New Hobbit Blog
Fri, November 4, 2011 Peter Jackson and his crew are feverishly working on The Hobbit, a film that at one point was to be directed by Guillermo Del Toro who is great in his own right, but it feels fitting that Jackson is the man that will make what in some ways is the prequel to the Lord of The Rings trilogy, although it stands alone just as easily.
In this blog the focus is on the 3D work they are doing on the film and the rigs they have created to get the various shots they want. I'm not a fan of 3D myself but it's interesting to see the process that goes into using the technology and how it requires adaption from the various art departments on the film in order to get the shots to look right, as colour distortion is a big factor.
I enjoyed this look at the film, the vibe from the set if very easy going and you get the feeling all involved are having a good time, those familiar with the book will no doubt enjoy the look at Mirkwood and a little battle being shot there.
The next blog will be from an exterior location as filming moves outdoors for the next few months on the mammoth project that will be split into two films.
