Well aren’t you the doting father so proud for your achievement and not too fucked about your daughters loosing out - still you got in so that’s all that matters eh !
The creation of hobbiton is actually quite amazing. As a perosn who watched all the movies, you see all these amazing places like Hobbiton, and you dream that they were real. But, in most cases they are not. Just learning that Hobbiton actually exist is an amazing feeling that is very hard to describe.
Watching this video 2023.... That feeling when Elijah Woods said "I turned 19 when I first came to Hobbiton for the first time 11 years ago, I'm 30 now. " It's been 11 years since this video was posted, he's now 42 years old.
"remember, if you're on this plane, it's because you're so important" All the guys driving the trucks: Well then, we'll just stay at home and see how well your movie goes lmao.
It’s beautiful to be a part of a cast that produced these films. That would be such an honor. Can’t help but get the sense that everyone has read the books and they all have the same idea of how it’s supposed to look and seeing them all meticulously working so hard to really bring these books to life... it’s magic. This is what makes humans unique.
I would never have imagine how much work and preparation goes into making a movie like this. It is truly amazing. And what an incredibly beautiful country.
that's funny but you want to hear something really funny? in tennessee was found hobbit sized people. the legend is they are behind the story of the stork - as children, they would be under the radar like a hair to a hawk, to very big birds that would take off with them. the lord of the rings and even star wars is more real than we realize.
I remember myself watching this vlog in 2011. It gave me an impression of almost been a part of this fantastic crew, creating the comming masterpiece. Seen the joy and botherings of returning to so beloved story was amazing! Suddenly had an idea to contact and really try to join, whatever the help I could provide. But we were just planning to become parents with my wife at that time... so put away that idea) Now we are experiencing the second war against russia since that time. Already twice lost all we had but were still lucky to stay alive. Now I am separated with my family, girls are safe far away abroad. And I can take a rest for a short while here at war. Watching this vlog is surprisingly bringing back the warm feelilngs of going back home. Back home to this movie and to my home, even in good memories. That is why would like to say THANK YOU, Sir and team! For the great story on the screen and great memories.
im always impressed at how people can come together like this and bring an entire art piece together..INCREDIBLY HARD TO DO! imagine all the bands that could of would of should of but broke apart of fell through. it happens with music , video games, and movies, but these movies, everyone was just one it seems.
6:51 “It’s weird when you come to a place you literally thought you would never be again”. I’m so happy,that Peter Jackson returned to this place. Noone could make The Hobbit better then him.
@@Altherot it was so shit because the studios made them stretch it into 3 movies instead of 2, so they had to rush to fill in the now extra time with giant CGI action scenes which add nothing to the overall plot
@@Toaster1111 my problem wasn't with the cgi, but the fact that Azog and Tauriel arent supposed to be there. But hey, the Hobbit is still a good series to watch.
Oh my Gosh!! This was 8 years ago now? 🥲 The song/instrumental of the movie always brings nostalgia. It makes you think about the good things, miss people, places and situations and made you think where did the time go? 🥺💘
It's been 19 years since I first heard the Shire music... And I still always get teary-eyed from it this weird "I am home, all is calm and peaceful" feeling I could just watch a full movie of just "one year as a Hobbit" with shire music and be happy
I choke up every time I hear the Shire theme. I’m currently learning it on my fiddle. I gave myself a new goal on my bucket list: go to Hobbiton, and play Concerning Hobbits on my violin, in Bag End
Damn there's such a healthy atmosphere to this whole thing, I'd love to participate in something like this.. Especially considering the final product is to stay with millions of hearts for years to come..
I literally have tears streaming down my face, it’s looks so beautiful in Hobbitan. If I’m this emotional seeing it through a screen and cannot image what it’ll be like when I eventually see it in myself.
Gospel of Jesus Christ. John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died on the Cross for all the sin of the World, and now we can be Forgiven of all of our sins and be washed clean by the Blood of Jesus Christ for our iniquities trespasses... now all you need to do is Repent of all of ur sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry with all ur heart, and if you Repent and still go back to sinful things nothing will happend but if you are truly serious Lord will change ur life forever) (example of repenting Father God I ask in Jesus Name please forgive me of all my Sins I acknowledge that im a sinful man/woman I am truly sorry and trust in Jesus that he lived suffered and died on the cross for me and my sins so I can be Forgiven was barried and that you rised him on the 3th day please wash me clean with the blood of Christ make in me a new heart that can love and forgive Lord change my desires change me Lord Jesus come into my life change everything about me make me a new creation fill me with ur HolySpirit...)is what sin is Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. and the only way to heaven is Trough Jesus Christ there is no other way! John 14:6 I Am The Way The Truth And The Life No Man cometh to the Father Except Trough Me. and you are saved by Grace Trough Faith not by works, we cannot save urselfs from sin we don't get to go to heaven because we don't get to go to heaven because we are a Good People we are not!, we cannot earn ur salvation it is given to us as a Free Gift all we need to do is receive it! Romans 3:23 For All have sinned and Felt Short of the Glory of God. There is none Good but God!, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10: Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelation 21:8 KJV./././
The passion for the landscape really shined throughout the movies and helped making it feel massive and real.. The logistics involved are almost like moving small armies which requires great coordination and the people involved can be surely proud of themselves even if their work is invisible (or only indirectly visible) on screen.. Being part of the process as an actor or backstage employee must have been an adventure on itself.. These diary videos are great, thanks!!
The organisation that goes into these productions is phenominal. A shout out to ALL the people working behind the scenes and on the ground of all the fantastic movies that entertain us and tell us stories of fantasy, fiction and fact . Without them, they would never get done .❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
@Gravy Gravity Gravitational ...you must be a lot of fun at parties. By the way there is no fundamental human right that entitles you to behave like a jerk, microaggressions or not. That is not a "right" that you're missing out on lol.
I remember watching these back then, 2012 was a great year for me, and it's really hard to believe it was over 9 year ago now - we are as far from these productions diaries as we were from Return of the king back then. Watching it now I'm even more glad they did these vlogs than I was 9 years ago.
I want just to say thank you to everybody wich has to do something with the movie. There is so much logistic behind it, its an eye opener to see it here. You have done magic not only with creating my most beloved movies. Thank you !!
I was there in 2015. Being a hardcore lotr fan it was surrealistic.. it almost felt like ripping the beard off of Santa’s face sometimes. I left there in a confused state.
@@simonolofsson7488 So If a person wanted to "keep the fantasy/magic real", it would be better to not visit Hobbiton? I would understand that completely. Sometimes it's best to not know. And just enjoy the fantasy.
Ich bin 60 und habe Herr der Ringe und den Hobbit sicher schon 20 mal angesehen und bin immer wieder von dieser unendlichen Phantasie angetan. DANKE Tolkien, DANKE den hervorragenden Schauspielern , DANKE den Produzenten. Gerd F. aus Plauen in Deutschland
I lived in New Zealand for two years shortly after the third film was released, and I was fortunate to be able to see almost every single shooting location from the trilogy...the whole country really does feel like Middle-earth in real life lol
@RobI guess when New Zealand decides to issue me another working holiday visa since I maxed out my two years already lol. It's funny you should say that because I fell in love with the place to such an extent that I actually applied for permanent residency but because of the way the points system works (I was in my early 20s so I'd only been working full time for about a year or two) I missed the cutoff by 5. 😭
Mr. Jackson you are truly a gem. I have to say the fellowship, two towers, and return of the king are masterpieces and could never be remade into anything better than what you did. They are my favorite movies of all time I remember seeing the fellowship 17 years ago when I was 14 and was blown away I had never heard of the LOTR or the books. I bought the books read them, seen the other movies, and now all these years later absolutely nothing has changed. Pure masterpieces thank you for the amazing experiences.
To be honest Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit won't be forgotten for many decades to come. It's a classic and it has won many awards. So as long as civilization continues and people keep watching movies they will never forget about this.
Thanks for putting together just a small part of the logistics necessary to move a large crew around on location. From a retired Film Transport Manager, in Canada
Outstanding!! It is thrilling to know that New Zealand didn't let Hobbiton waste away. I can't think of a more perfect place to have a hobbit faire just like the Renaissance faires we have here. I can just imagine some of the souvenirs vendors could sell; everything from carved leather belts, wallets, pocketbooks, to capes, wands, hats, feet; anything one could imagine. What fun!! 😃
I visited Hobbiton 2 weeks ago and it looked exactly the way it does in this video, the gardeners are doing such a great job to preserve this location. If you visit NZ you must see this amazing set. Thank you Peter Jacksson and thank you Russel Alexander for giving us LOTR fans the opportunity to litterally walk in an setting from these epic movies. I cant wait for the last film to premier, I want to see Bilbos return to Hobbiton :)
Whan an absolute dream to be there not once but twice with a fully constructed set to last the test of time. I love these movies and have watched them countless times! I would have given anything just to sweep the floors and be there. Nothing will ever top the magic captured in these films! Call me a nerd but if I could replicate Bilbo's study, hearth, and dining room in my own home I would totally do it! How did I not know about these diaries...wonderful!
No other movies stir up as much emotion in me than the LOTR and Hobbit trilogies. They are just incredible and I'm very grateful to you, Mr. Jackson for giving us these gifts!! Howard Shore's beautiful music, the innocence of Hobbiton, the darkness of Mordor, the characters, the actors...all brilliant! I want to retire to Hobbiton, also! I wish I could be involved in something like this.
When I was born in New Zealand and raised for 13 years till moving to Australia? I still remember whatever script line from my childhood from Lord Of The Rings and now The Hobbit *when all this pandemic is over and airlines open again? I’ll go back to New Zealand and go see the one place I long to visit in my Bucket List because The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit is such an inspiration of life and happiness and these films made New Zealand a far more beautiful country to visit*
Lord of the rings & hobbit movies are gems.... the pure classics for upcoming generations. The masterpieces you cant make again. Even todays CGI cant do that what u guys did at that time. Thank u very very much for these movies sir
I would like to thank those who contributed, it was a very good movie, we would love to see the continuation of this series, I wish you and your teammates success.😊
Watching this diary has been so much fun this far! It really makes you appreciate those movies much more even though they are not as perfect as the lotr trilogy. Incredible work by the whole crew and still fantastic movies for the limited amount of time they had!
What a humbling experience!!! I'd like to say a special "Thank You" to all the crew members for working so hard to ensure this ginormous project went smoothly every day and night. I appreciate every little thing you guys did so that we could be entertained for a number of hours. Thank you , Thank you, Thank you.
We were lucky enough to tour Hobbiton 2018, I recommend making your reservation to eat at the Green Dragon restaurant at least 6 months prior. Now that in itself was amazing, the food, the display of the food, and each of us guest had fun singing, quoting our favorite parts, and I still have me on video reenacting the part where Bilbo shouts about going on his adventure, same spot too! The Hobbiton was the best experience and memory for us, hubby and youngest daughter. We did the latest tour, so we could walk through as the sun fell and all the lamps flickered their lights; absolutely magical! They also have a gift shop outside the Hobbiton, while awaiting your turn to ride the bus down, there at shop, you'll find all kinds of items you "must have". They now have the gift shop online too, so if you can't make the long flight to New Zealand, you just order and bring Hobbiton to your doorstep.
I have to tell you, when I first saw the scene of the dwaves bouncing down the river in barrels, I was on a rare flight over the Pacific, and the turbulence started up big time! The humour of the additiinal sensory experience helped me relax through it!! Thanks guys!!
@@Biden_is_demented With many people being home atm and a drought coming up, it turned into a threat of fresh water shortage here in the Netherlands. xD
Man Peter Jackson was/is the perfect Director to carry Tolkien's legacy. You can tell he loved every second of this and put his heart & soul into the production of the LOTR trilogy and the Hobbit. The part where he says "I wish I could retire and move into one of these Hobbit holes, he really meant it. What an absolute diamond of a man.
But do you think by some chance that they might still have the bulk of their old movie props & costumes in storage for future use ? Because if so I gotta movie in the works that could SURE use them... :)
But the result is astoundingly awesome! I loved the movie. Watched it when I was a boy. And now I'm 30 and my kids loved it to. :) its a real masterpiece.
God I would have killed for a job in this production. I would be so happy just being a PA. Just to walk around the set and the talents all day. breathing in everything Hobbit and LOTR. Amazeballs.
love Pete's blogs! watched all these over and over! never get bored! imagine hauling men, animals, food and all the crazy stuff all over the country! hats off to all those who planned, organized and managed all these moving about - merely watching gave me anxiety - how the hell did they pull it off??!!! must be the best crew ever!
it looks so fun being an actor/actress. It was always my dream when i was little but unfortunately i was born completely talentless, shy and in a country where not many actors go international 😂
Greatest thanks to Sir Peter Jackson for realizing us these unbelievable beauty of movies. What a huge crew you needed to do so. Wow. THANK YOU so much from the depths of my heart. ❤❤❤
What amazing movies, and amazing people! The ability of these films to actually immerse you into the world, and make you feel like you are in middle-earth is astounding!
