1420! Woo-hoo!!

Weta had a mascot. To get the answer correct, you must provide ALL THREE of these:
- name
- gender
- type of animal

The mascot was a female Huntaway-Alsatian dog named Gemma.

I did man! Except for calling them directly to ask or sitting watching special features for a couple days hoping for a glimpse, I don't know how to get more specific than from the directory

Okay, I can't decide if you are evil or a brat

How about No. 1, Weka Street, Miramar?

(Thanks for the hint and how do you know they didn't move? double )

Why shouldn't they move? I understand they've been very successful these days.

Okay, here goes:

According to Matt Aitken, Weta Digital Model Supervisor, how high in meters was Dwarrowdelf from floor to ceiling?

Okay, here's a hint...you can find it in the same DVD package which features the Dwarrowdelf in the movie. Finding out what the Dwarrowdelf is, especially in the context of the movie-making process, would be a big help. And no, not the miniature because there wasn't one.

Dwarrowdelf is the dwarwen city in Moria. And I guess it's about 20 meters or so.

Thank you, Thorongil. I haven't got a DVD, so I'm afraid the above clue helped me none whatsoever.

This is probably just me, but I find it interesting that a Dwarven city would have the word "elf" in it.

As to my guess, (though Thorongil's probably right) 23 meters?

Well, here's the ultimate hint...from the book cause it's easier.

"'I will now risk a little real light.' He raised his staff, and for a brief instant there was a blaze like a flash of lightning. Great shadows sprang up and fled, and for a second they saw a vast roof far above their heads upheld by many mighty pillars hewn of stone. Before them and on either side stretched a huge empty hall; its black walls, polished and smooth as glass, flashed and glittered."

What the moviemakers called the Dwarrowdelf was that massively huge hall in Moria with all those pillars (and, in my opinon, one of the most emotional musical pieces on the soundtrack). Matt Aitken, Weta Digital Model Supervisor, was saying that they couldn't make a miniature of it because it was just so massive. It was, he said, 45 meters from floor to ceiling, which is staggering considering that's around 135 feet. Very cool!

None of you got it exactly but Samwise was very close at 50 meters so your turn Samwise son of Hamfast.

Well, I read the rules and couldn't find how to handle it and emailed Saucepanman and he didn't answer so I made a decision. I'm sure Samwise will have an excellent question! (no pressure now! )

Sorry for not replying Anoriel, but I was away for the weekend. To belatedly answer the point, it's within the question-setter's discretion to accept an answer that he/she thinks is sufficiently close.

Just got the note from Orcist. My computer's down, so I'm on my mother's, plus we've had company galore all week. I will see what I can do about a question ASAP, though I certainly cannot promise anything all that challenging.

Question Okay....

This will either be really easy, or wrong. If it's wrong, I apologize, I have a killer headache and a busy household at the moment.

In FOTR, who played the adorable little big-eyed Hobbit child who was listening to Bilbo's troll story at the party?

I know, there were a lot of children there, but there was a little girl right in the front with huge eyes. Don't need her name, just "who" she was (ie: she was related to a member of the "crew".)

Probably super easy, but-- I've got a killer headache, what can I say.

Darn cute she was, though. Oddly, seeing her in that scene made me think of Sam sitting at Bilbo's feet listening to the same story...



Your go, Orcist.

Pipe To expand y'all's knowledge!

Darn, that was an easy one! I was on holidays so I missed it

Point of fact, both of his children were hobbit children. You also see them as Rohan children in the caves at Helm's Deep and Gondorian children when Faramir is riding through the streets on Gondor on the suicide mission to Osgiliath.

C'mon Orcrist, make it a goodie! (and see if you can find a source to use other than the Making of the Movie Trilogy book )
