THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, Production Diary 9

[@rudiratte1]

i wish all of the directors would do these production diaries. they are just amazing to watch

[@hellssurprise9338]

Absolutely they are fascinating ♥

[@Coolroekoe]

the beard capture part was hilarious

[@killerworrier4724]

😢

[@adrikrotten880]

Honesly blew me away

[@karlmorrison2713]

no it wasn't haha

[@killercards7733]

I need a time stamp

[@Xadoras]

damn! 5 Years too late

[@situationcitation7380]

things are surprisingly last minute and disorganised, makes me feel better about cramming for exams

[@NintendoCaprisunish]

Who knew exams weren’t about actual knowledge but just crunch time on easy mode

[@gondolin12]

he was given an order by warner brother to make 3 movies instead of two last minute, just two months before the actual shooting so that’s why everything is hectic, he had to stretch two movies into three. warner brothers screwed epic movies into disney chimes

[@kakaroto.4-b1l]

Yes it was a rushed fuck fest

[@MageAtYou]

because reality is never as organised and everything is very spontaneous

[@hillaronkainen5321]

The orchestra sounds so beautiful it gave me shivers! I'd love to do the work of any of these people. Even tea makers or something as everything looks so bloody awesome!

[@Laura-vz3ts]

"I just stare at code all day" hah my life

[@WakoDoodle]

Amy Summers *blinks* OH NONONO! I lost where it was! I'm so getting fired! :(

[@redeye5401]

are you part of this production ?

[@10HW]

6 years later, are you still starin at code :/? x)

[@4400marko]

Yeah, I do that occasionally too. I wish we could see his right monitor better to figure out its content.

[@ludwigmack]

After watching this I get amazed that things like can this actually exist. The crazy amount of people, organization and coordination is insane! The huge investment required and the countless pieces needed to finish the puzzle of the movie is just unfathomable. We are so lucky to be able to watch such beautiful and complex artworks in theses times!

[@affabaffa4393]

I still don’t yet understand how the orchestra all sees the music for the first time at the same time they are recording and still manage to play it so beautifully!

[@DrayDrayn]

Thats why they're paid professionals

[@user-rr5ce1wb2j]

Reading music is like reading a book once you're proficient.

[@davidbyster9249]

Pure skill and real professionalism

[@User666xxx]

@@davidbyster9249bullshit. Reading music that’s what it’s called

[@whenraindropsfall]

11:43 "The musicians will see the music for the first time. They don't rehearse it or anything like that. They just turn up, the sheet music is in front of them, and they play."

[@228Ghost228]

Thats how you make money, lots.

[@beetriceho]

Every single TwoSet fan be like...cramming in practice 1 minute before the lesson or before the concert.

[@Mushkus]

I am a musician and I cannot believe this BS

[@WetaMantis]

I highly doubt the musician sightread the music for the first time at the recording.

[@JackPilcherMay]

We do!

[@SavvyScribblin]

Oh, what I wouldn't give to have a job working behind the scenes on films like this.

Here in quarantine, and revisiting some old stuff. As a huge LOTR fan, I was surprised to learn something new here. That Dame Edna was the Goblin King... I don't research like "fan"atics do, but this one I missed along the road somewhere.

[@Skoofy1998]

The Soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks i've ever heard

[@alorindanya]

Sometimes I wonder what JRR Tolkien would think seeing his works come to life. I think it is amazing that we are able to bring so many things from the imagination to life. Thank you to Peter and all the crew that work so hard to bring such quality to the story they are presenting.

[@ananyasingla9033]

The only words that could actually define the life of an editor is.. "Sleep deprived"😂😭

[@jadevanvoss2399]

Being able to experience a finished film of such quality is a blessing. I feel sad that people still complain about paying at the movies. We should appreciate the work that goes into making films.

[@PeterJackson]

Have a look at our latest video diary.

[@cam31007]

I just want to say that I admire you sir. You have inspired my with your blog. I'm from Honduras and I want to start to direct my own movies. Thank you for the inspiration and I hope that someday I will be like you sir. Greetings! (sorry for my bad english)

[@stefanocarioli]

Good!!

[@andrejdaubner9627]

Super video of how filming The Hobbit

[@AngiePintos]

Cool video! But the film was SUPERB! Even better than the book, if that's even possible! EXCELLENT WORK! :D

[@Sinbew]

Oh, this is so great...

"The movie will be finished two days before the Premiere...hopefully" "IT WAS AWESOME THE FULL LEAKED FILM CAN BE SEEN"

[@love_tammy]

i love it to watch making of videos, cause only like this you completely understand how much work is behind a movie! all this people do so much and it's amazing!

[@Grimsoul1]

"i just stare at code all day, slurp" hilarious!

[@lunarebony6122]

I love how the existence of this production diary perfectly matches the fact that they're from new zealand. THE KIWI HUMOUR WILL LIVE ON

[@ABESuperKiteDay]

Peter you and your team are legends. Thank you for bringing us all these incredible movies.

[@micglou]

My best sir... that is the quintessential of a prequel... It tells the story before the story... and that's exactly what this is.

[@Theoatob]

"I just stare at code all day." That made me laugh so hard.

[@irishmanirl]

I find this type of behind the scenes footage fascinating, it makes me appreciate movies even more! Thanks for posting Peter!

[@whenraindropsfall]

2:37 omg he does all the code for the special effects and rigging is he even human

[@bouncyboi123]

No

[@Shadowkiss1]

I was hoping The Hobbit would take us back to Middle-earth in a similar way LOTR did, and it did. Well done Mr. Jackson (and the whole team and actors), it is a beautiful movie, in every way. I am also glad there is 3 movies instead of just one. P.S. The scene in the pantry when Bilbo is upset and trying to talk to the dwarves, and then says "I'm sorry", and Balin then says "Apology accepted" is hilarious.

[@shamelesshayden621]

They were all great to watch!!!! Thanks for uploading diaries!!!!!!!

[@susan8576]

Watching these production diaries feels like attending film school.

[@mjrox22]

when the orchestra started playing...i got major chills holy crap

[@Tirlex]

I was always wrong for thinking that movies were easy to Made

[@bepowerification]

it depends on the movie? if your movie is 80% CGI and it being good relies on visuality completely its hard to make.. if its a simple movie with a good story, its simple to make. for example, I like "Coherence" more than the Hobbit and its budget was 50.000USD and they filmed it in the directors house in 5 days ..

[@FizzleYap]

Asian kid: "I just stare at code all day" sips coffee

looking at these concept artists draw makes me want to cry. it looks like such hardship, but such /beautiful/ hardship.

"Department of Internal Beard-Hairs" ..amazing xD And ridiculous. But more amazing than ridiculous 😂

[@KiwiFin]

How amazing would it be to sit at Abby Road listening to a full orchestra playing the hobbit sound track. Or in the editing room! WOW!!!

[@bunkey-ed2vc]

im getting tired just watching this series, i don't even want to imagine the amount of work that went into this

[@jeroencardienaal5523]

4:23 is the beard part serious ?

[@HappyL1ne_]

Yea

[@ProtoGhostal1701]

+Jeroen Cardienaal You ever tried filming with beards? It's impossible! I hear that Neil Cicierega had to spend a million or so just for a 2 minute video about knock knock jokes because one of the actors decided to grow a beard.

[@axr6327]

Protagonist Jones I hope you’re not kidding about that. I’m not going to look it up because I want to believe.

[@RandomPlaceHolderName]

@@axr6327 Beards, fur and hair are all incredibly difficult to recreate.

[@sophiejanemiller1886]

Probably no-one cares, but a couple years ago I stayed in an Air BMB on vacation in NZ, and the person who lived in the house played the cello in the Hobbit. I thought it was pretty cool that I was staying in the house of someone who was part of one of my favorite movies!

[@sarahm4026]

What a huuuuuge amount of work all those people have to put in.... that's bloody amazing!

[@damascusroad07]

i love watching how a great film is made. This video shows how dedicated, determined, talented and hard working individuals work to make a great film everyone can enjoy.

[@dantechaowe6465]

I dont know if Peter Jackson or anyone working on The Hobbit will see this comment but whatever. I just wanted to say Thank you for making such a wonderful film. I suffer from OCD and at night is when it is at its worst when all my obsessions and fears run though my head. The Hobbit cured that. Everynight I put the movie on blu-ray on my HD big screen lay in bed and with the first 30 minutes of the film in the shire, the dinner party ect I fall asleep like a baby. With a huge smile on my face.

What are you on about?

[@vafasadigzade6714]

Dear Peter Jackson, I just now came across with these AMAZING production videos, and I couldn't stop until I watch all of them. I should say, they are as interesteng as the movie itself ! Thanks a lot !!!

[@StarryRhythm43]

The dedication of these people are incredible. I never realized how much work it took to make a movie. Can't wait to see The Hobbit! :D

[@andremccree8937]

you can tell peter jackson feels he botched these films. he seems so disappointed in them. he knows they didn't live up to the lord of the rings trilogy.

[@dwalinfundin884]

WHY BILBO GETS THE SPOTLIGHT HE DOES NOTHING! YOU COULD RENAME THE MOVIE ''DWALIN SON OF FUDIN'' and other dwarves

[@Guttor]

Bilbo actually does stuff instead of Frodo who sucks and needs sam for everything
