Quite nice, the key was good, nice flying eagle thing

haha! I find it funny that smeagol's name is 'smeagol' so at first I though it was a joke, from Gollum.

the eagle could use more work, but otherwise very nice.

Wait, didn't you remake a scene from LotR?  And then start up a new series of montage clips?

That was really good, I like it.  The animation (particularly in the first few seconds with Saruman throwing Gandalf around) worked really well.  If I had to make a suggestion I'd say that the eagle behind Saruman is a little too bright.

And yeah, it was funny that my username is Sméagol given the clip.

This is fantastic! The only thing I didn't like was when he turned purple in the last shot, but the animation, sets and chroma keying are top notch. Well done.

Very well done on the chroma keying. That was extremely accurate to the movie, man. Nice job.

I tried dimmming it down a bit, but the result kind of looked fake and tacked-on, so I left it like it was.
In retrospect, I probably should have investigated it a little more and tried different methods of darkening.

I'm glad that you enjoy my work! I made this film because I thought that this scene in the movie would be a great scene to re-create in Lego.
I didn't start working hard on this until I made a Lego model of Orthanc and thought that it looked pretty good.
I will post some pictures of the set soon.

Thanks for all the comments folks!

Wow, that was great! My only complaint are the faces of the wizards. They seem really out of place. Before making this, I would have gotten some beards. Oh, and did you build the Orthanc yourself? Or did you find instructions somewhere?

I built that myself. The one in the film is actually the second version of it I built, the second version is more stable and a lot bigger.
