An Unexpected Journey: WETA Digital Effects

Past the jump you'll find three incredibly interesting (and informative videos) about the techniques that WETA used to create the Great Goblin, Azog and Gollum. I was particularly interested to learn that switching Azog to an all-digital character was a very late-in-the-process move. Enjoy!

The New Hobbit Trailer has Arrived!

I know this is a little late getting out (school and life got in the way . . .) but here is the new Hobbit trailer! If you're anything like me, you've probably watched this thing a dozen times already. But hey, who can say no to more hobbit-y goodness?

I'll be getting up a screen-by-screen analysis ASAP, but in the mean time: Goblins! Wargs! Stone Giants! Oh my! This trailer was absolutely awesome.

Enjoy!
