Sometimes, investing upfront in more/diverse gear, means you can shoot your production faster, and thus safe money. Human’s are the most expensive things when considering the split of costs in any company.
I hope you were joking. Though, I did have to explain to people at the time that that part was just a joke, so I can't be sure. They may have cooked something up for that still image for people who do have the right glasses, but they definitely were not creating it side by side and didn't make "3D" concept art as anything but a joke.
Those two had been illustrating Tolkien for decades before they first met on the production of Lord of the Rings, thanks to Peter Jackson. Somehow it makes me happy to see them working together so closely. They were hired for the LotR series by Amazon, too.
@@khymaaren ...really now? Is there proof of this? I am genuinely curious!...but...my heart is still aching and very cautious; it is hurting me beyond words that Peter(speaking regarding this moment now in time)will no longer be a part of this transcendetal, visionary trio. I am hoping so hard that Peter would somehow, impossibly, miraculously come back and take lead of this Amazon endeavour. But yes....I know already. It very well may not happen again. I just simply do not trust anyone else. Does it sound irrational, biased, naïve? I don't know, but it is just simply how I am feeling about this whole situation.
I know Peter Jackson will never see this...but someone has got to say it..He is truly, truly one of the most brilliant film makers of our time, thank you for putting your heart and soul into all the LOTR's movies, it truly does show...your commitment to perfection in telling a story like this will be your legacy and will continue to be watched by billions thru out time, thanks Pete, love you man!!!

I always though of Peter Jackson as being someone who had an artistic vision of what the LOTR movies should be, and knew how to go about telling people what he wanted to have happen. Without these vlogs, and the documentaries, I'd not have known of the vast technical knowledge he has, and has had to acquire.
I like how Peter Jackson always use New Zealand, his home land, as the production base for his movies. Imagine job opportunities his movie productions will generate for the people of that country. True son of the soil and a legend.
The human eye can physiologically detect up to 1000 frames per second. The average human, tasked with detecting what framerate he/she is looking at, can accurately guess up to around 150 fps. That is, they can see the difference in framerates all the way to 150 fps.
For years we've been watching movies at 24fps, nobody as ever complaint. They pushed it to 60 now that digital is "free to store" to give a more natural look. If they pushed it to 150 fps then 1 Gb a second, would be a technical problem with storage. A movie would weight Terabytes.
@@AirForceOne_prod. I'm only shooting 4k 24ps and it uses 200GBs an hour. So yes it would be a technological nightmare to record and store higher frame rates.
@@ferencszabo3504 Nope, you can clearly see a difference between 25fps, 60fps and 85fps. On screen at least. Or you could try with a stroboskope light, flashing at these speeds. You will clearly see a difference.
@@ferencszabo3504 Enough for the illusion of fluid movement yes. But the human eye can easily distinguish between 144fps and 240fps in fast paced videogames.

I totally took out my 3D glasses, unreal how cool this video is & the art work you showcased. It definitely makes me more inspired by the work put in to this film. Thanks so much for the experience!
I had the opportunity to watch the first Hobbit movie on an IMAX screen in 48 fps HDR and 3D. Good lord, that was like being inside the movie. Was one of the most exciting moments I have ever experienced in a cinema.
Dang. As a filmmaker myself, this was so inspiring to watch. Knowing that the cameras they shot this with are basically "outdated" at this point, but that's great because now you can buy them for a cheaper price and you'll still get an incredible image; if you are going for the same look as this movie.
PJ, you're so sweet to give out these bits and pieces of sweet treats. I feel like it's 'Film Appreciation School with Peter Jackson and Friends'. And every time I learn something new.
The amount of detail put into these scenes are hardly ever noticed in the film but watching the camera just go by everything it's a whole other experience. Somtimes I just pause the movie and look at all the amazing work in the scene.
I am so happy and grateful that I finally got these recommended to me by RUclips in November 2019. This is so interesting, so amazing to watch. I own the 3D-BluRay Extended Edition of the Hobbits, but so far have only watched it in 2D, because I'm not a huge fan of 3D (it makes my head spin), but I will definately give it a try after watching this. Also it is just 1 month to christmas and for me LotR and Hobbit are movies best watched around this time of the year (probably because of the cinema release time). I'm happy, just because I watched this on RUclips - you are a magician Peter Jackson (and everyone else involved). Thank you! :)
The most amazing, the way they draw at will in 3D. A big fan of the movie. When my children were babies, I just to listen to the tape collections of the Hobbit and that was in the 80's.
Thanks for putting all this effort into the diaries. It reveals what a massive project making this film was. I get the feeling that no expense was spared, which is probably rare in the world of financing projects. It was a good move considering the result: a wonderful film for all to enjoy. I hope the investment paid back too. I come back to watch the main feature every year or so; it doesn’t get old. Well done, everyone.
May I ask what the problem is with them shooting it in 3D? I'm not very knowledgable in the area of cinema but to me it seems like you could just watch the 2D version.
@@CrippleX89 Most of these movies scenes have been set to give a 3D Frame, it's hard to explain but you have so many scenes that just don't fit into 2D. Dragons flying right at you, spitting fire, falling ice chunks left and right, waves of golden coins showering the audience.... Cut of orc heads flying right at your face and so much more. Converted to 2D it just looks awkward and takes away from the Tolkien magic.
I love these vlogs! But when I went to the Hobbit in the cinema in 3D it wasn't really 3D I only had large stupid and hurting glasses in front of my big glasses :/ Brilliant film and I'm looking forward to the other 2 films :D
The casting of Martin Freeman as Bilbo is a masterstroke. He looks uncannily like a young Ian Holm, and I'm sure his acting prowess will translate extremely well to The Hobbit.
If you look at the Wikipedia for 3D movies since 2005, almost none are shot this way anymore. I was just curious if people were still putting in this much effort to shoot 3D.
I didn't even know the hobbit was in 3D..... I didn't see it in 3D and I think I prefer 2D more so that's good. Peter, yah said a lot of complicated things, too much for my tiny brain to comprehend! :O
1080p - Standard resolution of your TV at Home 4k - Is here (Standard Resolution nowadays) 5k - We have much more data to work with 6k - Me shooting a YT video in 2020
When they said if you had 3D glasses at 9:39 so that you can look at the picture, I quickly ran to my Spy Kids 3D movie and grabbed the glasses. The drawing looks amazing!
They made this great movie while some time wearing the plastic blue/red 3D glasses I had as a kid!? It is amazing how the end product is when knowing about behind the scenes.
It's crazy how much effort goes into shooting movies in 3d when you can basically only get the effect while the film's in theaters. I hope the new popularity of VR headsets makes at-home 3d viewing more easy and accessible in the near future.
Remember Jackson said in an earlier diary that they fill one of those 120 GB cards in 15 min. So, pretty big file in the end for the raw footage, around 1.2 TB :D

I find it incredibly amusing that Elijah said of the 3D quality, "You almost feel like you're in it." Uh, Elijah? You ARE in it.
But just in 1 scene 😅
I thought exactly the same thing the moment he said that.
8 years later I'm back binging on this production series, still amazing

Wait until you find out how much shooting on film costs, you'd take back that comment
I'm just flabbergasted at them drawing 3D by hand with each of them drawing one colour. That's just some serious talent and hard work there!
i can barely do stick figures

"The human eye sees 60FPS" coming from a movie maker??

I love that we get to see all this behind the scenes really shows how much effort and work goes into these spectacular movies
Looking at the amount of work these people had put into 3D filming and the bloody thing never went mainstream
Yeah, I agree. Seems it was way more effort for only a small payoff.

People who know they are speaking to a large, non-technically savvy audience that need things to be somewhat simplified.
He meant, at a certain point the eye cannot differentiate between the frames, so the moving image appears fluid.
@@TheTuubster even so, the number he gave isnt even close to that point
Just amazing. Great work Hobbit team!
I looked a the pictures with 3D glasses and they look really amazing *-* such talent
Thank god 3D is long dead. The image is much sharper in 2D. The best format for movies is in IMAX
it's only dead if it's done badly
but yes IMAX is the best
James Cameron reinvented 3D on avatars 2-5
