The Hobbit: Original Production Video Blog

In case Peter Jackson didn't have enough to keep him busy while filming the Hobbit, he also filmed a vlog for the fans to keep them updated on what was going on behind the scenes. Eeeek!! I absolutely LOVE these videos.  There are 10 videos for the first movie and they average about 13 minutes a piece.

Video #1:

Peter Jackson discusses a little of what it's like to return to Middle Earth, and the process of The Hobbit movie and shows exclusive footage of props, costumes, set design, and even the actors. Showing a little of what happens a few days before they start filming.  Also, Peter's face at 6:06 is just perfect!

 

Video #2:

Peter sits down and talks about the first block of shooting, and about finding places for location shooting. Also, cast and crew discuss what they will be doing while on a break.

Video #3:

Peter gets lost, and cast and crew talk about what their favorite memories were from the first few months of shooting. Cast comically support their characters and each other. Also, "which dwarf would you like to invite to dinner?, and John Rhys-Davies stops by.
