THE LORD OF THE RINGS Motion Picture Trilogy - The Exhibition is running at the Science Museum. Hundreds of props from the movies including models, armory and costumes will be on display alongside interactive computer demonstrations of the cutting-edge technology used to bring the story to life. Visitors will also have a chance to see the first two films of the trilogy at the Science Museum's cinema.
The exhibition includes: * Demonstrations of special effects, including the combining of 'real' and 'digital' action and CGI (computer-generated-image technology). * A scaling interactive explaining one way that the films managed to make characters seem different heights, which allows visitors to become Hobbit sized in a scene from THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. * A display on the prosthetics, which transformed actors, including Hobbit hands and feet. * Weapons belonging to Arwen, Gandalf, Frodo, and Aragorn. * Outfits including Arwen's riding costume, Galadriel's stunning dress and Gandalf's robes.
