The Design

About Rostrus Filmski Set

Danas se vizuelni efekti za filmove prvenstveno stvaraju kompjuterskim tehnologijama. Uprkos tome, Rostrus je napravljen kao filmski set iz stvarnog života sa mogućnošću snimanja od 360 stepeni. Tim je slijedio tradicionalni pristup kako bi izbjegao nesklad između aktera i digitalnog okruženja. Model je u razmeri 1:1000 i sa finim detaljima, što omogućava snimanje sa udaljenosti do 2 centimetra do površine.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Despite the fact that today almost all visual effects for films are mostly created using computer technologies, Rostrus was made in traditional technique. This approach allows to achieve the feeling of realism and immersion, and that is what audience wants. The high level of detail makes the model look plausible, when a viewer sees it on screen, he subconsciously recognizes a real-life model and becomes more involved and captured. Compared to computer 3D models, this real-life set is more plausible and cross-functional. It can be used not only for shootings, but for exhibitions as well.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 600mm x Depth 400mm x Height 760mm

Production Technology: The model is made of medium density fiberboard, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polyvinyl chloride. The set is molded and casted with poured plastic (SmoothCast).
Design Challenge: The hardest thing of designing a landmark of a fantasy world is to make it both plausible and impressing.You have to take into consideration the entrenched style and fit in the cultural context.
Research: During the pre-production research the team collected hundreds of behind-the-scenes photos from The Lord of the Rings and original John Howe sketches. We tried to analyse the architectural style of Middle-Earth and push it a little further.
Inspiration: For this project the team derived inspiration from J.R.R.Tolkien books and The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. The goal was to create a new architectural set relying on artistic style of John Howe and living up to the highest standards of Weta Workshop.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2020 in Novosibirsk and finished in September 2020, and was made specially for A'Design Award Competition.
Operation Flow: The set is good to use with professional high-resolution film cameras.
