Peter was going about his day, and we were getting the grand tour too. It’s just a gorgeous shot, and it drove home in one instant what I was getting myself into. It’s still probably my favorite shot of the trilogy. The first time I met Peter and Barry Osborne, we were visiting his theatre where he was reviewing dailies, and the first thing I see on screen is the ring in the snow from Fellowship. We sincerely liked his stage the best, and thought it was where we could deliver the best work. To some, it might have appeared we were just kissing up to Peter, but that was just a fringe benefit. It was clear to all three of us that Peter’s was where we wanted to do it. We toured several, and then continued on to NZ to check out Peter’s facility.


New Line was apprehensive about doing the sound job in NZ, so they wanted us to look at some alternate mix stages in Sydney. We also took a little detour through Sydney. When someone flies you halfway around the world, you feel like there’s a lot on the line. Both of those guys had met Peter in person before, and Phil had done an entire show with him, so I was a bit nervous. I tried to ask for the stuff you can’t find detailed in other interviews or the BTS of the DVDs, so… Hope you enjoy it!ĭesigning Sound: When did you start on the films and how what were initial conversations with Peter Jackson and company like?ĭavid Farmer: My first trip over was with Chris Boyes (who recommended me for the project – thanks Chris!), and Phil Benson (Supervisor on PJ’s “The Frighteners”). 3 Comment by O.N.Here is the final article of the great David Farmer Special, an interview we had with him, talking about his work on LOTR.

Comment by Space Laser Muster the Rohirrim! Comment by captain rex I love how the movies are nothing like the books, e.g andeuriel being forged in the first book, and it being made in the 3rd movie Comment by Searoid This is Howard Shore's masterpiece, in a great sounding midi format. I used it as a way to test out a new sample library of orchestra sounds, and was pleased with the results. A few years back, I played and performed one of my favorite themes from Lord of the Rings The Two Towers Soundtrack: The Rohan Theme.
