Peter Jackson’s video blog while filming The Hobbit

At ten minutes, I was surprised how quickly this went, and how much I enjoyed it. Jackson talks about filming The Hobbit in 3-D, and shows how he and his team are doing it. It’s fascinating both from a technical (he has custom built rigs that incorporate 48 Red Epic cameras) and a story-telling (he has two artists sketch identical scenes in red and blue that render in 3-D to give the cinematographers an exact representation of key moments in the film) perspective. I’m looking forward to seeing the films that will come from this.

    Nothing but smut on those artist room walls.

    I’m breathless.

    I want to see more of Alan Lee and John Howe, the concept artists. They’re delightful.

    I want to see them in 3-D.
