OK, was it Duenan who said he had a screen shot of Gandalf with his Istari shield? I replayed scenes in both versions of the movies, have looked so close and just can't see it.

This is an artist's impression of the scene from the movie.

I'll have to go back and replay the scene to get a timestamp though.

Aw that's sick as! I love it!

I'll share the one I found and use :3

Gandalf and the Balrog on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago

That’s an awesome one! The full fury of the Balrog on display there.

I think it's the sphere he formed when he said he's a servant of the secret fire etc. From 2:08:04 to 2:08:10 of the theatrical version

I was thinking of a round shield, not a force field. 😐

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 1 points 8 months ago

Sorry. Been through too much differing terms across mediums using shields in various descriptions.

Barrier would have been more appropriate.
