Carpenters, Art dept, Greens, Locations... they're all continuing to work. Most of the people who get to leave early or have vacations are going to be actors, directors, producers. Lighting and Grip dept probably had some time off or some light rigging to do..
His cast and crew have said nothing but great things about him. The only con about working with Peter is that he likes to keep refining everything until the last possible minute. If you ever watch the making of the lord of the rings or kong docs, everyone works until they run out of time.
I wish I could thank Peter Jackson and his crew personally for these behind the scenes videos and the extras on the LotR dvds. They've completely changed my life and who I am as a person in ways I don't think they'll ever understand and I thank them for it.
All these years later...the films were special and these diaries make them even more better special lol. Humble cast, crew and staff. Pleasure to watch.
Can can't believe its 2021 already. Its been this long since the movie came out and the movie feels like it came out just yesterday. Lord Of The Rings and the Hobbit movies never get old. Such a unique story to tell.
So long ago, I wish i found this then. You have given the reverence to this series that it deserves.. The only thing I wish was different was that it was done in order.. The Hobbit, then the 3 books from the lord of the rings.. I read them all, in order, in 1975, 4 times, and I still know them by heart. So you know I am the biggest critic of this undertaking that there ever could be. And I found it MOST EXCELLENT!!!! From the actors, to the setting, to the sound. Well done all of you.
Well, LOTR was always the more popular of the two, so I don't blame Jackson for wanting to get to that one first. Compare to Dragon Ball Z being aired on Toonami before the original Dragon Ball.
I remember watching all of these back in the day, and feeling so anxious about them as well for the movie themselves. This trilogy gets a lot of hate in comparison to TLOR and I don't think it deserves it. Watching these vlogs you can clearly see the amount of love and effort that Peter Jackson put on them as much as he did with TLOR. He is a man with a passion for these stories. THE HOBBIT were fun to watch and still are, yes they had somethings that should have left in the cutting room, but they don't affect the story and the overall lore of the world created by Tolkien. Funny enough i'm coming back here after Amazon released their series (not watching it, not got hooked up with it), and what that series is doing is making people go back to THE LORD OF THE RINGS and THE HOBBIT and finding out they rather go and watch these movies than the tv series. Also is making new audiences discover these films and realizing they've been missing so much. And even with it's flaws, THE HOBBIT stands out as a better piece of entertainment than the series would ever be.
Incredible when you imagine that Peter Jackson has assets of 400 million Dollars. He just acts and dresses so normal. I know people earning 2k per month, and putting themselves in expensive clothings, and acting like super rich
I really enjoy, watching the Hobbit👍 I just wish it had been longer😊 and there'd been alot more singing! Deep respect, for all those talented people involved. Looking to see more in the future😊👍 All the best to everybody.🤗 Moira From England. 🌹♥
I have such a great respect for people like you! Who truly appreciates the work of filmmakers! And support their passion! As an aspirering filmmaker myself, I feel touched to see your comment!
Very enlightening, and so interesting to watch ! I'm so glad the director took the time and trouble to give us a notion about the movie - making process.
Peter jackson, cast, and crew. Thank you for all the hard work endless nights and sacrifices you've made to bring us these Movies it warms my heart when i watch them. Reminds me of a time when i still had my mom and she was a huge fan of the books and movies.
Wow ….. The amount of man-hours that went into the making of this movie is mind-boggling. Not to mention the amount of imagination and just plain hard work from all involved. Wonderful !
Wow...so much work. Even on vacation. And yet there are tons of bad reviews. Maybe they've changed a lot from the books but for me, its the best movie series I've watched. Hope to see another one in the future. Thank you sir!
Ian Mckellen, what a professional! Taking a break in the middle of Hobbit movies and immediately goes to do a play while everyone else is planning holidays...
Hello from Italy..Thankyou for posting these vlogs! Thankyou for bringing the Tolkien world to life..I Wish if i could be part of It All. Magical. Well done.
As a film maker, it's always a blessing to stay in somewhere like New Zealand. I live in Scotland and we have some gorgeous sights on our doorstep, will be using as much as we can in our next movie! Can't wait for The Hobbit, just hope the manage to keep Smaug under wraps until the cinema
At 9:11 Peter Jackson checks if a branch is a "Floater". Now I'm wondering if the line "Well, that's lovely, that is. A floater." in the movie is an inside joke...
I understand and agree completely. I can honestly say I have probably watched the LOTR behind the scenes dvd's more than the movies themselves. Film making is truly the greatest form of artistic and creative collaboration. The passion these people have for their work and each other is incredible and I would have done anything to be a part of it. I want to be a film maker more than anything now.
5 choppers in the air to scour location and survey the landscape... this production is/was out of this world, no wonder the sceneries were stunning in the movie
All LOTR & Hobbit movies are genius, I can literally watch them again and again and always find something new everytime as if its the first time I've seen them
I was wondering what kind of tea Peter drinks, he got his cup in almost every scene. :-) Maybe that tea will help us to become as creative and amazing as he is! :-)
I wish the production diaries were longer. I've watched part one, this one is part two, and I still have some more to go. Heh, that's about an hour when I get to diary #6, but I still wish this was on television.
i agree with you, as i saw the bts on the lotr, the story between the film crew and the great way of just being a family touched me more than the movie itself, even cried when the bts was over :/
If Peter Jackson would do the movies, then it would work out okay. Please, Peter, think about taking on "Eragon". But with Garrett Hedlund as Murtagh. He was perfect for the role in the one movie they produced.
Everytime Peter Jackson is sitting somewere with a drink in his hand,sometimes he takes a photo and always he is doing nothing. But I think he is the best director of the world.
Today I seen a beautifully Chinese made 98 inch U.L.C.D television The picture was pretty good. $8,900 you'd probly need two and 75 camera woman/ directors/ make up/artists ,stunt women,contract fruit pickers. And van. All filming is in the dark and everyone is attached to wires .some of which remain the actress in a parallel position .
You know..Just getting lost in 9 year old Hobbit production diaries.
The cheese does not stand alone. I'm enjoying the same. Cheers.
Me too.
it's called self care
me too
And here I am 2 years after you. ❤
Now I know why a film cost millions. Thank you Mr. Peter Jackson for all these videos. I am one of LOTR & Hobbit fans. Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾.
Love from Selangor Malaysia 🇲🇾
I'm new fans ,from Malaysia too
*Everyone talks about their holiday plans*
*Peter Jackson & costume designer continues to work*
Mad respect
Carpenters, Art dept, Greens, Locations... they're all continuing to work.

Peter Jackson must be the nicest director on the planet! If i was an actor i would dream about working with him.
o would kill to work with Tarantino
His cast and crew have said nothing but great things about him. The only con about working with Peter is that he likes to keep refining everything until the last possible minute. If you ever watch the making of the lord of the rings or kong docs, everyone works until they run out of time.
According to James Cameron, Ron Howard is the nicest director ^_^
You know a film will be beautiful when the Behind-the-Scenes clips are beautiful already.
That aged well!!!
@@colors6692 very well

That's an amazing comment. Gave me goosebumps.
How would behind the scenes videos change your life and who you are as a person? Seems a bit over the top tbh.
I agree completely. This isn't just a glimpse of New Zealand, its a glimpse of middle earth, and a huge production. I'm in complete awe.
@@alwaysNoided1 world was different back 7 years ago, my friend.

Peter Jackson - The biggest Kid i know "Is it a floater"
Can’t remember how many times I’ve watched all these!
Whoever edited these saw the opportunity to use music from LOTR and snatched it up, very well done
Those heli's in formation.. So awesome...Oh, and the scenery was splendiferous
Incredible when you imagine that Peter Jackson has assets of 400 million Dollars. He just acts and dresses so normal. I know people earning 2k per month, and putting themselves in expensive clothings, and acting like super rich
What a weird thing to say. You clearly have no imagination if you think that being rich means that you must dress nice or expensive.
Thats why they will never be rich
When you really have money, you can afford not to care.
you cant blame people like that. you will only understand them if you will become like them.
who cares?
I can only imagine what a blessing it must have been to work with all these people on these movies
I really enjoy, watching the Hobbit👍
I just wish it had been longer😊 and there'd been alot more singing!
Deep respect, for all those talented people involved.
Looking to see more in the future😊👍
All the best to everybody.🤗

These films touch peoples hearts and I thank you so much for these extras....your film making is truly Magic.

Thank you from South Africa 🇿🇦 Peter Jackson you are amazing!
Very enlightening, and so interesting to watch ! I'm so glad the director took the time and trouble to give us a notion about the movie - making process.
Thank you for doing this Mr. Jackson. Appreciate all the insights you are providing.
I love the hobbit and LOTR I've read and watched them about a hundred times.
u read silmarillion?
Peter jackson, cast, and crew. Thank you for all the hard work endless nights and sacrifices you've made to bring us these Movies it warms my heart when i watch them. Reminds me of a time when i still had my mom and she was a huge fan of the books and movies.
These landscapes are breathtaking! I'll never get to go to New Zealand, so thank you for this.
This has got to be at least the 10th time I've binged this entire series. So nostalgic
How do I get a job on a set like this?!
Be a kiwi in the New Zealand film industry a few years ago.
Do what Andy Serkis did. Come in, work your arse off, pour your blood and sweat, literally and you'll be recognized.
work on sets for years and years before that and be really good at your job lol
@Kilo Mintoni why do you think the hobbit sucked, i enjoyed them
Just sit at home and watch porn.
2021, first time seeing this. Almost 10 years old and still amazing
Wow ….. The amount of man-hours that went into the making of this movie is mind-boggling. Not to mention the amount of imagination and just plain hard work from all involved. Wonderful !
Damn, even the best boy casually goes three weeks to Bali during off-time. I need to get me a job in the movie industry asap!
bali is cheap once you go there
Trust Kiwi's to use rugby fields as a standard unit of measurement. Haha!
Just love these vlogs I've watched them several times over and still get so pumped about these movies LOVE IT!!!!
3:36 he seems so nice and kind!
I can’t get enough of this
Wow...so much work. Even on vacation. And yet there are tons of bad reviews. Maybe they've changed a lot from the books but for me, its the best movie series I've watched. Hope to see another one in the future. Thank you sir!

I’m loving these videos , thank you mr Peter Jackson , greetings from a big fan of you in Mexico 🇲🇽
This makes me wish all over again that I could go to New Zealand...
As a film maker, it's always a blessing to stay in somewhere like New Zealand. I live in Scotland and we have some gorgeous sights on our doorstep, will be using as much as we can in our next movie! Can't wait for The Hobbit, just hope the manage to keep Smaug under wraps until the cinema
I never thought Peter Jackson was such a Down to Earth person, he's so nice... :3
wow, this is just amazing, cant wait for this, i saw the trailer at the imax theater and it blew my mind
I really admire Your work. You are inspiration. Thanks for giving us LOTR and The Hobbit.
THANK YOU Peter and fellows... its the best!
Andy's reaction to "Just give us a good battle" was hilarious. He looked so overwhelmed - 1:29
At 9:11 Peter Jackson checks if a branch is a "Floater".
Now I'm wondering if the line "Well, that's lovely, that is. A floater." in the movie is an inside joke...
Among all of the production diaries, this one is my favorite. From start to finish I find it so relaxing and fascinating to watch.

wow this production diaries are so amazing !! keep it up ! love watching them!
I mean, going to all of those locations to scout looks like a dream
these are the most amazing behind-the-scenes clips i've ever seen.
Anyone watching in lockdown?
yep!
@@tripplel8495 cool 😎

Yes.
Thats one amazing glorious movie i have ever seen in my life!! Thank you Peter!!

It must be so very satisfying to find the perfect location for a scene. And what incredible landscapes they have to choose from in NZ.
So beautiful!
Andy serkis has risen the ranks and taken alot of peter jackson’s old responsibilities.
This is great! Thank you Sir!
peter. the coolest director ever.
Makes me appreciate living here so much more :)
I love the location sooooooo much that I'm thinking I must going there someday!!!!
Magic even behind the movie...
so magical! :D
the music makes my heart fill with joy.
I wish I could just hang out with Peter for like 6 months and just be mentored
i agree with you, as i saw the bts on the lotr, the story between the film crew and the great way of just being a family touched me more than the movie itself, even cried when the bts was over :/
oh man i just found ur channel today and tell u what. now i really want to work in a film studio
Loving these insights
A lot of work, money, time a.s.o. but at least, one of the best movies ever!!!
Peter please do the Eragon! pleeeaasee
If Peter Jackson would do the movies, then it would work out okay. Please, Peter, think about taking on "Eragon". But with Garrett Hedlund as Murtagh. He was perfect for the role in the one movie they produced.
❤️ Sir Peter
Surprising how well the LOTR music fits the footage of the helicopters! :o
I love how the Kiwis measure space in rugby fields
i love my country. So beautiful
Awesome work Peter!
Finally I understand why the budget of AAA movies are as big as they are... This is inspiring
What a beautiful & pristine nature new zealand has 😭😍
Incredible
You are good with management... 👏
My sister just got back from studying abroad in New Zealand and got to see Hobbiton and a few other sets. I'm still jealous.
What an incredible job to have been a part of.
I've seen it and it was an amazing movie ;-)
Everytime Peter Jackson is sitting somewere with a drink in his hand,sometimes he takes a photo and always he is doing nothing. But I think he is the best director of the world.
Yea ,he was totally better in Bad taste.
Maybe bad taste 2 would make you fear his courage again.
3:27 So that's why the Doctor is so obsessed with Barcelona at the beginning of New Who. He's actually been there.
i wish behind the scenes of a movie would change my life
been waiting 5 years
Just an amazing, unimaginative amount of time and money goes into an hour or two of making a movie..
It just blows my mind!
Today I seen a beautifully Chinese made 98 inch U.L.C.D television
