Hunt for Gollum - low budget film making (shot in Wales) with high budget quality - I for one would love to see this.

Wales maybe but it's also a £3,000 budget and looks really good
how they have managed on that budget and made Wales look good only proves the end result should be superb.

looks interesting
I shall keep it a secret, and then send DVDs to my siblings as soon as it's available I think.

i can't help think that if you take the big budget special effects out of lord of the rings your left with people walking through forests and looking sexually at each other

From the trailers it doesn't seem to have suffered
and I'm sure if they can produce production values as good as this they can produce some good Special Effects when they need them - even in After Effects you produce Explosions, fire, smoke, Magic effects for Gandalf etc. LotR wasn't that Special Effects intensive as Peter Jackson himself ruled out CGI for the issue of making the Hobbits smaller and the Elves bigger - they simply use the old method of placing one actor further in the distance. The only real CGI intensive bit was Gollum, Nazgul's Wyrvens, Cave Trolls and the Balrog - only Gollum will be in this movie.

and the huge
battle sequences which make the film watchable, and motion controlled camera work, and the huge amount of compositing...

A mate of mine did the Gollum body work for this
He said it was bloody cold, and would raather have been in New Zealand.
