They released them a couple of years after they'd started filming.
And most of the scenery looks the way it's shown - we don't have many people, so a lot was filmed in really normal places - like the city park about 10 minutes from my primary (elementary, to you ) school, and a high school in the same suburb - but for like, Lothlorien... I mean, in the books, those trees are meant to be totally extraordinary, and NZ isn't naturally deciduous. And Mount Doom and the Misty Mountains are also actually in the same chain of volcanoes here, so they cgi'd the crap out of the former to make it look like it was a standalone mountain.
Now that I think about it, that means I've climbed over the misty mountains
