The Director Has To Win,

So Many Film Makers Are Scared Of Visual Effects - Which Is No Crime.

You Shouldn't Think Of These Movies As Being 'the Lord Of The Rings.' The Lord Of The Rings Is, And Always Will Be, A Wonderful Book - One Of The Greatest Ever Written. Any Films Will Only Ever Be An Interpretation Of The Book. In This Case My Interpretation.

I Adore Physical Miniatures And Try To Use Them As Much As I Can And Have A Bit Of A Fetish About That.

I Think That's The Job Of A Director Really, To Sort Of Funnel All The Creativity Into One Centralized Point Of Being.

I Was Bullied And Regarded As Little Bit Of An Oddball Myself.
