- That's a technique that's not done a lot, but it isn't hard to find
- examples of, especially lately (Disney is big on it nowadays). Ralph
- Bakshi, the director of 'Lord of the Rings,' has always done a lot of
- that. The interesting thing about his use of the technique in that
- movie is that a lot of live footage they used to animate over was not
- shot specifically for the movie... for the Battle of Helms Deep (which
- pretty much closes out that film) they used a lot of early film
- footage taken during the Spanish-American War... that explains why
- that battle looked so real!
