The Rings of Power is a VFX-heavy show - but it didn't use one popular piece of tech during production
's team hired to produce the high fantasy show's 9,500 VFX shots. Given the close working relationship between ILM and Amazon Studios' Lord of the Rings TV series, it isn't a stretch to suggest that ILM's LED wall-based Volume technology could have been used.show's executive team decided against using the Volume and to primarily shoot on location instead.
"We used virtual production across the board," Ames explained."But we didn't use LED walls because we chose to shoot on location. Using the Volume would have been complex for us. If you look at our imagery, it's wide and expansive. To try and contain that on an LED wall would have been impossible."Ames' reasoning is sound. StageCraft is a mightily impressive tool and one that's certainly made filming certain movies and TV shows a lot easier than before.
