Battle of Helm's Deep Recording at Wellington
LOTR Director Peter Jackson had an unusual idea to gather as many people to chant in Black Speech, during the New Zealand vs England 2nd ODI on this day in 2002!
The Lord of the Ring's Trilogy was a masterpiece of Peter Jackson but did you know that the 'Uruk Hai' chanting at the Battle of Helm's Deep in "The Two Towers" was recorded during the innings break of the New Zealand vs England ODI at Wellington which was exactly 23 years ago?
"Where can we find so many people?"
Peter and the filming crew had a very tedious task of getting a sound bite from a large audience and this was specifically for the scene where the 'Uruk Hai' were marching towards Helm's Deep. Getting a group of 50 or 100 was not enough, because to make the sounds feel realistic, they needed much more, say 20,000. So where can you find so many in one place?
