02x09 - Digital Grading | Lord of the Rings Behind the Scenes (HD)

Digital Grading is a short documentary, directed by Michael Pellerin, that covers how the scenes of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings films were, after principal photography, altered to achieve the desired color and lighting effects for portraying Middle-earth. We get comments from Jackson, Andrew Lesnie, Barrie Osborne, supervising digital colorist Peter Doyle, and Jim Rygiel. They cover the ways that the computer allowed them to work on color issues, and we see many demonstrations of these instances.
