The Hobbit: An Unexpectedly Complicated, Expensive Journey Part II
Topless Robot: When we last saw a Hobbit behind-the-scenes production vlog from director Peter Jackson, he was talking about how insane making a movie like this is in terms of locations, moving cast and crew, feeding said cast and crew, and all those other behind-the-scenes problems movie-goers never think of when watching a movie (at least a good movie)

What I would give for the opportunity to work on this film, those locations are simply remarkable. It has been my dream for sometime now to go and travel across new zealand. But they do make an interesting point that it is taking them almost the same amount of time to shoot two films that it took to shoot three. Just utterly incredible, can not wait for this film to be finished
The locations that they use for this show are wonderful. I would love to visit these places. It would be amazing to wake up every morning and go to work in such a wonderful place. It just makes me happy watching these videos because they are having so much fun. I seeing these amazing locations makes me want to work on a show like this that is able to shoot a lot on location.
I too am impressed by the locations and the mere scope of the thing, but I think that a lot of those people have probably started ignoring the scenery around them, and I liked what the catering said about not trying to take it for granted. Similarly, one of the actors was very excited about the helicopter ride; it was clear when the director and production folk were getting out of helicopters their minds were deep in other topics. Particularly in something as logistically complicated as that, it is important to step back and take a look around.
The fact that they are spending so much time filming all over the countryside? I think it telling of green screen technology. It its cool that it has become so cheep that it is a mark of a low budget movie (since it is now more expensive to go out on location) but I think it’s kinda sad. I guess what I am trying to say is that I applaud the hobbit for going out on location instead of copping out and just filming everything in front of a green screen
