Gollum's Design in FoTR
|
Can't Post
|
|
Has the Gollum design used in FoTR ever been released? I know they changed his design between FoTR and TTT, but I've never seen what his full FoTR looked like.

I saw the VFX reel of a guy who worked on the FOTR Gollum, but I can't remember where I found it

...or are you watching the movie?
The moments with Gollum in FOTR are quick and I don't think many of the screencaps I could find highlight the differences.
I've always noticed the differences while watching the movie.
Re: the prologue Gollum - the shape of the head looks different to me. But I don't have an easy screencap using the same angles of the more developed CGI versions to compare to.
Re: Moria Gollum - the nose is quite snub and the brow seems flatter.

Even non-CG characters can look different from shot to shot

I don't think the differences are so strong, and certainly not while actually watching the movie at normal speed. I believe I recall Peter Jackson saying something on the commentaries about wanting to go back and swap out the original Gollum for the design they eventually used, but they're similar enough, and the scenes are quick and dark enough that I don't think it's necessary.

The difference isn't particularly striking to me.

Just his mouth looks more goblinesque.

but I have always noticed it.
Maybe that says something about how many times I have watched the films. I need to get out more.

I don't think the design changed as much as it got more detailed...

My understanding was always that Jackson only showed Gollum in a shadowy sort of way in FOTR because they were still working on how to make him look more lifelike, so he'd hold up better when shown with the other actors...the basic look for him did not change, it just got more realistic, the way I remember it.
Of course I have trouble remembering where I put my car keys, so I could be totally off base on this! Off hand the best place to check would probably be in one of hte commentaries on the creation of Gollum, I'd guess...

but from looking at the models for FOTR it doesnt really look like they are at all, more Gollum's jaw which is different.

I think he was originally more like Alan Lee's Gollum

That look can be seen here - http://fantasy.mrugala.net/Alan%20Lee/Alan%20Lee%20-%20L'apprivoisement%20de%20Gollum.jpg
What changed was them making him look more like Andy Serkis and more of a character rather than just a 'creature'.
I am hoping Peter replaces it with a shadowy version of his AUJ look in a future edition of FOTR.

They talk about it in the Two Towers extended edition appendices. They took the original design and changed it to look more like Andy Serkis.
