After years of working with New Line Cinema and director Peter Jackson on the home entertainment releases of the epic J.R.R. Tolkien theatrical adaptations, I was hired to design the end title sequence for the third film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Working alongside Alan Lee - the Academy Award-winning concept designer of the films - I developed techniques for highlighting Lee's sublime cast portraits as well as providing a visual 'return journey' from Mordor.
The 11-minute sequence - set to an original Annie Lennox composition - spanned 37 individually credited names and 57 end crawl layouts.
