I’m not a big J.R.R. Tolkien fan, but this infographic, by design student J.T. Fredsma, intrigued me. According Fridsma…
A visualization of the journey of the Fellowship in The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy—directed by Peter Jackson and adapted from the original books by J.R.R. Tolkien. It synthesizes which characters are with each other and where they are geographically on a time line, and also highlights major events in the plot along the way. The visual style was inspired by 19th century typography and design. *Early inspiration for this project from xkcd.
The FastCompany blog post explains..
The center of the infographic is an actual map of Middle Earth; circling it, there’s an arc showing the running count of screentime minutes. Each spot of the map is blown out, and the red lines indicate the progress of the various characters
Have fun, Frodo.
