Where did most of the design influences from the movie come from? What does the floor plan of Bag End look like? How were digital techniques used to increase the scale of Middle-Earth on screen? Who made the Orcs look so fearsome?

Just because I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to all things 'fellowship', I loved this book.

Awesome!!! I really really enjoyed this book. A very good look into all the hard work that went into creating this spectacular movie. I was really taken by all the drawings that were done before production even started...all the time and effort that went into getting the look that we finally saw on the big screen.

I'm always so inspired by the art contained in this series of books. The writing is lacking mainly due to the fact there is none. But the pictures tell a thousands stories. Absolutely awe inspiring and a tribute to the efforts in those gorgeous films, even with the work that didn't make it to the film.

This book has lots of interesting things to look at. It's got a boatload conceptual drawings and paintings, and lots of information from the artists and wardrobe people.
