              Behind The Scenes On The Making Of The Hobbit

              J. R. R. Tolkien’s books are some of the most cherished stories in modern literature. You would have to have been living under a rock to miss the movie adaptation of The Lord of The Rings which have grossed more than 2.9 Billion dollars in revenue . Director Peter Jackson helped propel the trilogy to a whole new audience after creating three of the most successful movies of all time, and now he is busy at work with the classic Tolkien story The Hobbit. This behind the scenes videos features Peter showing you a lot of the preproduction for the film including many of the props, sets, actors, and costumes.

                All they really needed was stand-ins, not real actors, a few $30 reflectors and a bit of photoshop and possibly after effects. Why break the bank when you don’t have to?

                Two Epic M’s.
                Though, the monitor was displaying a non-epic HUD, anyone have any idea what they used? And there appeared to be far more wires running around the camera rig for what should be hooked up.
                Though what can I say, I’ve never shot a 3D feature with two Epics.

                @David_Keller: It’s not really moving away from film when it’s simply a stop difference in latitude, 5K, and less grain than many film stocks.
