This is Nerd of the Rings, bringing you Messages from Middle Earth. Today they present: Today, we chat with Luke Hawker about his vast experience in Middle-earth and filmmaking over the past 25 years! Not only has he been in front of the camera under prosthetics and in motion capture, but he also works in creating effects and props! In our long chat, we talk about his time on The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Rings of Power, plus other films like Godzilla x Kong and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes! Luke also shares funny stories from the set, like goofing off with Jed Brophy and getting tossed around by Ismael Cruz Córdova.
