The Fellowship of the Ring: Storyboards and Pre-Viz: Making Words into Images

This documentary covers the early storyboard, pre-visualization, and screening processes in the production. Christian Rivers, a Wētā Workshop art director in the production team, drew most of the storyboards of the plot of the movie. After scene design was finalized, Peter Jackson used toy-sized miniatures of setting and characters, to review and decide on camera movements for each scene. The computer graphics program PreViz was then used to visualize the scenes with basic 3D models.
