It has been since July that we received the last video blog from Peter Jackson for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, so it is actually quite a pleasant surprise to get another one. I honestly thought they were done.
This is the first Video Blog for the film that we have received since it was announced that The Hobbit will be a trilogy, and yet they don’t really make a big point about it in the blog, only briefly mentioning that there are two more films to go after this one. Peter Jackson and company continue with business as usual here, mainly dealing with the various facets of post-production. We get a fun look behind what goes into the last few weeks of making the film, including the soundtrack, computer effects, and even pre-visualization – which is apparently still going on even in post-production! It is simply a great behind-the-scenes tour of the madness that engulfs this massive production, which is far from over. There are even quite a few laughs to be had along the way, including some hilarity dealing with dwarven beards…
… you’ll know what I mean when you watch…
Head on over to Peter Jackson’s Facebook to watch in HD, and don’t forget to check out PopcornMonster.com’s review of the film here.
