This is the most unique way of getting sound effects I've ever heard. This works out, Peter Jackson seems like a genius. Otherwise, he's just a crazy fuck :-)

"Peter Jackson and his crew have a rough cut completed but are still filling the gaps in the next Lord
of the Rings film, a picture that he says must be even better than the first one. Dark Horizons
reports that he is going to be recording battle sounds this weekend, and that he'll be going to an
interesting source to get the required sound bites. The location is Wellington Stadium, where a
rowdy crowd of 30,000 fans is expected to show up for a cricket match. Time out of the game will
be taken for Jackson's sound technicians to coach the crowd through a series of sound effects –
probably including everything from roars and cheers to feet stomping en masse."</div>
