Grant Major

From Tolkien Gateway

Grant Major (1955) was the production designer for The Lord of the Rings (film series). He oversaw the creation of sets such as Rivendell, Hobbiton, Moria, and others. Realism and detail were a must in transforming Middle-earth to the screen, without Major's perfectionism the films would have been greatly different.

"Their contribution to the project was absolutely fundamental. They gave us the look and feel of Middle-earth, and they brought the most intimate knowledge of Tolkien lore to their work."
― Grant Major on working with John Howe and Alan Lee
