Tbh you could argue the techniques created for the lotr films set the standard for the current era of filmmaking

Props and makeup instead of full cgi?

Actually funnily enough the CGI is one of the biggest areas they innovated in, in addition to the great practical effects

Look up Peter Jackson's Weta workshop & digital, a lot of the stuff that's commonplace in cinema today has its origins there for the LotR films
