New German video about the "Hobbit" film.

The German film website "moviepilot.de" has recently posted a video about Hobbiton and several artists working on the "Hobbit" films.
http://www.moviepilot.de/...f-dem-jupiter-115117
The relevant part starts at 07:10 and ends around 13:00.
They did not dub the New Zealanders, so you will be able to understand most of the report.
Ceterum censeo montem artis magicae atrae esse delendam

Sorry for any spelling mistakes, don't have time to re-read everything now, but here's the translation...
Dinosaurs, Statues, Trees, in the world of cinema lots of things are just props. In the workshops of movie productions the props are created that are used to bring blockbusters like Avatar, King Kong or Lord of the Rings to life.
Interview Tony Drawbridge
First, drawings and samples are created for all parts of film set and props, followed by a phase of experimenting with various materials. Forging, painting, tailoring, upholstering, and joinery, the crew needs to be able to master all of this to create the perfect set.
2nd part Interview Tony Drawbridge
Next door Tony’s colleague Jake works on a statue of Jesus.
Interview Jake Yocum
The artists, possessing great skills and trained eyes, are going very much into detail.
2nd part interview Jake Yocum
Whole sets can be created in the workshop, but the movie fan only rarely really takes notice of these incredible pieces of art. The huge creative team designs and builds everything, starting with creatures and ending with historic cities.
3rd part interview Tony Drawbridge
But not all props are being produced in workshops. One of the biggest open air film sets of the world is Hobbitton in Matamata, New Zealand. After shooting Lord of the Rings, the hobbit holes fell into disrepair, only to be recreated for the shooting of The Hobbit.
Nobody knows more about the movie sets than Ian Brodie. Millions of his location guide books have been sold worldwide
Interview Ian Brodie
From what angle will the scene be shot? How long will the set be in use? That are the deciding factors when building the set. Then everything is recreated true to detail.
2nd part Interview Ian Brodie
Set designers, builder, prop builders and gardeners needed more than a year until the home of the hobbits was ready for filming.
3rd part Interview Ian Brodie
The works on sets and props are eclectic. For King Kong, a whole team was busy for months to carry out modifications on the Venture 2 for the shooting of the remake. There were also parts recreated out of polystyrene for indoor sets. If it is building a ship, stones, weapons or the anatomy of a gorilla, the artists have to be real allrounders.
4th part interview Tony Drawbridge
Again and again, new ideas are required, and when it comes to movie sets or props, artists often are under a lot of pressure to deliver on time.
5th part Interview Tony Drawbridge
But the works on the Hobbit set are strictly confidential, and so we are not allowed inside with our camera.

...for having EVERY movie dubbed.Whether it's TV series, or big Hollywood production...they dub everything. For me it ruins the joy of watching the movie. I feel absolutely okay with dubbing animated movies like Shreck or Madagascar (and in fact, our Polish actors are best in the world in it), but movies with real actors...IMHO it's just crap crappy crap.

aifeme, I tend to agree with you at some point, seeing or reading something in it's original version is the best. But not everyone understand the original language which is often English and does not enjoy reading subtitle while watching. So that's when dub become important for some people. It's the same with French, everything is translated from books to movies to TV shows. Some wants the thing in their own language and that can be understandable.

aifeme, that may be true but if everything is dubbed as you said there are probably not a big majority of people that are bilingual unless I am wrong.
Anyway, I understand well cause I am in the same situation, I have to go out of town if I want to find a theater that propose original version movies and that can be complicated. So it is more practical to wait the DVD release to see it in the language that I want to. It is what it is for most people where I live are not bilingual.
