Well by now I have. And I stand entirely by my aforementioned opinion and all the people that agree with me. Tolkein barely describes these characters at all, I am not gonna restate any opinions, they're all there a few pages back.
Comment by Ash on July 9, 2011 at 12:15pm @jojotogi - I've seen the short and it looks nothing like film. It looks very much like video. it's extremely clean with no layer of grain. and it's red; which has a very specific look to it. Red doesn't look like other digital cameras it looks like red. The red is designed to soften pour lines and reduce their intensity; which to me eliminates the imperfections and realism that film captures. This also on occasion makes actors faces appear waxy.
The other big issue with digital is its image crumbles under the weight of wide shots. Look at something like the social network. The interiors and close-ups look beautiful, but once they go to a wide exterior or load the frame with dozens of extras the image crumbles into a very video look. this is a draw back apparent in all films shot digitally. The cameras can't handle the overload of information. Meanwhile film just captures what is there regardless of what's going on and the image never breaks down.
Comment by Jojotogi on July 9, 2011 at 4:25am @ Fungusmonkey - true, but there are only a limited number of times that the technique of superimposing a actor's head on a short person's body was used in the trilogy. The illusion was mostly pulled off through practical effects unless the face of two characters of radically differing heights were seen in the same shot.
Also, If people are still complaining about the touch ups to the faces in these photos, look at it this way. These are photos the studios are putting out to promote the films. Of course there's going to be some tinkering with photoshop. They want this to look as presentable as possible. There's probably not going to be any of that in the final film.
