Of all the Behind the Scenes vids I've seen, the ones for Lord of the Rings were phenomenal. I actually wanted to have been there, despite not yet having discovered my love for filmmaking. The update vlogs coming from Peter Jackson are no different.
I love fantasy film, I love Lord of the Rings, and I love epic adventures. From what it sounds like, the Hobbit is all of them. Filmmaking, even on the scale I have done, is pretty adventurous. Toss in 254 days of shooting, some helicopter rides around New Zealand just to scout locations, and 14 principal characters and you've got some pretty promising adventure in store:
I would love to be there in some capacity. As a third year film student, this is the stuff of dreams. I mean come on; they've got 48 RED Epics!
Peter Jackson is one of the guys that makes me dream. I dream of one day working on a project like this. I dream of one day directing a project like this. The only tarnish to those dreams is that there will never be another Lord of the Rings project. Unless Jackson decides to one day shoot segments of the Silmarillion, or some of The Book of Lost Tales. One can dream.
