Internet user kaxtru imagined each episode of the Rings of Power series in the form of discs. A way to bring out the color palette for each of them.
It’s an original way to revisit the episodes of rings of power, and a nod to the title of the series. On the sub-Reddit devoted to the production of Amazon Prime Video, the Internet user kaxtru shared on October 16 eight visuals in the shape of a disc (or a ring). Each of them is dedicated to an episode.
The episodes of the Rings of Power “revisited”
These representations may seem obscure for those who have not grasped the intention of kaxtru. All circles represent all episodes in a compressed and synthesized image, with a circle arrangement. This helps to bring out the atmosphere of the scenes, their artistic direction, by emphasizing their general hue. The user explains:
” The color average of each frame in the episode is then distributed in a concentric circle with the start of the episode in the center and the end credits at the edge of the discs. It’s a great way to visualize the color palette across episodes. “. It’s an approach that we sometimes see, for other films and series.
Thus, depending on the position of the colors in the circles, we can guess the scenes that are in play. This is obviously obvious with episodes two (Adrift – Adrift) and seven (The eye — The Eye), with a lot of blue for one (there are many scenes at sea) and orange for the other (a lot of ash following an eruption).
Other examples? episode three (Adar) is with a brown tint, because the action highlights the Orcs and we are very close to the earth — even below. For episode one (The Shadow of the Past — Shadow of the Past), golden is the majority, because the scenes on the sacred lands of Valinor are numerous. The green is also noticeable in allies — Alloyedin reference to the lands of Eregion.
