It may be 9 years later, but I've on just found these diaries, and I've very much enjoyed them. You really get a sense of the hard work and complexity of putting a film of this scale together. But it's obvious the cast and crew love what they do. It's hard to watch from afar without getting emotional, but can't imagine the level of emotions of the people there experiencing the end. Can't help feeling like I chose the wrong profession. But thanks for sharing.

[@arim01]

those were really lovely words mate. Also, follow your heart, you are NEVER too old to do the things you love! "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us -Gandalf"

[@hellomate639]

I clicked on the video thinking I hadn't watched it before... but sure enough there's a like on it I gave it from probably not long after it came out because I don't remember any of this. Lmao.

[@lindaj5492]

Now 10+ years on, and I’m binge-watching!

[@marekkos3513]

Im with you.

[@BlunderB]

If anyone is curious 23 million feet of film is about 4500 hours of footage give or take witch is over 150 days of straight unedited footage

[@ThirdEngr]

I noted that too, and in watching the entire blog series, I noted that Balin and the actor portraying him (Ken Stott) never shows up.

[@wearestackedontopofeachother]

@@ThirdEngr oh god that’s true

[@grose2272]

Wow!

[@azogderschander6391]

@@ThirdEngr Hey it's 4 years later but did you notice that at: 13:25 and 13:38 there are always 2 people blurred out, you can't see them anywhere Maybe these 2 Person's have something to do with it?

Whenever the Shire tune kicks in 😢😭

I am not crying, YOU'RE crying...... Oh dammit 😭😭😭

[@debraterry7141]

Peter Jackson I'm sure it is long past the time you would be reading these comments if you ever did.. but I have to tell you , you have made the 6 most incredible movies of my lifetime and iam 56 years old. I will never forget them and thanks to DVDs I visit them often . But nothing can compare to seeing them on the big screen..Much love and thanks, deb

[@bunnyboo215]

It's 2021, and here I am watching this blog for thr first time. I've just watched The Hobbit back in 2018 and I rewatched it again this year. Cheers to the best movie of all time. ❤️

[@droptopp3479]

Idk why the hobbit got so much hate, i know the cgi and sme fight scenes were unrealistic but the cast and overall cgi and soundtrack really made this movie great. To me the hobbit was still a 10/10 and lotr was 11/10. Such an amazing director and cast/crew members to help make this amazing work of art movie. I would not mind watching hours and hours of behind the scenes and production work. Soo cool to see these other ppl who dnt get recognized for their talents of this film

[@jd808]

ahahahahah

[@jocen3]

"of all time"? I think you're forgetting a certain trilogy there, mate.

[@jd808]

the hobbit was a fucking joke

[@JjackVideo]

Not really, but happy you liked it

[@markotodorovic7013]

7:08 "Andy's flying Serkis". Brilliant.

[@Hardtreads]

My most favourite production video... So much comedy!!

[@HTownCostumer]

End of 2019 .. just realised this exists ! Anyone else ? xxD

[@BlueKiwii]

Same here!

yeah so weird...

[@Kampf0r]

Yup! What the hell xD

[@Jackjesse-jt5ii]

Why am only now finding about this it makes me mad

[@samv.l.5819]

Still after all these years I can feel the incredable and loving magic these movies gave me, I can not say it enough but these movies are by far the best I've ever seen in my life. I'ts such a huge part of me now and I'm greatfull for it. Thank you all for this and have a wonderful life

[@lilyn98]

i wish every movie production would put this much love into a behind the scene film because there is so much love and craftsmanship to show that only makes fans feel closer to the entire set

[@frostyh81]

Peter Jackson, you are AMAZING! You and the whole entire crew who worked to make this movie. I know it'll be an truely remarkable experience to watch :)

[@wearetheworld000888]

I love watching these casts in particular just interact with each other, it simply fascinates me to watch these incredible actors like Martin and Richard who are almost opposites of their characters truly show their colors, and I absolutely adore each one more the more I see them outside of character.

[@JuxtapositionRed]

0:11 Peter Jackson so cool, he takes pictures of his fans

[@danran7347]

Casting - What films have you been a part of? Comicon attendee - I participated in a Peter Jackson short film by stating "Hi from Comicon!" Casting - .....you got the job

[@MrJisoe]

peter, i dont think you would see this. i cannot fully emphasise just how much your lotr films have influenced my childhood. when i watch them I cry not out of sadness, but just out of sheer appreciation for the film. the score, the acting, the dialogue, the cinematography, and just the general vibe of the trilogy is perfect. and proves to dont need a massive budget to achieve perfection on such an epic scale. So thankyou, for influencing and shaping my love of film today.

[@toxicthewolf9videos]

10:33 Around here and then when they just show everyone messing around, it's perfect.

[@dreamchampagne]

2024 still making me teary eyed ❤

[@ET-en8gi]

I'm jealous as all hell. What an experience. What a beloved group of people. ❤❤❤

[@pretzel3273]

I am so so so glad peter was so kind to include us too. I've cried, I've laughed but most importantly it made me watch EVERYTHING again just to feel the magic happen once again.

[@geekcorner6257]

Anyone else feel like these production diaries are comfort videos even though at the time you are watching these, they are like 11 years old?

[@talesofmaora]

man, this makes me wish i can make movies for a living. amazing.

[@mysticmayhem1827]

Its been so long, i remember parts and faces but can never piece it all together. Watching this has been emotional I feel like im right there with them watching it all from the beginning to the very last day. the amount of hours and materials that went into this as much as it did for LoTR is spectacular. I will cherish these vlogs for many years when i want to remenise on such films.

[@RakelSermar]

really emotional ... I could not hold back the tears Greetings from Spain Os haceis querer... Gracias por todo y dejarnos de nuevo ver los sueños de la Tierra Media

[@EMDrecs1]

watching these production diaries actually makes the movies even better! totally gonna watch the trilogy today

[@MariaVosa]

HAHA! Martin Freeman referenced a Little Britain sketch! "I'm gonna write the theme song, sing the theme song" Gods, I love you all so much!

[@constantin194]

2024, I just rewatched all the Hobbit movies in extended version, I just reread the Hobbit, and KZbin shows me these VLOGS! SO GOOD!!!!!! 🤩

[@gustavslanesens2227]

2021, first time seeing this. Almost 10 years old and still amazing

[@jimcameron9848]

My mother was a hobbit - my father was human - and it took me a while to stop breast feeding but shortly after i got my driver's license I stopped. I think these films portray Hobbits in a fair and just way. Although I am only half-hobbit, I can say that my mother's lessons about sharing food and steeling food as a legitimate past time when no one is looking was properly portrayed.

[@usagiXrookia]

After becoming so used to seeing the same people everyday, and becoming close to them, I can imagine it is so hard to say goodbye and see everyone go, and go back to your live before the films...What a fantastic opportunity it would be, to part of such an adventure and a team like this :C

[@xeric1953]

Seeing this series and the harry potter series end was a completion to my childhood. Thank you for these one of a kind films

[@feduaura3141]

This inconspicuous man in checked shirt is truly Lord of the...of the everything & everyone :) God, taking part in the film like 'Hobbit' or LOTR must be the adventure of life.

[@alanatolstad4824]

Thanx so much for sharing the magic.

[@mayday4495]

these blogs make me smile so much :))))

[@RobcC2809]

I have never been so excited about a movie in my entire life. Words cant explain. I've seen each of the LOTR probably thousands of times, my excitement for this film is unbelievable.

[@ruadeil_zabelin]

"I wanna write the themetune... sing the themetune" hahahahaha

[@KingJaredoftheLand]

At the end, it dawned on me all over again that this all began with a single English professor writing an obscure note on the back of a blank exam paper.

Peter Jackson is an absolute legend, one of the only directors I can comfortably say has turned a book(s) into a film without in any way, shape or form changing the mental image I formed from reading it.

[@justalonesoul5825]

There you go, you guys made me shed tears again! This is so clearly such an incredible human experience, cast or crew alike. I wish I could find one of that scale, with such passion, camaradery, skill, talent, respect... I'll start looking again. Feels to me like the 3 last years, since 1st lockdown and losing close ones, have passed in a complete blur. It felt very good to stumble upon this vlog and feel the energy of that journey, of those passionate people.

[@Dumitaz]

13:13 Guess who is the scale double for Gandalf? XD

[@evilagent]

PJ and crew... you are doing justice to Professor Tolkien's vision. That's the best compliment I can possibly give. THANK YOU!!!

[@toogee1850]

Radagast was definitely great, although the bird poop on his face the entire time throughout the movies was kind of distracting lol

[@northlight11]

I love them!! It seems like the most incredible cast of ALL time!! They are all so humble and seems like genuinely good people...

Watching these videos really makes me realize how much work and effort was put forth behind the scenes. When I see The Hobbit in theaters, I think I'll have a much greater appreciation of the sets, filming, costuming, etc. thanks to the Production Diaries. And I won't skip through movie credits ever again. Thank you to all the crew for sharing these with us!

[@frank34443]

Watching these blogs makes me so happy. Everyone is just so passionate about what they do there and that means something. Being a part of something so great must be an amazing feeling. Can't wait to see the movies.

[@Aangel452]

It must have been a wonderful feeling to be able to say we’ve done it. But also very sad to say goodbye to each other after such a long time together. Fabulous cast and incredible crews in all divisions, they really did all have your back Peter and I know why. Your vision, direction and tireless long hours to bring it all together truely shows your amazing accomplishments at your craft. Well done

I hope it makes a lot of money. They put so much love and effort into making this film. They deserve every dollar.

Thanks for letting us follow you on the journey of making these films. I'm ready for another epic adventure signed Mr. Jackson.

[@zoe_lixx]

Omg these videos are so touching! I loved how they made long LOTR documentary clips featuring every corner of the studio and every crew that contributed to the awesome movie. And I'm glad they're doing the same thing with the Hobbits. They look so happy, cooperative, and grateful.
