I think that one of the reasons The Lord of the Rings still holds up, in my mind at least, is that it still used the whole “make a miniature version of the set piece” school of filming.

Like Isengard:

Minas Tirith:

Helm’s Deep:

Osgiliath:

Like… that’s shit is just cool.

“Miniature”

[nightbringer24]

They are technically miniatures because they aren’t the full 1:1 scale.

Although I’d be impressed if anyone could make a 1:1 scale replica of Orthanc at 500 feet high.

Practical effects add value to movies and tv shows that often goes unappreciated until years later.

[knightoflodis]

Very true. I think my roommate and I have determined that the best way to do things was to have practical effects mixed with CGI. You get it close with the practical and then finish it with CGI. Looks better than regular CGI that’s for sure.

They coined the term Bigature for these sets

[swprequels]

sexiest part of the prequels for me is how fire is always present in significant moments of anakin’s life. in the phantom menace it’s qui-gon’s funeral pyre when obi-wan tells him he will be a jedi. in attack of the clones it’s in the room when he confesses to padmé and again in the tusken hut with shmi. creeping closer until revenge of the sith when it consumes him.

[queen-padme-amidala]

In the prequels, there is also a lot of water symbolism associated with Padme especially with her blue outfits and the water in Naboo. @politicalpadme explains this really well here - https://politicalpadme.tumblr.com/post/173771592921/padm%C3%A9-and-water

Padmé and Water

PadMay Day 10. Blue I love the water. | I don't like sand. This much maligned exchange is actually dripping (pun intended) with symbolism. A

It’s cool how Anakin and Padme are paired together symbolically this way.
