99 seconds to recap the Lord of the Rings

July 26, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Imagine the situation. You have to recap the Lord of the Rings. All of it – but, thankfully not the Hobbit – and you only have 99 seconds do it! On top of that challenge your audience isn’t really interested. They have a low attention span. You’re going to need to jazz it up, while […]

The Hobbit video diary – the last of the filming & Comic-Con

July 23, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I don’t know if you’ve been following Peter Jackson’s video diaries from The Hobbit but this one is worth watching. This won’t be the last video diary but it is the last one from filming.

July 19, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Daniel Z (check out his Flickr account) has created this staggeringly complex diorama of Helm’s Deep – out of Lego. Check out the landscape, the unheaven (extra effort) surface of the rock, and the architecture. The Lego Helm’s Deep was created for a store in the highstreet of Oslo called Outland and after a quick […]

Guardians of Middle-earth trailer

June 29, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Imagine Middle Earth as a the setting for running battles. That’s not entirely out of character with Tolkien’s setting because there have been very many battles between the forces of good and evil. That said it’s a little strange to see Sauron running around on the battlefield (even, yes, if he did capture Dol Guldur […]

Run Boy Run – a music video that speaks to the gamer soul

May 22, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Every now and then I like to share a video that seems to conjure up a bit of gamer ambience. Woodkid’s Run Boy Run is such a video. I’m not show how to describe it – except dark. Colourwise, it’s a very dark video. I suppose it could be a hobbit leading the ents towards […]
