Acclaimed director Kenji Kamiyama, known for his work on Blade Runner: Black Lotus and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, shared his insights into the immense challenges of helming the animated feature 'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim'.
“When I was first asked if I’d like to take this on, my initial reaction was that it was impossible,” Kamiyama admitted, referencing the intricacies of adapting J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic world into hand-drawn animation. “The sheer number of soldiers on screen, the detailed designs, the horses—it all seemed daunting. But it was a chance to take on something I loved and admired deeply. I had to do it, even though I didn’t know how at first.”
