Peter Jackson and Co. posted another installment of their video blogs on the making of “The Hobbit.” This is the first of two that focus on location shooting. It starts with a few shots of the dwarves practicing for their river scenes. The rest is all about Hobbiton and features a lot of footage of Elijah Wood reminiscing and taking the camera around. I’m with Peter Jackson. I’d retire to live there if I could. And the great news for fans of the books and the films (as well as the New Zealand Department of Tourism) is that when they rebuilt the Hobbiton set, they used actual building materials (stone, wood, etc. instead of plaster and foam). So it will now be there to go visit for a very long time. Enjoy.
