Very cool, Maril . I know next to nothing about swordfighting, though I can usually tell if a movie is doing it *really* badly; for example it always drove me crazy when two characters are allegedly duelling to the death but always stop at critical moment to make witty remarks, obviously counting on their foes to be sporting enough to wait until they were finished before trying to kill them. But the LOTR guys certainly looked like they knew what they were about, or at the very least, were choreographed down to the second.<P>Also I'm not sure if anyone knows the answer to this, but how on earth do you do CGI arrows convincingly? Just have the intended victim stagger after the number of seconds it would take the arrow to fly through the air? It seems like the kind of thing that would be really hard to do....and be incredibly obvious if done poorly (Hmm, Legolas seems to be shooting in slow motion today. His bow must need a jumpstart). Does anyone know?
