Tar-Palantir has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

Hello Krumbad,<P>That link says absolutely nothing about how the shot was filmed. And no, of course a stuntman doesn't jump in front of a moving horse. Just like old Legolas isn't riding a 'real' Cave Troll. He was standing on box. Whoever performed the horse stunt, if it wasn't Orlando, could have just as easily dismounted from a barrell or stationary prop some kind. It's quite common - though usually the prop is blue screened, but in this case the image was superimposed (for lack of a technical term).<P>I guess I'll have to hunt down a definitive source somewhere, unless someone wants to back me up???
