Behind the Scenes of the Most Epic Safety Video Ever Made

As the official airline of Middle-earth, Air New Zealand brought together an entire army to create The Most Epic Safety Video Ever Made. Go behind the scenes with Elijah Wood, Sir Peter Jackson and the wizards of Weta Workshop to witness magic being created.
You'll explore authentic filming locations such as the majestic mountain ranges in Queenstown and the lush, humble dwelling of Hobbiton. Go one on one with Hobbit cast members and discover that your Middle-earth adventure is closer than you think.

Love how Taika Waititi title is "director & wizard"

[@scruffygaming627]

Little known fact: That's actually his title in all the movies he does.

[@scruffygaming627]

As epic as this is, actually living in NZ is 10x more epic. You just cannot capture all the awesomeness of NZ on film. Best place to live/visit in the world.
