Through the Lens:
The Rings of Power

Director Charlotte Brändström and Director of Photography Alex Disenhof, ASC talk us through the opening scene of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Season 2

Season 2 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power takes a stark turn, becoming bleak, violent, and exceedingly grim for its heroes. To establish that descent into darkness, Director Charlotte Brändström and DP Alex Disenhof even created a custom lens filter that stripped nearly all color from the frame. Above, Charlotte and Alex walk us through the opening sequence and how they set the stage for a season shaped by power struggles and betrayal.
