Douglas Trumbull was one of the few remaining masters of physical model FX production left, and he has now passed to white shores and a far, green country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We caught up with Trumbull in what were to be his waning days, to talk about the making of the epic LOTR Rings of Power title video, which you can read about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/2022\/01\/19\/111840-prime-videos-the-lord-of-the-rings-title-reveal-exclusive-behind-the-scenes-images\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Ian Holm and Christopher Lee before him, LOTR is Trumbull&#8217;s final work in an extraordinary career; and he leaves a lasting gift to Tolkien fans &#8211; the title of THE RINGS OF POWER.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center;
