almost no CGI a still got balls......every autor was played his role on 100%....absolutely awesome.
Geez that looks so fun
Ahhhhh, so that's how it was done................
Some of those camera cranes are enormous!
Probably the best trilogy film on earth.

Yes but not entirely.
