What's left behind the scenes
- The project features archival recordings of Christopher Lee delivering lines in the films of the "Hobbit" trilogy (Peter Jackson, 2012-2014).
- The following method was used to create the traditional two-dimensional animation: each scene in the film was acted out by actors (using motion capture technology), then everything was translated into three-dimensional animation; and then again – into two-dimensional animation.
