Day 12 Shire Reckoning: Mersday, Foreyule 16 -- Rohan Refugee Lake, Warg Attack, Amon Hen. Very tiring day today...even though it seems like we didn't do much. Up early to head out to Kelvin Heights Deer Park for a quick tour of the Rohan refugees' path around the lake, where Gimli fell off of his horse, the start of the Warg attack and when Legolas was shooting at the Wargs and where he mounted the horse with some CG help.
Everything was quite recognizable except for where Gimli fell off his horse. I didn't recognize it at all. I knew that Gimli fell off left of the lake but that's about it. I thought maybe the filmmaker's might have reversed the image....but the TORN camera crew disagreed saying that the movement would be wrong. They were able to locate the shot on the other side of the lake. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember the shot and took the picture from the wrong angle. :(
Next went to Arrowton to see part of the Ford of Bruinen. Saw what I could but didn't want to ford the stream. Also, there was a huge world championship triatholon going on at the same time and we got to see a bit of the cycling portion. Afterwards we went to the 12 Mile Delta where Frodo, Sam, and Gollum witness the Rangers attack on the Haradrim. In the film it looks like they are in some kind of an arid region, in reality it is right next to a Lake! Go figure. Very recognizable and shot some nice pix of it.
Last stop was a brisk hike up to where the Uruks attack Aragorn on Amon Hen. A bunch of us re-enacted the Uruks for the cameras, it was pretty fun. But we're bushed.
Tomorrow head early into Queenstown and go rafting on the Anduin. Battery on the PPC is running down... Mike out. |
