How Rodeo FX team made the stunning visuals of 'The Rings of Power'

11 years after Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King, the audience is invited back into the worlds of Tolkien in what was one of the most anticipated series of the year. Amazon Prime’s The Rings of Power, explores the Second Age of Middle Earth and Rodeo was one of the selected VFX houses tasked with creating this breathtaking journey in season 1.

Working on a show as high profile as The Rings of Power, came with a culture of secrecy that required our team to slowly discover parts of the plot as they worked on new sequences. From code names to secret locations, each scene delivered clues about this brand new storyline. One thing remained constant, however: a commitment to the highest quality.

“This is a truly unique, bucker-list level project, with a quality of visuals I’ve rarely seen on a show before. The creativity was limitless, the collaboration was outstanding, and we knew we were building and being part of something incredible” - Ara Khanikian, VFX Supervisor
