Originally posted by Vampus Do you really thing they hired 10500 extras for the helms deep battle scene? :p No, but it looked like they might have. The point was that it was stated that the person "could see on screen was Maya being used." Whether I know they used CG or not is irrelevant to whether I can pinpoint exactly where it was used. I knew the skeletons in Pirates were CG also, but the smooth transition between them and the actors' live shots were such that it wasn't noticeable.
