I must admit that when I heard a few weeks back that Peter Jackson chose to film The Hobbit using 3D for dramatic effect, in order to "give a point of view" I got a pretty bad feeling about these movies. Did anyone who saw the Lord of the Rings trilogy think, yeah this is good but if only it was shot in 3D... How does adding a third dimension add to the great storytelling of Middle Earth? I could go on, but I think this recent surge in the third dimension in films will die all by itself life just like all the past incarnations.
So coming in with this skepticism I saw Jackson's first installment of the behind the scenes filming of the Hobbit. Needless to say, just getting a glimpse of the care and detail that Jackson puts into filming these epic stories reminded me of the miracle he put together to get the trilogy filmed. So, I will put my skepticism aside and be optimistic that he will do an amazing job just as we have come to expect. Just hearing the Hobbiton theme song and seeing the sets in this video got my nerd-side excited.
