Thanks for posting this article. I just got the extended version of The Fellowship of the Ring and watched it a couple of nights ago. Amazing amazing amazing.

Fascinating article! I have a feeling the special effects generated by Massive in The Two Towers will be as influential on movie making as the morphing technology used in Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and the digital stop motion technology introduced by The Matrix.

"(This is a digital analog to a technique developed by Jackie Chan, who choreographs onscreen fights by assigning different grunts to his attackers, based on the angle and type of approach; he can "see" them coming, even if his back is turned, based on auditory cues.)"

LOL! Why am I not surprised by this? I love Jackie Chan, a true master.
