Neil writes: I went to the Alan Lee event. It was okay...he is very soft spoken and shy. The bulk of the event was Mr. Lee presenting sketches of environments/characters/equipment. Many of his sketches were used to design what we saw in the movie. He also spoke about WETA and answered questions. He really didn't speak about illustrating the books as much as he spoke about working on the movie. At the end he showed us the "making of TTT" and the preview of TTT, both taken straight from the DVD.
