The Lord of the Rings trilogy won seventeen Academy Awards. Weta Workshop was intrinsically involved in the design and physical effects manufacture for all three films.
Senior Concept Artist at Weta Workshop, Daniel Falconer joined the award-winning facility in 1996. The Workshop’s resident Tolkien expert, Daniel was instrumental in designing many of the iconic costumes, weapons, props, and characters seen in The Lord of the Rings. His film credits also include The Hobbit motion picture trilogy, King Kong, and The Chronicles of Narnia.
In addition to his work for the screen, Daniel serves as art director on Weta Workshop’s collectibles and has written several books for the Workshop, including The Hobbit Chronicles and Middle-earth: From Script to Screen.
Mythical beings to mortals of the Third Age, Ents were mysterious giants said to have tended the forests of Middle-earth. They were shepherds of the trees, but in the long years since they first walked in the world their numbers had dwindled till only a few remained residing within the borders of the forest of Fangorn.
Nine different Ents were designed and built as digital creatures for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Here, those nine characters are displayed in the style of old botanical drawings.
