- Watch an exclusive, in-depth BTS featurette about Amazon’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” analyzing the cinematography, VFX, lighting, and cloud-based workflow of a key sequence of season one: the eruption of Mount Doom. “The Rings of Power” was captured in large format with ARRI’s ALEXA Mini LF and ALEXA LF cameras combined with DNA LF and Signature Prime lenses supplied to the New Zealand-based production by ARRI Rental Munich. The aftermath of the eruption was filmed in a sound stage with hundreds of ARRI SkyPanel S60 and S360 LED fixtures behind muslin screens around and above the village set, allowing the crew to fine tune the red color and create soft backlight in every direction.
With multiple units shooting simultaneously and the pandemic restricting travel, the producers set up a sophisticated cloud-based workflow that depended on metadata supplied by the cameras and lenses. For this behind the scenes look at a pivotal moment of season one, cinematographer Alex Disenhof ASC, senior visual effects supervisor Jason Smith, producer Ron Ames, and visual effects producer Jesse Kobayashi all sat down with ARRI to discuss their work on episodes six and seven of the show.

![Ultimate Guide to Camera Movement - Every Camera Movement Technique Explained [The Shot List Ep6]](/img/1.gif)
TLotR looks pristine. one of the best looking TV series in recent past, and I have often wondered what camera system they used, and now I know: it was Arri, always Arri. I'm blown away
great production cast. tobad the series sucked :D
@@somerandomchannel382 that was just a big money laundering
This was an awesome watch, I need more videos like this in my life
Incredible cinematography, production design and vfx.
If only the directing, acting and script were even remotely as good. It could have been a great series.
@@Crispy_Bee directing and acting can still be improved in season 2.
@@sweetbitter2 Maybe. But it's gonna be a tough sell after the first season and even more difficult if they have to re-cast almost every role.
@@Crispy_Bee recast?? What? 😂
@@sweetbitter2 Well to be fair, there are a lot of really good actors and actresses, but some of the major roles would have to be recast - I mean you can't give them all acting lessons.
Some of his words hides how to manage perfectly lighting the deep of field, thank you so much for share this
Please give us more of these long runtime bts
The show looked amazing
Absolutely awesome! Congratulations to the whole team for making it. Love this show! ✨🔝👏🏼😍
Story may not be good but in terms of visuals this show is one of the best in recent years. True eye candy for anyone with some knowledge about light, composition and aestethics!
Exactly what i came here to comment. I wish the writing and acting was as good as the visuals.
@@landonweldy5468 it was decent but im hopeful for s2 and 3.
Ok, sheep. 🙄
@@landonweldy5468 Baaaahhh. 🐑
That's it! The series is a VISUAL WONDER. One of the most beautiful I've ever seen. But the story...
I am impressed with all the art and technique involved in this project. Incredible cinematography!
As the Mandalorian might say, "ARRI is the way".
Awesome behind the scenes - thanks! @ARRIChannel - why weren‘t gels used on the lamps and the LEDs set to the default CC? Wouldn‘t that have delivered a broader spectrum of light?
This show continues to blow my mind.
Awesome video
COMING FOR THE EMMYS
Wow this is huge!
Nobody cares or would have thought for a second "WAIT A SECOND THEY WEREN'T WEARING MASKS IN THAT SHOT"
That's what I thought too 😅
Yeah, agree 100% No one needs the virtue signaling on that. Of course you were all wearing masks at a time when all productions were wearing masks. If you're not wearing masks it's either before or after. BTS features for me are depressing when I see crew wearing masks, it just dates the time the show was made and reminds me of the hell that time was.
It says right on this vid that that footage was taken before the pandemic.
@@CinemaoftheMind That’s the point, James says that pointing this out was unnecessary, because nobody would’ve complained anyway.
Stop
vfx and art direction was superb... just unfortunate we got writers who didn't do their research
I don't think it was superb, they had too many issues for that. I also suspect they gave too much into the technical feats instead of asking what's supporting/enhancing the screenplay.
love it
The more I discover about the amazing technicals behind the show, the more I am reminded that story truly is King. Such a shame to waste the hard work of so many talented teams to create such a poorly written show.
Yeah, People don't care about 8 hrs. of beautiful cinematography if story is poorly written.
@@atharvalangote8258 Yeah, it was a cinematography playground not a great story told.
Hmm… I enjoyed the series, very much..
I am not even sure if technicals were that amazing, yes they were above average of TV, but given the budget nothing extraordinary. And a quite a few VFX shots still were lacking. Cinematography wasn't always perfect either, though this might be due to bad set design.
I think generally getting to much into cinematography, technical aspects can also be bad. You often hear "I always wanted to do that", "that has never been done before" or "it looks cool", which isn't inherently bad, but if this isn't followed/backed by "we wanted to give a good depiction of what Tolkien wrote" it gets self absorbed quickly and too much of the former and too less of the latter you notice it on screen.
@@lal12 yea agree. I saw a VFX react episode about the series and it did feel like state of the art stuff on the technicals,.but yea, there just isn't a creative drive that justifies them so they fall really flat
Wow great behind the scenes - the visuals were unique and amazing. Will there be a 2nd year?
2024
THank u all very much
Hey this is cool, but isn't it going to be another year before this show comes out? Why release the BTS so far in advance?
That is BTS from the first season
Company 3 always has the best colorists in the world. Skip Kimball killed it with the color correction
12:19 my guy has the voice talent to do narration and voice overs.
Cool effects and everything. I could watch Borat for little longer than this.
Passion is real!
Note masks are worn only during the pandemic, some footage is prior.
sublime
😍😍😍😍
Oh Lawd, Dem Rangz
12 years of it in Azkaban!
Gonna be a continuation ? More episodes in 3 Seasons. I hope so.
Hello @MrSilva960, season 2 is expected to premiere in 2024!
@@ARRIChannel wow
That's great 👍
All that jazz to make the worst series out of a classic literature.
👌👌👌
Great work!!
They used the cloud
Awesome insight!
Thank you so much for this!
Technical production costs: 2 million dollars.
scriptwriters cost: $500.
So the camera team had the ultimate control over all the colors, spend a bunch of time testing it, and then still put a filter on the front of their lens. And then, after all of that, you still had to change the color of the fires in post-production?
There's a reason why you were able to move around so fast in filming. Because you were just counting on fixing things in post-production.
You definitely didn’t understand what was being said…
@@Ender1 Please... tell me where I was wrong. I'm always up to learn something new.
if as much care and thought had been given into the story, the show would be a huge success. for me, its sad, that overwhelming amount of skill and time flows into cinematography, rather than the more important things..
yeah ok i see, but it always feels to be to clean, like it should be more muddy more real dirt feels like
You investigated how would a volcano eruption may look like, but the scriptwriters forgot that the explosive ash cloud burns and chokes.
if only they had a good script
My word this looks so cheese. So clinical. Very American.
"You know the giant piece of turd that everyone with a brain cell hates, yeah, our cameras were used to capture that absolutely foul turd in incredible detail."
hi
I Feel sorry for those who actually thought they were going to work on something great. I hope one day they can find something good
$1 billion was spent on this. Do you like the result ?
i love when people lament money being wasted on things like rockets, military, or grants or who knows what but nobody ever raises a concern when a terrible movie or show cost such an exorbitant amount of money. 1 billion dollars could have built 5 hospitals.
Vfx looked stunning it's a shame the story was so shit but I guess that's because u need the original author to give u the story for the script writers to adapt. Instead of some writers making up a bunch of bullshit and not following the lore that had already been set before them. It's a shame it had such gr8 potential
No its Amazon executives meddling too much thinking that because they have money they can do what creatives do but they can’t
That was kind of the problem with it. They were spending all the time thinking about how it should look... That state became obsessed with the visuals. When you read how the series was pitched, the focus was on the locations. Not the story. Similarly, if you're spending that much time thinking about what kind of orange works right for fire, it's because you don't have a lot else to focus on. You don't know how to serve the lead actors in telling the story
This show was/is loaded with an incredible array of talent, sfx, cinematography, set design, etc, lots of hard work, time and effort was put in as is clearly shown. It’s such a shame it was let down by the script writing team and the some of the acting performances. There is no doubt those behind the camera brought their A game.
i doubt the script writiing team is at fault. it did its job. the guys on top are at fault, the guys who want to push woke ideology. bezos first.
I have to disagree slightly on this. If all you're doing is staring at the visuals and talking about how great they are... they are actually serving as a distraction from the story. You shouldn't spend the entire time marveling at how amazing stuff looks. That should be an afterthought. The visuals should serve the story. It shouldn't be that the story serves the visuals.
Disagree
👏👏👏
Love seeing the behind the scenes. I didn’t mind the show personally, obviously no where near as good as the og films. I do wonder though where the money went for the most expensive tv show ever made? Doesn’t look like anything crazy here, compared to other high budget films.
Despite we have advanced technologies, writers and directors give us shit content.
It's sad to see all the effort placed in the cinematography and compare it with a very lousy script
süper
Total load of codswallop 😎 🎥
It really IS A PITY that so much good, even great work on technical level was "buried" under bad storytelling...
Great visuals. Shame about the story.
I think this is wonderful and yes i that goes with the story of it as well. I think the story and writing was good not perfect but it was good. Overall very good in all areas
And then they ruined the Scene with the title Transition to Mordor!
BTS looks better than the actual series
No, the series looks amazing.
@@ramgargo9170 it looks CGI.
@@zoebaggins90 excellent CGI and great practical effects.
Having to note "pandemic mask mandates" comes off weak... but not as weak as the story.
Best looking and worst written series in Amazon Prime's short history.
The writing is solid.
@@ramgargo9170 one of the lamest acted and writing ive seen.
@@Gambitheart no sorry acting was great
@@customsteelbook5281 no it was bad cause the writing was bad
Amen
why did u destroy LORE so much ...
ew
I wouldn’t exactly want to advertise my association with this steaming pile if I were you, but hey ho.
Are you stupid? He's advertising his work on the cinematography which is great
By now, cinema tries to mimic the environments that CGI 3D realtime offers to gamers
Lol, speaking with such passion about a totally flopped TV series :D Maybe not these guys fault though
I only want to see galdriel die
Well the look of the scenes is the only thing that was good. Everything else was absolute shit and deserves to be forgotten. No i correct, not forgotten to hopefully let them learn from this mistake of a show.
"Where is my son...?"...acted as if he is picking up his son at Apocalyptic Kiddie Care....
some great cameras used on such a crappy show.
Show is written very poorly, but cinematography is nice :)
The writting is solid thought.
Really, you made up your own mind or you read it somewhere in the internet?
@@Akasacarafilm I've watched it and I'm a big fan of Tolkien's work whole my life so that's my opinion.
@@VilkanVisions if your argument is " I'm a big fan of Tolkien's work whole my life" its good enough for me brother. ✌✌
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 Who said it's my argument for something? Someone wrote that I probably took my opinion from the internet and didn't watch it so yeah I just said I did watch it and I'm very familiar with Tolkien's work but I didn't list any arguments, that was not my point.
The Rings of Power was the worst looking show I’ve seen in my life. I can’t believe you’re advertising this…. It looks like daytime tv filming, lighting and budget. So did you guys do something good like GoT or Dune? Advertise that.
Environmental disaster huh 🙄
Still wearing masks... even outside!?
That's all u got from this knowledge filled video? U must think they shoot tv shows and release the same day. Use common sense for thinking other than video games.
This show was shot many months before release esp during the pandemic. Shot in New Zealand that didn't want foreigners contaminating their covid numbers. Big shows don't just shoot and release the same day. This isn't a RUclips video game channel where it takes zero talent or know how or COMMON SENSE to record and release same day..
This was in 2021 still.

Wasted talent
I wouldn't be using this hot trash to advertise any of my products, lol!
I feel like they spent so much time trying to artificially tweak the colours that they would have just gotten it in camera if they shot of 35mm. they wouldn't have needed to go so over the top and their would have been no perceptive issue with the "green" they were talking about. too much digital. too much technology. not enough/any good story telling to make up up for an artificial look.
This just isn’t true. It has to do with human perception, it has nothing to do with digital or film. When you light a scene with very red light (which I did) the human eye adjusts itself, making the yellow firelight look more green in tone. The colors weren’t artificially tweaked at all. If you listen to what we are talking about, the whole point is that we shot it with colored light and captured it in camera!
I feel sorry when i see so many enthusiastic people working around the clock, just to create one of the worst series produced last year.
I thought visually it was great but I couldn’t connect to any of the characters. Nothing moved me throughout season one.
am I the only one seeing sense here... All this hard work for terrible story completely devoid of logic! Taking a pyroclastic cloud to the face and survive? Impossible even for an elf... How could the people around the table green light this... ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
All this for a garbage show like no other
Did you watch it?
Nice fake documentary, just admit that the whole series was made with CGI and actors face were just pasted in, because that´s how this crap looks, totally fake
This is very basic cinematography.
What a shame - this show ended up being the worst show ever made
Awful show and lamentable vandalism of Tolkiens work
Nooooooo! I hate this show!
You must now be very strong my friend! Stay focused, don't start to like it, its a slippery slope.
Honestly - it was an amazing feast for the eye - the 1st year writing was.....lets stay mixed.
