lord of the rings minas tirith filming location
Minas Tirith Portions of Minas Tirith were constructed as full-scale sets, and the whole city as a very large, highly detailed miniature or "bigature" by Weta Workshop. Weta Digital, a division of Weta Workshop, created a remarkably detailed three-dimensional digital model for CGI shots, along with the whole of its surrounding environment including the Pelennor Fields and Mindolluin (but not the Rammas Echor, which was visually omitted from the films despite being mentioned in the dialogue, where Théoden gave the order to the Rohirrim beginning "After you pass the Wall..." quoted directly from the book). The set was built on the foundations of the disassembled Helm's Deep set.
