About
The Hunt For Gollum is an unofficial not for profit short film by a group of enthusiast filmmakers. As a Lord of the Rings Fan Film, we are not affiliated with the Tolkien Estate or New Line Cinema and are producing this project as an entirely non commercial film. As with other fan films we are making this purely for the enjoyment of the material and the experience of making a high quality low budget film.
Blatant rip-offs of elements from Peter Jackson's version of the trilogy. Those films even ripped-off concepts from an artist. I don't remember what the artist's name is right now. Though I must compliment the crew/cast on the choreography of the battle scene. I'm assuming they didn't spend [much] money on professional trainers to make the sword fighting appear realistic/entertaining, but they did an amazing job with it.
Love the music! I have an appreciation of film scores in general, but LOTR ranks the highest of any I've heard in their entirety. The music composers did an excellent job of keeping the general sound of the trilogy without simply playing parts of the soundtracks. Even if it sounds as though they did, trust me, they didn't. I've listened to those three soundtracks too many times to count. and though they came close in a few parts, they didn't actually replicate the OS's.
Overall, worth the 40 minutes it took to watch. Of course, I am a RingNut :D
