Production Designer of LOTR's

I picked LOTR's "The Fellowship of the Ring" because it is one of my favorite films ever. I love being taken away to the land of Middle Earth. None of the visuals, costumes, or sets would be what they are in this film without Grant Major. He was the production designer for this film. Before these films, Tolkien’s Middle-earth has existed only in the imaginations of readers and in the wondrously detailed yet limited illustrations for the novels. But in The Fellowship of The Ring, the hobbit holes of Hobbiton, the sylvan glades of the elf refuge Rivendell, the smoky innards of the Prancing Pony Inn and the networks of underground caverns in the Mines of Moria come physically to life.
Only because of so many people working behind the scenes on this film could all this be mastered. Working along side Grant Major was Richard Taylor and Director Peter Jackson. Detail was everything the trilogy of Lord of the Rings. There was a crew of 120 people working soley on the film's production and design. Without their hard work Tolkien's land would never have come alive in these breathtaking films...
