It blows your mind, the amount of effort went into the DESIGN of The Lord of the Rings, down to the smallest detail.
The Special edition DVD set features two discs full of makings-of and behind the scenes. Naturally, such bits feature lots of interviews with cast and makers. After an hour of watching I noticed that most actors are interviewed on a set, and the set is CUSTOMIZED!
When Viggo Mortensen is shown, there is a White Tree emblem on the wall behind him. When it’s Christopher Lee – it’s a White Hand.

Psychotic attention to detail. God bless’em.
