5. Giant Attacks LOTR Set
The landscapes of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy may have looked superbly convincing to the point that we just assumed it was all shot in New Zealand, but these sweeping locales weren't made without the help of some deceptive miniatures from time to time. In fact, so authentic-looking is this set that our mind wants to believe that the set-dresser pictured on the left has been photoshopped into the image; our brain struggles to comprehend the geometry of the image otherwise. Rest assured, however, this is the real deal, and despite evidently being considerably scaled-down, WETA did coin the term "bigatures" for the film, given the large size and scale of the models compared to the majority of movie miniatures.
