5D to present Doyle's 'Lord Of The Rings' work

Media solutions developer 5D are to host a special presentation during NAB 2002 by Peter Doyle, lead digital colourist on The Lord of The Rings trilogy.
Doyle will demonstrate the workflow and innovative techniques he and his team used to bring to life director Peter Jackson and Oscar-winning DP Andrew Lesnie's vision of Middle Earth, and the pivotal role played by 5D Colossus in the making of The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Rings.
The event will take place on Booth S3908 on Wednesday April 10 at 14:00hrs.

It’s a must-visit event for anyone involved in motion pictures and promises to be a genuinely rewarding and enlightening experience.”
