This penultimate "Limited Editions Extras" post presents a couple of unrelated screencap series, simply because neither has that many frames. First there are some shots of Elijah Wood performing Frodo struggling with Gollum in the Emyn Muil. Second, there are shots of Elijah watching as Sam's coverage is being filmed for their Sammath Naur scene ( Read more... )

it's an engaged, supportive actor who furthers the concentration and work of his fellows by investing himself wholly while they are performing -- even if he does not appear himself.

I love your commentary, and thank you again for sharing these wonderful screen caps with us.

You are welcome, Shirebound. He certainly is an actor easy to "study".

I'm not going to bother to check, but I think in the "thrown around" scene, Andy is there, but not near him when they are filming those close-ups ( ... )

That is a fascinating glimpse into Elijah's acting, isn't it? I'd never have caught that but for your caps - thank you. And I love seeing this other glimpse of Frodo as we see Elijah interpreting him. Oh, my!

I barely caught it, too, Nota. I had mentally catalogued it as, "interested facial reaction but too blurry and little" and moved on. Only Honey's (Ms. Banazira's) comment made me go back and look again, stop-pausing through it.

"Why, she's right", I said.

Yes, jan-u-wine came over and took a look at these. In an email she called them, admiringly, "spooky". She remarked how, as he begins to react on the ladder shots, right hand taking the Ring, he appears to be drawn up as if pulled by invisible wires.

So cool. Thanks for making these. I find this all very fascinating as well. I love how Elijah was into the scene even though he wasn't being filmed at the time.

Your'e welcome, Prim. I had heard that, but now I have seen it.
