Remember that part in the LOTR Extended Editions where Andy Serkis talks about how, as Gollum, he had to slide down a creek to catch a fish? Apparently, it had snowed the night before, so crews where out melting snow off the creek edge in order for the scene to be filmed. Well….

The top photo is that creek. In his full mo-cap suit, Andy got on his belly and began sliding along, pretending to catch a fish.

The second photo is where he hit ice and couldn’t stop himself from sliding.

The third photo is where he would have ended up, sliding off the edge and down that waterfall, if one of the film crew hadn’t caught him at the last moment.

Just a bit of perspective on what Andy has gone through to portray Gollum…
